Kitsap Fix-it Fair - Port Orchard

Kitsap County Solid Waste, in partnership with Kitsap Regional Library, is hosting a Fix-it Fair at the Port Orchard Kitsap Regional Library branch. Join us for this free community gathering in which people with repair skills share their time and skills to fix their neighbor’s belongings.

Kitsap residents are welcome to bring up to two items per event. Common items include clothing, textiles, small home appliances, lamps, vacuums, bicycles (minor repairs), and small electronics. You must be able to carry your items in and out – no oversized items. Each event will vary on what skills are available to repair your items. We'll update our Kitsap Fix-it Fairs event webpage with event specific information.
Volunteer fixers will do their best to attempt repairs but there are no guarantees for a repair. Some items are more difficult to repair, can take longer than we have time for at the event, or even break more during a repair attempt.

• Appliances with refrigerants
• Items that are leaking fluids
• Items having noxious or excessive odors
• Microwaves
• Items filled with oil or gas
• Grimy, dirty, or hazardous items

• Clean your items
• Bring any instructions or manuals that you might have
• Purchase and bring your repair part. We’ll have some small items available; however, if you require a special part, we’ll request you purchase it ahead of time.
• Check event specific information! Each event may have different fixing skills available. We’ll do our best to keep our events webpage updated with current information on skills available.

At the event, all participants must:

• Check in to the event at the welcome table
• Participants must check-in 30 minutes prior to the end time of the event. Participants that show up after the 30-minute cut-off will be turned away and asked to attend a future event.
• Fill out a waiver holding Kitsap County and volunteers harmless for any potential damage to your property.
• Be present during the repair
• Checkout at our welcome table, snap a picture of your fixed item, and share!
