  13. TODAY! #PeconicNY - #EnvironmentalExpo and #RepairCafé at Southold Recreation Center

    May 2 @ 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm
    Peconic Recreation Center
    920 Peconic Lane
    Peconic, NY 11958 United States

    "Southold Town is holding an Environmental Expo and Repair Café with the North Fork Environmental Council (#NFEC) on Saturday, May 2 from Noon to 4 p.m. at the town’s Peconic Lane Recreation Center.

    " 'The NFEC has been coordinating repair cafés twice a year, and that will be incorporated into the event. We will also have a #composter sale pickup at the same time,' Ms. Van Eysden told the Town Board at the March 10 work session.

    "At the NFEC’s Repair Cafés, the public can bring their household items — including small appliances, clothing, toys and bicycles to be repaired, and their knives to be sharpened.

    " 'It’s a great community event, with neighbors helping neighbors to make things work again, with the added bonus of keeping those things out of the waste stream,' said Margaret deCruz, the NFEC Repair Café chair.

    "Southold’s Waste Management department has been participating in a discounted compost bin and #RainBarrel sale program for the past year. The sale, open to Southold Town residents (other neighboring towns also have similar programs) is currently underway, online here, and residents can pick up their bins and barrels at the Expo.

    " 'The reduction of food waste from backyard composting is a critical component in solving the regional solid waste crisis currently facing #LongIsland,' said Southold Town Solid Waste Coordinator Nick Krupski.

    "Numerous environmental organizations will also have tables at the event. Compost coaches from the Long Island Organics council will give demonstrations and offer tips on how best to compost at home, and organizations ranging from Group for the East End to the #PeconicBaykeeper, #PeconicEstuary Partnership, #ReWild North Fork and UpSculpt will also offere information and inspiration on how to preserve our local natural resources."

  14. How to Recycle Old Electric Appliances and Devices: Creative Tips

    by Kim, September 2, 2024

    "The junk drawer in the kitchen. The forgotten cupboard in the garage. Or even that cluttered space under the bed. Most of us have some nook or cranny stuffed with old electric appliances and devices. The average UK household is believed to contain at least 20 unused gadgets. We’ve all got them—outdated phones, a blender that no longer blends, or a laptop that’s long since passed its prime. But what should we do with these unwanted electronic items? Simply chucking them into the bin is not the answer. Let’s explore creative and responsible ways to recycle and repurpose old electronics."

    "Share, Care for and Repair Your Items We host a number of swaps to help you share your unused or gently used consumable items. Look for our quarterly plant swap, weekly hardware swap, and weekly art supply swap on our calendar. We do not accept certain items like old paint that need to be disposed of elsewhere. Instead, learn where to recycle them with the #recyclopedia, and next time you buy do so with thought to the end of life of your product. We also do not accept large amounts of quality items; those are better to give to Habitat for Humanity, Goodwill or other local schools and nonprofits. Care for items you want to keep with our repair cafes and repair kits in our library of things.

    What is a Repair Café? A Repair Cafe is a community-based initiative designed to encourage people to repair broken or damaged items rather than discarding them. These events are typically hosted in libraries, community centers, or local spaces and bring together skilled volunteers (repair experts) and community members who need help fixing everyday items. What is the goal of a Repair Cafe? The goal of a Repair Café is to promote sustainability, reduce waste, and foster a sense of community by encouraging people to repair, reuse, and learn new skills.

    We can help with:

    Electronics & computers

    "Share, Care for and Repair Your Items We host a number of swaps to help you share your unused or gently used consumable items. Look for our quarterly plant swap, weekly hardware swap, and weekly art supply swap on our calendar. We do not accept certain items like old paint that need to be disposed of elsewhere. Instead, learn where to recycle them with the #recyclopedia, and next time you buy do so with thought to the end of life of your product. We also do not accept large amounts of quality items; those are better to give to Habitat for Humanity, Goodwill or other local schools and nonprofits. Care for items you want to keep with our repair cafes and repair kits in our library of things.

    The First #RepairCafé in #BosniaAndHerzegovina

    12 March 2026

    "The first Repair Café has opened in #Bosnia and #Herzegovina! Anida and Nerman, the initiators of #RepairCaféMostar, are giving this region a sustainable boost. 'We want to remove the barriers caused by fear and a lack of resources,' they said.

    "Around Christmas last year, we received the happy news that we could welcome Repair Café Mostar: the first Repair Café in the #WesternBalkans. Anida Čmanjčanin and Nerman Turkić, the initiators, enthusiastically report on the grand opening and their intentions for the future.

    Tradition and innovation go hand in hand!

    "Thanks to support from the Federal Ministry of Education and Science and Repair Café International, the initiative kicked off with a festive launch. A workshop marathon attracted over 45 participants, including primary and secondary school pupils, as well as university students. Under the guidance of local experts, they learned various repair skills. These included #BicycleMaintenance, repairing #HouseholdAppliances, #textile #upcycling and #3DPrinting to replace broken plastic parts."
