A Repair Café is a free meeting place where people come together to repair various items. These gatherings provide tools, materials, and expert volunteers to help with repairs on clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, toys, and more. It’s a great way to extend the lifespan of objects and reduce waste. The general procedure is to come in at a certain day of the week and let some nice volunteer technician take a look at your defective product. If he can fix it you take your product back home. If he cannot fix it, or it is too expensive, you also take your product home.
