We’re giving our Fixit Clinic a seasonal spin on Dec. 6. Residents can bring broken or well-loved household items and work side by side with volunteer coaches to troubleshoot repairs. It’s a hands-on way to keep useful items out of the landfill and learn basic repair skills.
This session also highlights simple ways to reduce holiday waste. Participants can refresh, repair and reuse their favorite things while picking up practical ideas for hosting and gifting.

Along with the standard repair activities, the December clinic includes:
- Furoshiki gift wrapping, a traditional Japanese method of wrapping with fabric. It’s reusable, easy to learn and reduces paper waste. (If you can’t make it, you can follow along in this quick how-to video.)
- Upcycled book page wreath craft
- Recycle broken or unusable holiday light strands with Republic Services
