SANTA MONICA HOSTS THE WESTSIDE REPAIR CAFÉ
April 7, 2016 3:12 PM
Before you buy a new toaster to replace the one that is broken, give the Repair Café a try on April 30th. We may be able to repair it. Experienced volunteers, known as Fixers, will be on hand to repair your household goods.
On April 30th, the Resource Recovery & Recycling Division will focus on repair and reuse as part of our Zero Waste Strategic Plan. Various experts will be available: electricians, seamstresses, electronics technicians, carpenters, and more, to help make all possible repairs free of charge. Tools and materials will also be available. Repair and tinkering are becoming lost arts, but the Repair Cafe aims to change that!
We throw away an incredible amount of stuff every day - but imagine extending the life of your items at little to no cost! Saving used items from landfills is key to reducing our waste. Bring torn clothes, books, broken furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, computers, and toys. Fixers will be on hand to help and offer advice on the best way to reuse and repair your most beloved possessions. Event will be held at Santa Monica’s Marine Park, 1406 Marine Street from 2PM to 5PM, see you there!
