Getting tired of seeing broken household items pile up in your closet? The Fix-it Clinic at Wildwood Library in Woodbury might just be the solution. The event, set for June 1, is rallying the community to reduce waste and keep their items alive for longer. Volunteers at the clinic will be ready to get their hands dirty by offering their expertise on a variety of household goods. So, before you toss that toaster or give up on your old lamp, consider swinging by this community-powered repair hub.
According to an announcement on Washington County's official website, the event is a testament to the power of community action in promoting sustainability. Whether it has to do with simple clothing repairs or more complex electronic issues, the helping hands at the Fix-it Clinic are prepared to try and breathe new life into your items. However, the clinic has made it clear that attendees are to only bring what they can carry themselves – no oversized items are welcome, to ensure the smooth operation of the clinic.
A full list of accepted items has been published on the event's webpage, including everyday items like blenders, fans, and toys, ensuring that a wide variety of goods can be catered to. But the clinic has its limits; e-cigarettes, weapons, or any oversized items that can't be easily carried in and out of the venue are to be left at home.
Furthermore, for those with a penchant for fixing things or a desire to learn such skills, the clinic is actively seeking volunteers. Beginners and experts alike are encouraged to get involved, with the potential to pick up new handy skills in the process. Volunteering details and contacts can be found via email at [email protected] or by calling 651-430-6655. For those who cannot make it to the June event, future clinics have been scheduled for September 7 at the Environmental Center and December 7 at Hardwood Creek Library.
