Richmond Repair Fair + Pop-Up Reuse Event

Richmond is encouraging residents to “Rethink Waste” to help reduce waste and support a circular economy, including extending the life of items by maintaining, repairing and reusing them rather than buying new.

Book an appointment with a repair expert today!

Let's reuse to reduce waste. You’re invited to drop-off small, clean items, in good working order.

• Swap it – drop-off items for others to choose from and pick out new-to-you items.
• Leave it – leave items without taking home anything new.
• Take it – everyone is welcomed to take items.

Examples of accepted items (all items must fit in a reusable shopping bag):

• Clothing
• Clothing accessories, bags, backpacks
• Books
• CDs, DVDs, Blue-ray discs
• Computers, laptops, monitors
• Shoes
• Video game systems
• Toys
• Small appliances (hair dryer, blender, etc.)
