PROJECT ZERO WASTE

WATCH THIS SPACE


What is a Repair Cafe?

A Repair Cafe is a regular free face-to-face meeting of skilled volunteers and local residents to fix broken household items. Visitors bring broken items from home and learn how to fix them with the help of repairers. Some items may be fixed during a single event, others may take multiple visits or a referral to a local speciality repair shop. Repair Cafes also offer a great opportunity to connect with your local community with a cup of tea and a chat!

Starting in Amsterdam in 2009, there are now over 2,500 Repair Cafes around the world. Each Repair Cafe plays an important role in the local circular economy and collectively prevent over 350,000kg of waste going to landfill each year. For more information visit www.repaircafe.org.

This project is delivered in partnership with Circular North, supported by the Tasmanian Government through the Tasmanian Waste and Resource Recovery Board.
