What are Fix-it Nights?
Fix-it Nights are free, community-based events where community members come together for the fun of taking stuff apart and putting it back together again. In this process items get fixed, rather than buying a new one and preventing throwing something away. Come and learn how things work, enjoy some good company and save an item from ending up in the landfill.
The benefits of Fix-it Nights
Repair your stuff – bring your broken items and get them repaired by skilled fixers.
Community building – Meet and chat with your neighbors, connect with other fixers.
Waste reduction – instead of throwing it away, give your item new life by getting it repaired.
Learning opportunities – apprenticeships, community resources/information.
What to expect
ALL WELCOME!
Expect to check-in, sign a waiver and watch as your item is repaired. Community members observe, learn and help if needed.
Let us know if you plan to come and what you will be bringing (even if it’s just yourself!) No pre-registration required. Drop-ins accepted at a first come, first serve basis.
What items you can bring to a Fix-it Nights
Most items are welcome for free repair. Below is a list of item examples that community members can bring:
DO NOT bring any items that are leaking, dangerous, contain gasoline or have a strong odor
We cannot work on cell phones or locked-out electronics and no broken screen repair.
Other important information
We can repair up to one item per visit (if there is time at the end of the night, more items can be repaired).
You must be present during the repair.
There is no assurance an item can be repaired, or that attempting to fix it won’t break it even more.
Only bring items small enough to be easily carried in by one person.
Clothing and other textiles that you bring in for mending should be washed first.
If your item needs a part, save time and bring the new part with you.
Bring any manuals or extra components you may have for the item you bring in to be fixed.
