You know, the one with the busted pull chain and persnickety cord your college roommate gave you? Yeah, that one. Do you think it might be time to get that thing fixed?</p><p>"What if I told you there is a place you can go to have your lamps rewired, your vintage denim mended, your bicycle tires patched, your weed wackers restrung and your great-grandmother’s heirloom necklace soldered — all for free?</p><p>"Sounds too good to be true, right? Not so! On Sunday, April 6, volunteers and staff with Arcata’s Recreation Division will host the first Humboldt Repair Café, a free event at the Arcata Community Center where people can take their broken stuff (electronics, clothing, jewelry, furniture, crockery, small appliances, etc.) to be repaired by local fixers. If you can carry it, chances are, they can fix it. </p><p>"'The rule is it has to be small enough that you can carry it in by yourself,' volunteer coordinator Wendy Ring told the Outpost. 'We won’t be able to take in refrigerators and things like that. We’ll have a retired electrician to work with smaller electrical appliances. We also have some IT specialists to help people with their computers. We have experts at putting fancy patches on clothes and another person for bicycle repairs. This is our first Repair Café, but we have quite a variety of people!'</p><p>"The upcoming event is part of an international movement, which originated in Amsterdam in 2009, to combat '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThrowawayCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThrowawayCulture</span></a>,' promote <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sustainability</span></a> and teach people practical repair skills. 'We just bring our skills and fix stuff together,' Ring said.</p><p>"'The Repair Café movement is trying to change consumer culture and say, ‘No, we can’t just throw things away because they don’t just disappear,’ she continued. 'This is a way of making the things that we have last longer and teaching people how to fix things by watching our volunteers as they’re doing repairs. It’s also community building, which is something that we really need right now.'</p><p>"While the event is free, volunteers may request a donation if they need extra materials for repair. In some cases, it may take volunteers a little longer to diagnose the issue and get the parts needed for the fix.</p><p>"'If we don’t have the part on hand, we may ask you to come back next month,' Ring said, adding that she hopes to host the event once a month. 'Sometimes, it’s going to be a multi-step repair. We do have some people who have 3D printers who will be able to make parts for people. … We’ll also have little handbells around, and when a repair is made, we’ll ring the bell and have a mini celebration.'</p><p>"Asked what she would be taking to the Repair Café, Ring said she has a Kindle that needs fixing, some clothes her dog has chewed on and a jacket with a broken zipper. 'I put a collection of beautiful beach pebbles in my jacket pocket, and I’ve never been able to unzip it,' she said. 'That was a year ago. I can sew a little bit, but I can’t do zippers!'</p><p>"Cullen Groom, recreation supervisor for the City of Arcata’s environmental services department, is helping to support the program on behalf of the city, which is allowing the Repair Café to use the community center’s senior room free of charge."</p><p>FMI: <a href="https://lostcoastoutpost.com/2025/mar/26/repair-cafe/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lostcoastoutpost.com/2025/mar/</span><span class="invisible">26/repair-cafe/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafesCalifornia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RepairCafesCalifornia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RepairCafes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairReuseRecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RepairReuseRecycle</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuildingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BuildingCommunity</span></a></p>

cybervegan<p>Telford <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/RepairCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RepairCafe</span></a> moves around venues in the broader Telford area, and it was at Sutton Hill's "Hub on the Hill" today, 10AM to 2PM. I had a decent success rate today - 3 out of 3 repairs were successful: A slow cooker with the crock stuck in the body - a right pain to get it out, but persistence and a bit of lateral thinking overcame; a laptop that wouldn't stay on - turned out that the screws holding one of the screen hinges on had all worked loose, which was resulting in the screen cable being pulled out of its socket; and an anklet that needed putting back together, requiring a tiny dot of epoxy glue. Overall, we had about 10 repairers and looked at about 30 items. We were joined by a new repairer, who has previously brought items to be fixed, and also visited by a lovely young lad of about 6 years old, who went round (with his dad, who brought in the aforementioned laptop) asking the repairers about things they were repairing, and how they were working out what was wrong, and how they were doing repairs.</p>
