Zero Waste Marin is working on a pilot program with non-profit Reuse Alliance to bring free Repair Fairs to Marin County!
Repair Fairs are free events where community members can bring an item (lamp, bike, clothes, small appliances, etc.) for free repair. Rather than leaving and retuning later to pick up their item, attendees sit with a Repair Coach who explains their approach to fixing the item. The Coach and attendee work collaboratively to try to fix the item, so that attendees learn more about fixing and hopefully feel empowered to try to fix other things. Repair Fairs keep useful items out of the landfill and spread knowledge and love of reuse and repair!

Donations of dirty or unwearable clothes, underwear, bathing suits, or non-clothing items will not be accepted.
