– Orlo Vista
– Eatonville
– Holden Heights
– South Apopka/Paradise Heights
– Pine Hills/Mercy Drive
– UCF/Goldenrod
WHAT:
Orange County Environmental Protection Division (EPD) will host a community repair event where volunteer “fixers” will offer free minor repairs of gently used household items; such as electronics, bicycles, jewelry, eyeglasses, watches, clothing and more.
Sustainability, innovation and collaboration are exemplified in this workshop. This event encourages residents to extend the life of their belongings by having them fixed, thereby consuming less and reducing the amount of trash sent to the landfill.
