Local environmental and sustainability charity Planet New Canaan is holding a ‘Fix-It Café’ on Saturday, April 26, at Lapham Community Center. “The idea is to repair, rather than throw away, items that are still usable, but need a bit of care – keeping such items out of landfills, and saving the resources needed to make new ones,” says board member Dawn Kurth. “It’s all part of Reduce, Reuse, Renew and Recycle.”
There will be five repair stations: 1) Lamps and small electrical items, 2) Small furniture, 3) Guitar restringing, 4) Bicycles, and 5) Sewing & clothing. Each repair station has eight available slots of thirty minutes each, starting at 10am.
Anyone seeking ‘fix-it’ help needs to reserve a time slot in advance. Sign-up at www.Planetnewcanaan.org/events
