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.
