Repair Café

A repair café brings together people with items to repair and volunteer fixers willing to share their skills and tools. They inspire people to repair items as an alternative to just throwing them away. Bring your broken item (one item per person) and any replacement parts your repair might need. Bring in your small appliances, jewelry, toys, clothing, bicycles and other items in need of repair.

The Repair Cafe is taking place at the Schomberg Public Library.

Please note, there is no guarantee items can be fixed. Also, items we cannot fix include:

• Sewing machines
• Broken zippers
• Hems and alterations
• Gas-powered machinery (chainsaws, lawnmowers, snow blowers)
• Items containing hazardous waste (gas, oil, chemicals, pesticides, etc.)

• Large kitchen appliances
• Single serve coffee machines (e.g. Keurig and Nespresso coffee machines)

Important Information:

• Registration is required due to limited availability. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your time slot.

• One item per registered guest.
• Guests may bring a maximum of 1 extra person.
• The work carried out in the Repair Café is free of charge on a voluntary basis by the fixers at hand.

• Visitors offering broken items for repair do so at their own risk. Experts making repairs offer no guarantee for the repairs carried out with their help and are not liable if objects that are repaired in the Repair Café turn out not to work properly at home.

• Fixers are entitled to refuse to repair certain objects at their own discretion.
• Fixers are not obliged to reassemble disassembled appliances that cannot be repaired.
• Visitors to the Repair Café are solely responsible for the tidy removal of broken objects that could not be repaired.

• New parts or materials required for a repair shall be provided by the visitor.

The Repair Café is provided in partnership with The Regional Municipality of York, Schomberg Public Library and NewMakeIt
