The Reuse Alliance
Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
October 18th-20th
Step right up and try your hand at small appliance repair while learning about opportunities to reuse! Even if you're not experienced, our volunteer Repair Coaches will work with you to diagnose, then tackle the problem of one of our donated items. If you've got something small you'd like repaired, you're welcome to bring something for us to take a crack at. If you can carry it in, we will try to fix it! Fixing the item with the Repair Coaches is a great learning opportunity as well so we require you to stick with us while your item is worked on. Some common items we fix include:
Textiles
Lamps
Small appliances
*We cannot guarantee your item(s) will be repaired, depending on the existing damage or breakage, ability of volunteer fixers, and availability of materials for repair.
The Reuse Alliance
Our mission is to shift the cultural mindset away from consuming ever more raw materials, toward one that embraces reuse by advocating for, collaborating with, and supporting enterprises that recirculate materials into our communities.
