HARVARD’S FIRST REPAIR CAFE

Repair Cafe Harvard is an HCIC initiative promoting repair as an alternative to tossing things out.  Repairing reduces waste and the demand for new products which conserves precious resources.  By reducing the waste going into landfills, the resulting methane gas is reduced.  Methane is a greenhouse gas that is more potent than CO2.

You are invited to bring a broken item and observe how a volunteer fixer repairs it, potentially even learning how to do the repairs yourself in the future. Our coaches will be on hand to repair small electronics, appliances and furniture, clocks, clothing and more…  Fixers will be available on a first come first served basis. If you have more than one item to repair, you will go back into the queue and if there is time to repair more than one item, we will be happy to do so.

Walk-ins are welcome but it would be helpful if you register in advance here.

We plan to host Repair Cafe’s periodically so please, come and help us make this a great success!
