Got a broken lamp, toaster, mixer, bike or other household item that has seen better days? The City of San Diego is holding a free "Fixit Clinic" this Saturday to help folks fix their items and save them from the landfill — free of charge!
From noon to 3 p.m., bring your gadgets to the Mountain View Community Center located at 614 S. Boundary St.
Skilled volunteers will be at the event to help people fix their items.
The Fixit Clinics, which will be held throughout the city in various locations through June 21, support the city's Climate Action Plan and Zero Waste Plans. The city also hopes the clinics will help people learn their own repair skills.
