Canning Repair Lab 2026

What can you bring to the Repair Lab?

Skilled volunteers will help with repairs of:
- clothing
- textiles
- bikes
- furniture
- general household items.

If you have something you’re unsure about, bring it to the next Lab and our handy repairers will have a look.
For safety reasons no high voltage electrical items will be repaired. Only extra-low voltage battery-powered items will be repaired if they are deemed safe to fix by staff on site.

House rules:
- Please show your appreciation and respect for our Repair Volunteer by staying with them for the duration of your repair. Have a chat and learn a thing or two.
- Successful repairs are not guaranteed. Our Repair Volunteer will do their best to help you with their skills, time, and tools for free.
- Repair Volunteers are entitled to refuse to repair items which they deem unrepairable.
- Only one item is repaired at a time, so if you have multiple items, you'll need to join the queue again. This ensures everyone gets to be seen at least once by a Repair Volunteer.
- We are unable to accommodate dogs at this event, please leave them at home.

Recycling hub:
Canning River Eco Education Centre (CREEC) hosts one of the City's recycling hubs. You can recycle household batteries, printer cartridges, small e-waste and household light globes when you attend an event at CREEC.
