On Saturday, May 22, 2025, RecycleMore hosted a free Community Repair Workshop in partnership with the City of El Cerrito and Sustainable Contra Costa. Volunteer repair coaches provided consultation, assessment, and guidance on how to troubleshoot for possible repair of broken and non-functioning household items for residents of West Contra Costa County. From vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, small kitchen appliances, power tools, jewelry, children’s toys, clothing, and lamps-19 Repair Coaches supported a total of 56 community members in providing new life to their damaged items.
For those that attended the event, recycling and organics collection resources and program information was provided at the RecycleMore’s information booth, which included free kitchen food scrap pails, recycled reusable water bottles, and reusable bags.
RecycleMore staff Reka Abraham, Rachel Dice, and Webster Nguyen attended along with City of El Cerrito staff, Christina Leard, and Sustainable Contra Costa staff, Laura Werhley and Laurine Grere Osborne.
RecycleMore would like to thank all the volunteer coaches who donated their time and expertise, all attendees who came out, those who stopped by to visit repair coaches, City of El Cerrito, and Sustainable Contra Costa staff for a successful event. Events like these help the community reuse items and keep them out of the landfill, and RecycleMore looks forward to hosting more in the future!
