Do you have a lamp, small appliance, textile, or bike in need of repair?
Bring it to the Repair Fair!
Volunteers and specialized repair professionals will be on-hand to repair* your items. We ask that you stay with your item while it's being fixed, so you can learn tips for future maintenance, how to shop for repairable goods, and even how to repair things yourself!
If you’d like to bring an item to repair, please register the item here . (Pre-registering allows us to prepare for your item!)
This Repair Fair will run in conjunction with Mill Valley’s annual Re-Loved Market.
This event will also feature a Book Swap in partnership with Phoenix Used Bookshop. Please bring books (clean and in good condition only) to share and bring home something new to you!
This is a free public event.
*We cannot guarantee your item(s) will be repaired, depending on the existing damage or breakage, ability of volunteer fixers, and availability of materials for repair. Note: we cannot work on microwaves, repair screens on cell phones/computer devices, or perform any welding/brazing, but we are happy to refer you to professionals who can. In addition, the textile department is not able to perform the following:
Replacing zippers
Repairing shoes, leather, or vinyl materials
Performing alterations (making garments bigger/smaller)
Replacing rivets/grommets
Hemming certain fabrics (stretchy fabric, sleek/luxury fabrics e.g. prom dresses)
If you are in need of garment hemming, we require that you please pin your garment to the desired length before you arrive.
Join Us!
Does fixing things sound like a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon? Or want to help out in other ways? We need you! Sign up here or email volunteer@reusealliance.org if you have any questions.
