Don’t throw away your broken item; bring it to the FREE Repair Café! This event is a rescheduling of the Feb. 7 Cafe that was cancelled due to snow. Because that event was nearly full, we have a limited number of electronics and technology/software appointments available.Zero Waste Salem (formerly SalemRecycles) is hosting a Repair Café on Saturday, February 7, 2026 from 9:00AM - 12:00PM at the Community Life Center at 401 Bridge St. Appointments are required and are for Salem residents.
SCHEDULE an appointment here: https://forms.gle/GGysJaWnHDy7YZMo6 or email [email protected].
REPAIR volunteers will be available to mend clothing, darn socks, serge fabric scraps to make reusable cleaning cloths, and tinker with electronics. These services may change as we confirm volunteers. We hope to see you at this fun event where you can learn how to fix things and reduce your waste!
