Do you have broken or torn items around your house? Bring them to the next Repair Hub pop up. Repair Hub is a nonprofit whose goal is to keep things out of the waste stream. We show you how to fix items and build community through repair. The next Repair Hub pop up will be at the Watauga library on Saturday, February 1, 2020 from 2:00 to 5:00 PM. Bring your broken or torn items to a Repair Hub pop up instead of throwing them away. You will be paired with a qualified volunteer that will help you fix your item. You will go home with a repaired item and a new skill. Watauga Library is located at 140 Queen Street in Boone. Items repaired in February will be: Costume jewelry clasps and restringing Clothing mended (sweaters too) Wooden cutting board and spoon refurbishing Wooden Chair gluing Knife sharpening Lamp and electrical cord repair (bring your own plug, wire and socket if needed) The Repair Hub in December resulted in 122 pounds of material kept out of the landfill. There were 38 participants and 59 items were fixed. The director and founder of Repair Hub is Andy Groothuis. He had a grandfather that could fix most anything and taught Andy the art of repair. This knowledge and a commitment to keep items out of landfills has helped formulate this community based nonprofit. Please direct any questions to Andy at (828) 773-6530 or email repairhuborg@gmail.com.
