Repair instead of throwing away: Repair café in Wertheim on June 30th!

instead of throwing away-this is the motto of the Repair Café, which takes place once a month in the Wertheim city library. On Monday, June 30th, interested hobbyists have the opportunity to repair their defective devices from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The repairs are free of charge and registration is not required. Voluntary experts are ready to assist and advise. The principle is simple: you bring your broken device with you and together you can see how you can get it up. This reports press-service .

The offer ranges from record players to toaster to smartphones, tablets and bicycle repairs. Even small sewing work is possible. If you still need the right spare part, you can bring this to the next appointment and create it yourself. However, microwaves are excluded from the repair service - only certified electronics operations may work here. The Repair-Café is an initiative that was created in cooperation with the Nature Conservation Association, the Senior Advisory Board and welcome to Wertheim.

a meeting point for young and old

The focus is not just on repairs. The aim of the Repair café is to show visitors how they can fix smaller defects themselves and thus also extend the lifespan of their devices. The atmosphere is relaxed and jointly - here you meet like -minded people who come together with a common interest to repair. Cake donations from the participants are always expected to contribute to the cozy mood.

The Repair Café will take place on further dates this year: On July 28, August 25, September 29, October 27 and November 24, everyone who wants to put something unused in the closet can count on the help of the experts. Wertheim.de emphasizes that no registration is necessary and you should plan waiting times because the demand is high.

Repair café as a global movement

The Repair Café in Wertheim is part of a larger movement that spreads throughout Europe. The Repair café supports local groups in building such initiatives. For a unique, voluntary contribution of 49 euros, there is a digital start package that includes everything necessary for the start - from the detailed manual to advertising materials. The initiative not only creates a platform for repair, but also contributes to waste prevention and resource awareness.

whether in the repair café or at home-the idea is clear: If we create a hand ourselves, we can not only save money, but also make an important contribution to sustainability. So, go to the workbenches and bring your broken treasures!
