LONG BEACH FIXIT CLINICS
The City of Long Beach Department of Public Works is partnering up with Algalita and Pedal Movement, the Long Beach Reuses coalition, Long Beach Time Exchange and Jeanine Designs to host Fixit Clinics throughout Long Beach in 2025. These free clinics will offer residents a chance to repair their broken household items and learn valuable skills with the help of skilled Fixit coaches.
WHAT: Fixit Clinics are a nationwide effort to reduce household waste and promote sustainability. In addition to diverting waste from landfills, the clinics create a space for community members to share knowledge and tools, helping them learn repair skills and increase engagement, even if the repair does not succeed.
WHEN: The first Fixit Clinic will be held on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2025, from noon to 3 p.m. at Sports Basement (2100 N. Bellflower Blvd.). Residents are encouraged to bring electronics, bicycles, watches, jewelry, toys, clothes, small appliances and other items small enough to carry into the event. To increase access to the program, additional clinics will be held in other areas of Long Beach, and additional dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
Visit https://longbeach.gov/lbrecycles/news/fix-it-clinics/ for more information. Fixit Clinics operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Pre-registration helps to speed up the check-in process at the event but does not guarantee a spot or priority over walk-ins.
For more information about the program, please contact Erin Rowland, Environmental Services Bureau General Superintendent, at 562.570.2869 or email lbrecycles@longbeach.gov.
