Find more information and see the full 2020 schedule here. 

Repair Clark County is a  free community events where skilled 'fixers' volunteer to lend their skills to residents who bring in their broken items for repair. The goal of the events is to keep stuff out of the landfill, conserve resources, save money and share skills throughout the community.

Bring your clothing, small home appliances, electronics, jewelry, or tools/knives that need sharpening, and fixers will try to repair them or help you fix them! Attendees may bring one item each and must be present during the repair. If multiple items are brought, the attendee will need to re-enter the line for their additional item after one repair is completed. Attendees are encouraged to bring replacement parts (i.e. cords, zippers) specific to their broken item for fixers to use in the repair.

Experienced fixers will try to repair or mend your items and can sometimes teach you how to fix them. Please only bring items small enough to be easily carried by one person, and do not bring any items that are leaking, dangerous, dirty or have a strong odor. There are no guarantees an item can be fixed, or that attempting to fix it won’t break it even more, but fixers will be available to diagnose problems and offer their best, unbiased advice. Volunteers will provide free diagnosis and repair skills, and replacement parts may be available for sale at a low cost.Visit RepairClarkCounty.org for more information.

You are invited to drop off broken household items for repair. All items must be preregistered. Visit repairclarkcounty.org for more info and to preregister items. If dropping at a library branch, you must ALSO secure yourself a spot by navigating to the FVRL calendar. Library drop offs are limited to first 20 clients only.
 
We repair items in the categories of:

• Appliances-toasters, mixers, lamps, etc.
• Electronics-radios, CD players, DVD players, vintage radios, etc.
• Sharpening-knives, scissors, pruners, etc. Sorry-we cannot sharpen anything with multiple teeth, such as a saw blade or hedge trimmers
• Sewing-rips, hemming, mending, zippers, etc.
• Other-jewelry, home décor, etc.

 Rules of thumb: All items must be small enough to be easily carried by one person. No microwaves, gas engines or bicycles. Some items may be returned without repair attempts due to space constraints.
 
Questions? Please see the website. You can also contact the program coordinator, Terra by emailing  [email protected] or calling 360-882-0936 X 224

ReLit, Columbia Springs' upcycled lighting festival, showcases the connection between environmental education and the footprint of the everyday “stuff” we all have.
Giving extended life to unrepairable items is full circle stewardship and preserves the natural resources used to create them.

September 4th – September 10th: Lamps showcased in Columbia Springs’ building windows

Silent auction closes at 5:00 PM on September 10th.

View the lamps here!
