The appliances are neither repaired nor returned to their owners. They are taken apart by Repair Café volunteers to salvage spare parts that are still usable. These parts can then be used in Repair Cafés across the country to repair other appliances.

The project thus gives a second life to components that are still functional and prevents them from ending up directly in electronic waste.
Small electrical appliances without batteries are accepted. Refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, and lawn mowers, in particular, are not included.

Participation is voluntary. Electrical waste can still be dropped off as usual at SICA.

In Capellen, near the Paul Glück Tennis Center, a new tower for swallows has just been installed. It offers these birds a safe place to shelter and nest.

As part of NaturPakt, the local authority is providing additional nesting sites and actively contributing to the preservation of biodiversity. This initiative is of particular importance, as modern architecture is making it increasingly difficult to build nests on facades and buildings.

With its various nesting boxes, this special tower creates a new living space for the swallows and guarantees them a safe place to breed. Swallows are usually present in our region from mid-April to mid-September. During this period, they reproduce and, with a little luck, you’ll be able to spot a few around the new tower.
