Solid Waste Management Hosting Spring Fixit Clinic in March

Image

Do you have a broken item in need of repair? Join the Solid Waste Management (SWM) Department for their Spring Fixit Clinic on Saturday, March 8 from 09:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at Fuse Makerspace, 101 Broadway Ave NE. Bring your broken household items and learn from our experienced coaches how they can be repaired.

This is a free, all-ages event where people can learn how to assess, disassemble, and hopefully repair broken household items instead of sending them to the landfill. The acceptable items include bikes, small appliances, electronics, and sewing projects. Skilled individuals who are handy and experienced in sewing, woodwork, leatherwork, electronics, small appliances, and jewelry are also invited to register as coaches.

Identity Theft Awareness Week

The Federal Trade Commission reminds us that Identity Theft Awareness Week starts today, January 27. If you or someone you know has had their personal information used to open accounts, if you’ve had your tax refund stolen, or if someone has filed a fake health insurance claim in your name, that’s identity theft. It can happen to anyone, but simple steps can help lessen the chance it will happen to you.

The FTC will host free podcasts, webinars, Facebook Live interviews, and other events focused on avoiding and recovering from identity theft and spotting scams. There is information geared toward all walks of life, including military servicemembers, senior citizens, young adults, and business owners.
