Repair

Toss it? No Way! Do you have an item that needs a simple fix? Or do you have some practical skills to spare? Join the Repair Café movement, where you can find the tools, skills, and materials required to accomplish the repairs you need. From clothes to furniture, bicycles, and more-- repair events are a free hub for sharing knowledge and helping us appreciate the value of our possessions.

Outside of Repair Cafés, check out the Share Reuse Repair Initiative and iFixit websites to learn how to do some common repairs on your own.

If you cannot fix something on your own, don't forget to support local businesses that specialize in repairing various household items to help support the local economy and keep items out of the landfill.
