Fixit Clinic Will Teach You To Fix your Household Items

Posted on by

The Solid Waste Management Department and Keep Albuquerque Beautiful will partner with Quelab Makerspace and Fuse Makerspace to host this year’s Fixit Clinic on Saturday, February 24, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon, at the Quelab Makerspace, 680 Haines Ave NW. 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.

There is also need for skilled individuals who are handy and experienced in sewing, woodwork, leatherwork, electronics, small appliances, and jewelry, so please register if you have any of these skills.

The City is dedicated to hearing from community members and tailoring sustainability projects to meet the public’s needs and expectations. Currently, the City is asking community members to share their vision for a citywide composting program.

There are two ways to get involved: (1) attend one of the upcoming in-person listening sessions or (2) watch a short video describing the framework for the design project and fill out the short online feedback form.

There are two listening sessions each week through February 7th, and each is at a different library across town. View the list of listening sessions, view the video, and send feedback by visiting: https://www.cabq.gov/sustainability/waste/waste-resources#city
