Kitsap County Solid Waste, in partnership with the Silverdale Kitsap Regional Library, is hosting a free Fix-it Fair. Join us for this free community event where skilled volunteers share their time and talents to help repair neighbors’ belongings while promoting reuse, sustainability, and community connection. What to bring Kitsap County residents may bring up to two items per event. Common items include clothing and textiles, small home appliances, lamps, vacuums, and small electronics. Please make sure you can carry your items in and out of the event, as oversized items cannot be accepted. Available repair skills may vary by event, and we’ll post event-specific details on the Kitsap Fix-it Fairs webpage. Volunteer fixers will do their best to repair items, but repairs cannot be guaranteed. Some items may be too complex, may require more time than is available during the event, or could become further damaged during the repair attempt. What not to bring • No large appliances • No appliances with refrigerants • No items that are leaking fluids • No items having noxious or excessive odors • No microwaves • No items filled with oil or gas • No grimy, dirty, or hazardous items Before visiting the event, 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. • Check event specific information! Each event may have different fixing skills available. We’ll do our best to keep our events webpage updated with current information on skills available. 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. • Fill out a waiver holding Kitsap County and volunteers harmless for any potential damage to your property. • Be present during the repair • Checkout at our welcome table, snap a picture of your fixed item, and share!
