• Help reduce the amount of contamination in the curbside recycling stream by learning how to make mindful and informed recycling decisions;

Hello everyone!

PleasantvilleRecycles is planning our next Repair Cafe. Virginia Pancotti (not on Facebook) has been working hard to organize the details of our next Repair Cafe.

WHEN: Saturday, April 20
WHERE: Emanuel Lutheran Church - 197 Manville Road, Pville

We're looking for volunteers to help with the following repair skills:
Lamps
Small Appliances
Tech Devices
Costume Jewelry
Woodworking
General Repairs
Garden Pests
Plant Problems
DIY Glue Station
Mending
Knitting
Sewing Repairs
Minor Bike Repairs

If you can't directly help, maybe you know someone who can help with one of these repairs.

Additionally, we are looking for someone to partner with Virginia to help organize the day. This one is very, very important, and we hope someone can work with Virginia.

Our last Repair Cafe was a huge success, and we hope that the next one will be a springboard to creating a more regular Repair Cafe in Pleasantville. This is a fantastic way to help transform our throw-away economy and reduce how much stuff goes into the waste stream.

Thank you!
