The Kent Senior Center welcomes those with items in need of repair.

Bring your small household items and clothing that need repair and mending to Repair Time fix-it on Tuesday, Oct. 4, from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Kent Senior Activity Center, 600 E Smith St.

It is free to the public.

The King County EcoConsumer public outreach program sponsors the event, part of a series of free community repair events and groups in King County. The events aim to keep stuff out of the landfill, conserve resources and save you money.

You must be present during the repair. Experienced all-purpose fixers and sewing fixers will try to repair or mend your items, and can also sometimes help you learn how to fix them next time. There are no guarantees an item can be fixed, or that attempting to fix it won’t break it even more.

Please only bring items small enough to be easily carried in by one person. Do not bring any items that are leaking, dangerous, contain gasoline, or have a strong odor.

Please sign up in advance if possible to let us know what you plan to bring, so our fixers can be prepared. For specialized repairs (which many are), please bring any specific parts or materials needed for your repair.

To sign up to attend, or if you have questions, please contact Tom Watson at 206-477-4481.
