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."

#RepairEconomy Reinvigorated in Central #NewYork, #Syracuse Institute Leads the Charge

May 30, 2025

SYRACUSE, NEW YORK — "Broken lamps, torn clothes, a coffee machine that just won’t work — items like these are common in most households, and all too commonly wind up in the trash bin. Thanks to cheap replacements and a struggling repair economy, #consumerism —and waste — is at an all-time high. In the wake of #tariffs, #ClimateChange, and rapidly shrinking NYS #landfill capacity, a rising repair movement in Central New York is pushing back against the status quo.

"The Repair Cafe held on Saturday, May 10 embodies a social movement shaped by residents, #activists, and community leaders who want to reduce waste through building strong community networks. The event was facilitated by #RepairCafeCNY, an organization established by the Institute for Sustainability Engagement (#ISE) as an offshoot of the global #RepairCafe network. The group aims to reinvigorate repair in Syracuse and the greater CNY region by serving as a central coordinator for free community repair events in the area.

"Repair Cafes are not a new concept to the area. The last known effort locally was that of the Syracuse Repair Cafe, which was operational for a few years before the pandemic halted operations. With repair energy now reinvigorated, organizers hope for the Syracuse Repair Cafe’s soon return."

Free fixes are back! The #ToolLibrary expands its #DareToRepair Café program in 2025

By Darren Cotton, February 3, 2025

"Have broken stuff? Instead of throwing it out, consider attending one of The Tool Library’s free Dare to #RepairCafés this February or March.

"These events cut waste and build community: At each Dare to Repair, people can bring in broken objects like lamps, vacuums, bicycles, toys, clothing, sewing machines, PCs, laptops, and small electronics to be repaired — free of charge — by volunteer fixers. By following along during repairs, attendees can learn the skills they need to fix things on their own.

"The Tool Library, in partnership with #BuffaloRecycles, will host two Dare to Repair Cafés per month in 2025 — adding weeknight events to existing weekend programming — thanks to new funding from the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute and State Sen. Sean Ryan.

March 2025 dates:

- Saturday, March 1, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Lancaster Municipal Building, 5423 Broadway, Lancaster, 14086

- Thursday, March 13, from 5-7 p.m. at the Delavan-Grider Community Center, 877 E. Delavan Ave., Buffalo, 14215

"Anyone interested in bringing appliances or household items to be repaired is strongly encouraged to fill out the registration form in advance."

#RepairCoaches needed for #RepairCafes in #RedHookNY

Sunday, December 29, 2024

"Repair Café Red Hook is a neighborhood initiative that promotes repair as an alternative to tossing things out. We host a Repair Café about four times a year in the Red Hook Community Center on a Saturday (event open to the public for 3 hours). Community members can bring their broken items to fix them on the spot with the help of voluntary repairers. Repair Café Red Hook could use more handy volunteers in the area. Join us!

"Repair Café Red Hook looking for local residents with different skills who can be present as repair experts during the Repair Café meetings. We are especially looking for people who are handy with:

* clothing / textiles * bicycles
* electrical appliances * wooden objects
* computers (hardware / software)
*jewelry
and more!

"And who enjoy sharing their knowledge with their neighbors. We’ll take as many people interested in repair as are interested in being on our list. You can reach out if you’d like to “apprentice” alongside a more experienced coach, too!

"Want to sign up as a volunteer? Send an email to [email protected] and cc [email protected] with the Subject: Repair Cafe volunteer coach. Tell us what you like to repair, your name and email, and we’ll add you to our Coach list. You’ll get an email each time a cafe is scheduled asking if it works for you to participate.

See you soon at a Repair Café!
