Drop by the Repair Cafe or become a volunteer!
The concept of a "Repair Cafe" checks off two of the most important Rs in Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Where possible, it is always better to reduce and reuse items first, as recycling isn't always perfect (check out this neat video for more information on the prioritization of the 3R's). Repair Cafes are also a fun way to learn new skills, meet new people, and save some money!
