#RepairCafé In #EastBrunswickNJ Will Help Keep Items Out Of Landfills
by Sarah Salvadore, January 9, 2025
EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — "The East Brunswick Public #Library and the East Brunswick #Sustainability Task Force are organizing their first-ever Repair Café.
"This community-based initiative will help residents keep still usable items out of landfills by promoting repairs instead of throwing them out.
"Any item in need of repairs can be brought in to be fixed on the spot. Volunteer repairers will be on hand to help.
"Residents can bring clothing/textiles (shirts, pants, sweaters, knitted blankets, etc.) and jewelry (bracelets, necklaces, earrings, etc.).
"Examples of repairs can be an afghan with moth holes, pants with a tear in the knee, broken links on necklaces and bracelets that are coming undone.
"The Repair Café will be held at the library, 2 Jean Walling Civic Center Drive, on Sunday, Jan. 26 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m."

#BurnhamOnSea #RepairCafe returns today to fix household items for free
January 8, 2025
"Burnham-On-Sea Repair Cafe returns today (Wednesday, January 8th) with volunteers on hand to help repair household items.
"The Burnham-On-Sea repair cafe is held every first Wednesday of the month from 10am-1pm at the Waffle Hub in Burnham’s College Street at the Methodist Church.
"The free service launched in 2023 for local residents to help them save money by getting items fixed, avoiding new purchases, and also reducing the number of items that go unnecessarily to landfill.
"Leader Biddy Hammond told Burnham-On-Sea.com: 'Around 500 items have been repaired by our wonderful team of volunteers over the past year.'
"'We can’t repair everything that is brought in, but our team will have a look and make an assessment whether they can help or refer to other specialists.'
"'Around 70% of the things brought in are repaired or fixed, saving people money and avoiding it going to #landfill.'
"'Why throw it away when you can try the Repair Cafe? Clothing, furnishings, small household electricals and other items, including toys and portable items, can be brought along to our willing band of volunteers. There’s no charge, although donations are welcome.'
"The #HighbridgeRepairCafe is held every third Saturday of the month at The Purple Spoon, YMCA, #Highbridge from 10:00am – 1:00pm."

Consumers would really like Microsoft (and Apple) TO SUPPORT OLDER OPERATING SYSTEMS (and we know they can do it -- older government computers still get updates)!
Microsoft would really like you to replace your old Windows 10 PCs this year
The carrot of "new features" and the stick of "no more updates for your old PC."
