Does fixing things sound like a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon? Or want to help out in other ways? They need you to volunteer!
Email volunteer@reusealliance.org or sign up here to get involved!
****
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.
This event will also include a Clothing Swap . Please bring clothing items and accessories (clean and in good shape, no socks or undergarments please!) to share and bring home something new to you! More about clothing swaps here.
*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 cannot work on microwaves and we can’t repair cell phones but we’re happy to refer you to local professionals who can. In addition, the textile department is not able to perform the following:
-
Replacing zippers
-
Repairing shoes, leather, or vinyl materials
-
Performing alterations (making garments bigger/smaller)
-
Replacing rivets/grommets
-
Hemming certain fabrics (stretchy fabric, sleek/luxury fabrics e.g. prom dresses)
If you are in need of garment hemming, we require that you please pin your garment to the desired length before you arrive.
This is not a Bike East Bay event. For comments or questions please contact the organizers.
