The next Repair Cafe will be taking place at Grange Court in Leominster on Saturday 11th October, 2014.  It will run from 0930 to 1300 and will have an Upcycling element this time.   That means a specific focus on how things can be reused or turned into something different, rather than be thrown away..

Low and Behold has been working on biogas or Anaerobic Digestion (AD) projects for around ten years.  So we’re pleased to support a new short film explaining the basics of AD.  Fronted by the charming Michael Chesshire and brought into life by metnet, the Marches Environmental Technologies Network, this will tell you all you need.

The swimming caps were provided to us, as they were surplus.

So the festive period has finally arrived and soon we will be entering 2014.  We hope everybody has had a great year and are looking forward to the challenges of the next! The last year has been busy for us with several new services offered.  In the past 12 months we have started a new.

Here at Low and Behold we are always interested in getting our hands dirty and experiencing the reality of the waste industry.  In the past this has included days volunteering at a festival with the recycling crews sorting through the bins to remove any contamination from within the recycling.  Our latest endeavour was to volunteer.
