Kitsap Fix-it Fair - Poulsbo

Description

Kitsap County Solid Waste, in partnership with Kitsap Regional Library, is hosting a Fix-it Fair at the Poulsbo Kitsap Regional Library branch. Join us for this free community gathering in which people with repair skills share their time and skills to fix their neighbor’s belongings. 

What to bring

Kitsap residents are welcome to bring up to two items per event. Common items include clothing, textiles, small home appliances, lamps, vacuums, bicycles (minor repairs), and small electronics. You must be able to carry your items in and out – no oversized items. Each event will vary on what skills are available to repair your items. We'll update our Kitsap Fix-it Fairs event webpage with event specific information.

Volunteer fixers will do their best to attempt repairs but there are no guarantees for a repair. Some items are more difficult to repair, can take longer than we have time for at the event, or even break more during a repair attempt.

What not to bring

• Large appliances
• Appliances with refrigerants
• Items that are leaking fluids
• Items having noxious or excessive odors
• Microwaves
• Items filled with oil or gas
• Grimy, dirty, or hazardous items

What to expect at a Fix-it Fair
Before visiting our Fix-it Fairs, please:

• Clean your items
• Bring any instructions or manuals that you might have
• Purchase and bring your repair part. We’ll have some small items available; however, if you require a special part, we’ll request you purchase it ahead of time.

At the event, all participants must:

• Check in to the event at the welcome table
• Participants must check-in 30 minutes prior to the end time of the event. Participants that show up after the 30-minute cut-off will be turned away and asked to attend a future event.
