About
What do you do with a broken toaster? Or a bike with a flat tire? Toss it? No way! Save your broken household goods from the landfill by mending them with help from your neighbors. Makers of all ages welcome. Have Something In Need of Repair? If possible, register in advance for this event so we can provide information about your repair request to our volunteers ahead of time, then drop-in any time during our Repair Café to attempt a repair with one of our coaches. Limit (1) reserved repair per attendee, but you're welcome to bring along additional items in case there's extra time. Please keep in mind: The work carried out in the Repair Café is performed free of charge on a voluntary basis by the repair coaches available. Our volunteers and staff cannot accept tips. Participants carry out the repairs themselves whenever possible, but repair coaches on site can help if necessary. Drop-off service is not provided. Repair coaches are entitled to refuse to repair any object. Repair coaches will not reassemble disassembled appliances that cannot be repaired. Participants in the Repair Café are solely responsible for the tidy removal of broken objects that could not be repaired. Participants offering broken items for repair do so at their own risk. All participants are required to sign an acknowledgement of these policies and a liability waiver. Want to Help? Are you handy and have the skills and tools to repair broken electronics, household appliances, bikes, small furniture, mend clothes and more? Sign up on our volunteer repair coach form and join us for an afternoon of repairing broken items together!
