If it’s broke, fix it! Let’s extend the life of our products, and keep them out of the landfill! Bring your broken electronics, furniture, clothing, outdoor gear, and more. “Fixit Coaches” from the Truckee Roundhouse will teach you how to repair your item. This is a FREE community event run by volunteers!
Repair is a sustainable act that encourages reusing resources at hand rather than purchasing new. To date, Truckee Fixit Clinics have saved over 1,000 lbs of items from the landfill! We’ve repaired items from toaster ovens, wooden chairs, to lamps, puffy jackets and denim. Bring in what you got, our “Fixit Coaches” are up for the challenge! But even if the item isn’t fixed, there’s a valuable educational aspect to understanding why it stopped working.
Please limit textiles and clothing repairs to 3 items per person. Please note that there is often a wait for Fixit Coaches to assist with clothing & textiles due to the popularity of these items. Thank you for your patience and understanding as our amazing volunteers make an effort to support all attendees! (Be sure to also check out our free Monthly Mending & Repair Workshops for clothing and textiles! https://www.keeptruckeegreen.org/…/monthly-mending…/)
