Fix-It Clinics Reduce Waste, Build Connections

Fix-It Clinics Reduce Waste, Build Connections

First free clinic scheduled for July 25 in Maplewood

Ramsey County residents with damaged household and electrical items can receive free help repairing them at new monthly Fix-It Clinics. Presented by Ramsey County’s Environmental Health division, Fix-It Clinics reduce waste by saving repairable items that would otherwise be thrown away.

Skilled on-site volunteers provide guided assistance disassembling, troubleshooting and fixing items such as appliances, clothing, fans, electronics and mobile devices. All items must be small enough to carry. The clinics also provide opportunities to build community connections while participants learn new skills.

The first Fix-It Clinic will be held at the Ramsey County Library in Maplewood on Saturday, July 25 from noon to 3 p.m.

Additional upcoming clinics include:

People with experience in soldering, electronics and/or electric repair, sewing, woodworking or general tinkering are strongly encouraged to volunteer.

Please email AskEH@co.ramsey.mn.us or call 651-266-1199 for details and volunteer sign-up.
