Bring your broken household items to Repair Lab Melville where skilled volunteers will try to fix small electrical appliances, textiles, shoes, furniture, bicycles, and more. This free drop-in event encourages you to learn repair skills by chatting with volunteers as they work on your items.
You can expect a friendly and supportive environment focused on sustainability and reducing landfill waste. While not all items can be repaired, volunteers will provide advice if a repair is not possible.
Alongside repairs, a Buy Nothing Market operates where you can drop off items or take some away for free. Please remember to take back any unclaimed items when you leave.
- No bookings are required; the event runs on a first come, first served basis.
- Only one item can be repaired at a time per visitor to ensure everyone gets a chance.
- Some items may be beyond the volunteers’ skillset, and repair services may vary from event to event.
- Dogs are not permitted at the event.
The event is held at the City of Melville EcoHub, located at 555 Leach Highway, Winthrop WA 6150. The venue is accessible and well-known in the community, making it easy for families to attend.
Parking and public transport options are available nearby, ensuring convenient access for parents and children alike.
Volunteers work with the time, tools, and skills they have available and cannot guarantee successful repairs. You are encouraged to stay with your volunteer repairer during the repair to learn and engage.
Please bring only one item at a time and be prepared to queue again if you have multiple items.
The event is family-friendly but does not allow dogs to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all attendees.
This is a free event with no bookings required. Arrive early to secure your spot as repairs are done on a first come, first served basis.
Take advantage of this opportunity to save money, learn new skills, and contribute to environmental sustainability by extending the life of your household items.
