Fixers Needed
Tinkerers, Makers, Jacks and Masters needed for Prince William Fix-it Fair
Keep Prince William Beautiful (KPWB) and Prince William County Solid Waste Division are exploring the possibility of hosting a Fix It Fair this spring. Fix-It events provide members the community the opportunity to bring salvageable items for repair and subsequent reuse. This type of service event has been very popular in other communities, so KPWB would like to try it out in Prince William County.
"The Solid Waste Division is happy to partner with KPWB on this new project," said Solid Waste Division Chief Tom Smith. "A Fix It Fair provides a convenient way for people to make their "it’s in good shape, except" items useable again and this reduces wastes and promotes reuse," he explained. Along with recycling, reduce and reuse practices help conserve landfill space and enhance the quality of our environment.
You don’t have to be a fixer like Olivia Pope, but if you’re a "fixer" of things like jewelry, clothing, small furniture and appliances, umbrellas, glasses, ceramics and other portable items your talents are needed. If you would like to help for several hours at this first fix-it community event, please send an email to PWCRecycles@pwcgov.org with your name, phone and fix-it specialties.
