Roxbury Repair Cafe

Here's your chance to get that thing fixed!

Thanks to a host of volunteers, you can sign up to get one of the following things fixed: bicycles, sewing, electronics, lamps, jewelry, appliances, woodworking, watch batteries, and knives sharpened.

Roxbury Library, in partnership with the Lake Hopatcong Foundation and Roxbury Township Recycling, is hosting a Repair Café at the Roxbury Fire Company No. 2 on Saturday, April 18th, from 11am-3pm.  Appointments are highly recommended, though there might be room for walk-ins.

Repair services are free, though a fee for specialized parts may be passed along to the owner of the broken item brought in for repair.

Please bring only items you can carry yourself. We will not have volunteers to assist attendees with transporting their items.

There is a limit of 2 items per household. If you are getting knives sharpened, there is a limit of 3 knives per person.

Please note: Our fixers will not be able to repair computers/laptops which are 5 years or older. Additionally, if you are looking to get your watch battery replaced, please be aware that we will only be able to accommodate analogue watches. No Apple watches or similar devices will be accepted.

What is a Repair Café? A “Repair Café” is a community-based initiative and movement where people can bring broken household items to be fixed by skilled volunteers, with the goal of reducing waste by repairing items instead of throwing them away. It can be a place to learn basic repair skills and foster a sense of community by sharing knowledge and fixing things together.

Our Repair Café will accept items by appointment in the following categories:

Computers, Electronics, Sewing/Mending, Knife Sharpening, Woodworking, Household Appliances, Jewelry, Lamps, Watch Battery Replacement, & Misc.
