Get help with your broken stuff and learn valuable repair skills at free Fix-It Clinics.

Fix-It Clinics offer free, guided assistance from volunteers with repair skills to disassemble, troubleshoot, and (hopefully) fix small household appliances, clothing, electronics, mobile devices and more.

If you can troubleshoot repairs for broken items, consider volunteering at a Fix-It Clinic. Volunteer fixers who have skills in soldering, electronics repair, electrical repair, sewing, wood working and general tinkering are essential to making the clinics successful.

Please email nancy.lo@hennepin.us or call 612-348-9195 for more details.

Just because it’s broken doesn’t mean it belongs in the trash can! Whether it’s cracked, torn, stained, missing a piece, or just not working properly, broken things can be made good as new with the right skills and tools. WLSSD is partnering with the Duluth Folk School and Duluth Makerspace to host Fix-It Clinics where you can learn how to fix your stuff!

REGISTRATION is required. Please fill out the registration form or call 218-722-3336. Learn more at Fix-it Clinics - Resource Renew. Walk-ins welcome but not guaranteed a time slot.

What to Expect

As a society, we throw away tons of stuff. Literally. Reuse and Repair are simple steps that everyone can take to reduce waste, but often we lack the right tools or knowledge to make those repairs on our own. A collaborative, community FIX-IN is our solution!

We've gathered highly skilled volunteers willing to share their time and talents. Repair parts (as available) and support are provided free of charge, though goodwill donations are always welcome.

This is a free, drop-in style event - though reservations are appreciated, so we have an idea how many fixers to have on hand. Come anytime in the window, and feel free to bring multiple items, though depending on capacity we may not be able to get to everything.

Note: Please specify what item(s) you plan to bring when checking out so that our fixers can best prepare for you!

Why Repair?

As a society, we throw away tons of stuff. Literally. Current estimates put the amount of trash generated by Americans each year at 254 million tons! Reuse and Repair are simple steps that everyone can take to reduce waste; but often we lack the right tools or knowledge to make repairs on our own. A collaborative, Community FIX-IN is our solution! 

Doors open 5:30pm

Program starts 6:30pm

DIY Repair Night is designed to empower cyclists by making bike maintenance approachable and accessible. It also serves as a gathering space for the cycling community to connect, share stories, discuss local routes, and swap tips for riding in Minnesota weather.

Whether stopping in with a quick question or taking on a larger project, all are welcome. Volunteers are encouraged to get involved, and everything is completely free.

Resource Renew is hosting a gently used toy swap just in time for the holiday giving season! Donations of children’s toys, games, and more will be collected in the weeks leading up to the event. Community members are invited to visit the free store at the Duluth Winter Village to browse and take home donated items. No donation is required to participate!

The swap also encourages community members to give new life to tools and materials that may have been gathering dust. By exchanging unwanted items, swaps help keep reusable materials out of landfills, reduce the demand for new products, and inspire a more sustainable approach to reuse. Resource Renew encourages everyone to rethink the difference between something that is no longer needed and something that is truly ready for the landfill—because unwanted items often have plenty of life left in them!

Swaps are community events that encourage reuse, keep usable items out of the waste stream, and help neighbors share resources while building stronger communities. Instructors will share their experiences hosting swap events, including lessons learned and logistical tips. This session is for individuals representing nonprofits, schools, clubs, businesses, and community groups in Hennepin County who are interested in hosting swap events. The class will include a mini swap to practice what is learned. Participants are invited to bring up to 5 home decor items they no longer want.
