Repair Lab Melville invites families to breathe new life into their broken household items with the help of skilled volunteers. This free drop-in event is perfect for parents looking to teach their children the value of repair and sustainability while having fun.
At Repair Lab Melville, volunteers will assist with repairing small electrical appliances, textiles, shoes, furniture, bicycles, and more. While not all items can be fixed, volunteers will provide advice and do their best to help with the tools and skills available. A Buy Nothing Market will also be running, where you can drop off or take away items for free.
- No bookings are required; the event operates on a first come, first served basis.
- Only one item can be repaired per visit to ensure everyone gets a chance.
- Attendees are encouraged to stay with their volunteer repairer to learn repair skills.
- 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 family-friendly, making it easy for parents and children to attend together. Parking and directions are available on the City of Melville website.
Please note that some items may be beyond the volunteers' expertise, and successful repair cannot be guaranteed. Unclaimed items from the Buy Nothing Market should be taken back by attendees. The event promotes sustainability and waste reduction by encouraging repair over disposal.
This is a free event with no need to book in advance. Just drop in during the scheduled times and bring your broken items for repair assistance.
