The Westwood Environmental Action Committee, the Dover Recycling Committee, Sustainable Medfield, the town of Holliston, the town of Sherborn and the Charles River Repair Coalition will co-sponsor the area’s 8th Repair Café from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Medfield.
Join us to fix that broken bicycle wheel, mend a hole in a sweater or replace the clasp on a necklace. Lamps and clocks are popular items brought in for repair.
Even if our fixers can’t fix it, they can usually direct you where to get a replacement part or where else you could get it fixed. No registration required.
At repair cafés, individuals bring broken items to volunteers who donate their time and tools to fix those items. Repair cafés are part of a grassroots movement aimed at reducing consumption and waste while also fostering community bonding.

Has there been a breakdown of how much of the contaminated recycling comes from commercial vs. residential recycling bins?
