Do you have broken items lying around at home? Don’t toss them – bring them along to the Mernda Repair Café and give them a second life!
This is a FREE community service, helping reduce waste and bring neighbours together through skill-sharing and sustainable practices. Come along, learn a new skill, and help create a more sustainable Mernda. Everyone is welcome!
Our skilled volunteers, aka the Repair Doctors, will be on hand to help with:
NEW: Chainsaw sharpening! Please book under Power Tools. Blunt chainsaws are a hazard! Our new repairer Alby can help you with that!
Note: minimum three items of clothing per booking. If you need a zip replaced please attempt to unstitch it. It will save our repairers a lot of time. Thank you!
Note: If you know your item needs spare parts, please bring them with you such as bike parts, or zips for clothes, plugs for electrical items.
