The Wastebusters Repair Revolution is back! And our epic volunteer superheroes are ready to work their magic.

Join us for a free, community day of fixing and connecting. Bring your broken treasures and get expert help and advice from our talented team of volunteer fixers.

Whether it’s a wobbly chair, a bike that’s seen better days, a favourite jacket with a torn zip, or a household appliance on the blink, we’ll do our best to help you give it a second life.

You’ll find volunteers on hand to help with:

Clothing

Bikes

Toys

Small furniture

Small electrical items (e.g. lamps, toasters, radios)

Bric-a-brac and general repairs

It’s a chance to save money, reduce waste, and learn a few repair skills while you’re at it. No bookings required, just turn up with your broken treasures and we’ll see what we can do.

Handy at fixing things? We’d love for you to join our epic team of volunteers. Please sign up here: [https://forms.gle/Pem9gG7LFe1Jx3aw7](https://forms.gle/Pem9gG7LFe1Jx3aw7?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExRWRqeU...)

This is a fun, feel-good community day out. Everyone is welcome.

This Resourceful Communities event is proudly supported by Queenstown Lakes District Council Zero Waste District Programme.

== Hosted by Wastebusters Wanaka ==

Wastebusters’ Repair Revolution is about making repair part of our everyday life.

We live in a society that revolves around consumption. Increasingly we buy more items and throw them away at the slightest sign of defect as people do not know how to repair things or where to find the people who do. Together, we can change that with the Wastebusters’ Repair Revolution!



Among other things, the Repair Revolution aims to:

* Reduce waste by offering an alternative to our ‘throwaway economy’
* Share repair knowledge and skills
* Build community connections
