🪄 Broken lamps, fans, clocks, vacuums, small kitchen appliances.
🪄 Broken jewelry clasps, earring hooks (no fine jewelry).

Plan ahead for repairs
🔧 Bring anything that may be needed to repair your item: parts, buttons, matching thread, power cords, batteries, instructions manuals, etc.
🔧 If participants bring multiple items (allowed), we can only work on one item at a time and may not be able to fix more than one item per person. We try to help everyone who brings an item.
🔧 Volunteers will do their best to repair your item, but some repairs may be too complicated or require resources that aren't available at the event.
There may be a wait depending on the number of repairs.
👕Clothing Swap
Theme: Coats and winter wear.
"Shop" the swap for clean items in good repair with the option to bring items to share with others.
You don't need to donate clothing or have anything repaired to participate in the swap. Please bring your own bag. Master Recyclers will be available to answer questions about reuse and waste prevention.
