We throw away a lot of stuff, often because it's cheaper to replace rather than repair it or we just don't know how to fix it.
That’s where Repair Cafés come in! Together with our volunteers, you can have your broken items repaired instead of tossing them.* We'll be doing fixes for items such as:
--Bikes
--Clothing/textiles (no alterations, please)
--Computers (Virus/malware removal, file transfers, other basic repairs)
--Electronics
--Jewelry
--Lamps
--Small appliances (e.g., replacing cords on handmixers, toasters, irons, etc.)
*Limit of 1 item per repair category and 3 items total.
Clothing Swap and Bike Collection:
We'll also have another clothing swap where you can bring your clothing to trade with others--spruce up your closet the sustainable way!
Volunteers needed!
If you're someone who enjoys tinkering or problem-solving to get something working again or loves to organize, we're looking for volunteers! Sign up here:

Tools welcome!
If you have surplus tools, such as screwdrivers, hammers, clamps, pliers, wrenches, drills and soldering equipment lying around taking up space, donate them to Re.Use.Full to use at upcoming Repair Cafés! Contact us at
