Repair and learn

There’s more to do than just drop off your items!

Bike repairs

Electrical repair assessments

Electrical repair experts from All Appliances will be joining us to provide repair assessments and answer your questions about looking after your household electronics.

Bring along a broken electrical appliance to have it assessed or drop by to ask questions and learn more about repairing and caring for your appliances.

Learn how your items are recycled

Meet some of our recycling partners and find out what happens to your materials after you drop them off.

You can learn about the recycling process, ask questions and discover how your everyday items can be given a second life.

There will be space to park, grab a coffee and get involved!
