Reuse and Repair Fair – Zero Waste Week Kickoff

Do you have a lamp, small appliance, textile, or bike in need of repair?

Bring it to the Repair Fair!

Volunteers and specialized repair professionals will be on-hand to repair* your items.  We ask that you stay with your item while it’s being fixed, so you can learn tips for future maintenance, how to shop for repairable goods, and even how to repair things yourself!  

If you’d like to bring an item to repair, please register the item here. (Pre-registering allows us to prepare for your item!)

This is a free public event.

*We cannot guarantee your item(s) will be repaired, depending on the existing damage or breakage, ability of volunteer fixers, and availability of materials for repair. Note we also cannot work on microwaves.

There will also be a clothing swap and an outdoor resource fair featuring many local organizations, and businesses that feature art and products made from upcycled and repurposed goods!

• Does fixing things sound like a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon?  Or want to help out in other ways?  We need you! Email volunteer@reusealliance.org or sign up (https://volunteersignup.org/T79XE) to get involved! 

Zero Waste Week is a grass-roots approach to raise awareness about the environmental impacts of waste and ways to live a more zero waste lifestyle. Throughout the week, groups around the North Bay Area demonstrate how they are part of the solution through public education events and activities that focus on reducing, reusing, recycling, repurposing and composting.
