Repair Lab Melville offers a fantastic opportunity for families to breathe new life into their broken household items with the help of skilled volunteers. This free drop-in event encourages sustainability and waste reduction by repairing items instead of discarding them.
At Repair Lab, volunteers will assist with repairing a variety of household items including small electrical appliances, textiles, shoes, furniture, bicycles, and more. While not all items may be repairable, volunteers will provide advice and do their best using the tools and skills available. The event also features a Buy Nothing Market where you can drop off or take away items for free, promoting community sharing and reuse.
This event runs multiple times throughout the year on Saturdays from 09:30 to 12:00. It operates on a first come, first serve basis with no need to book. Please note that only one item can be repaired per person at a time, and you must stay with your volunteer repairer during the repair to learn and chat. Dogs are not permitted at the venue.
Held at the City of Melville EcoHub located at 555 Leach Highway, Winthrop WA 6150, the venue is accessible and welcoming. The EcoHub is a community-focused environmental education centre, making it a perfect setting for this sustainable repair initiative.
Some items may be beyond the volunteers’ skillset, and successful repair cannot be guaranteed. The event encourages community engagement and learning repair skills. Please take back any unclaimed items from the Buy Nothing Market when you leave to keep the space tidy.
This is a free event with no bookings required. It operates on a first come, first serve basis, making it easy for busy families to drop in and get help with repairs without prior arrangements.
