Recycling and Waste Reduction District Hosts Fix-It Fair with Library to Promote Sustainability

In Valparaiso, the Recycling and Waste Reduction District of Porter County is starting the new year with a way to get some old items fixed and keep them from being thrown away. The district says its first Fix-It Fair of 2025 is Saturday January 11, 10am-1pm, at the Porter County Public Library Valparaiso Branch. Free repair services can include simple sewing, clocks, glasses, small appliances, and more. Attendees are encouraged to bring their items in need of repair and take advantage of the expertise offered by volunteers. Attendees are asked to register online to ensure volunteers are prepared to make appropriate repairs and this can be done at the district’s website under the “Fix-It Fair” page . The Fix-It Fair is free and open to the public, but registration is required. For more information, visit portercountyrecycling.org .
