Free Sunday?

Do you have broken items at home – clothes, small appliances, toys, electronics?

Read on.

We are looking for all your broken things. We want to stop you from throwing them out and help you repair them for free.

On Sunday we will be holding a Repair Café. A grassroots event to stop things from going to landfill and repairing them.

Broadsheet readers must have broken things lying around that they have put off for years repairing. We want to help you this Sunday.

Repair Cafe, TOG, Unit 1B Motor City, Kylemore Road, Dublin 12 between 11am–4 pm.

Claire Downey, from Repair Café, writes:

“The international movement that is Repair Café hits the streets of Dublin tomorrow at the Chocolate Factory, King’s Inn Street, between 12pm and 3pm. From broken plates to cracked iPhones, if you’ve got something broken, we’ve got the people who know how to fix it.”

“The movement to repair household items, instead of discarding or recycling them, began in 2009 in the Netherlands and has grown by an order of magnitude since, with cafés operating throughout Europe and the United States.”

“The event in the Chocolate Factory tomorrow is just the first of at least 15 planned over the next few months as the movement builds across the country, with the next on December 7th in Clontarf.”
