Repair Cafe North Balwyn Australia. Andrew Tynan & Anne Davey

What sentimental items do you have at home that are broken or unused? Instead of tossing them away, consider fixing them! Repair Cafes around the world help prevent waste. Event coordinator Anne Davey and Andrew Tynan founder of North Balwyn Repair Cafe in Melbourne, emphasize the importance of developing problem-solving skills in society and mending broken belongings. Also, patrons of North Balwyn Repair Cafe share experiences. (The concept originated in Amsterdam in 2009, initiated by Martine Postma, and has since promoted sustainability at a local level.)

    I have several pieces of electrical equipment which I wish to dispose of, if possible either for parts, or to be repaired and given away. I am in Camberwell. Are they of use to you, and if so where can I leave them, and when.
