Toss it? No way!

The Oak Park Repair Café meets the first Saturday of the month, at the Fox Park field house, in Fox Park, 624 S. Oak Park Ave.

Repair coaches will be available to help you fix anything from small appliances to torn clothing.

The Oak Park Repair Café is free and open to the public; since we started in 2013 we’ve kept over 700 items out of the landfill!

We open at 10:00 a.m. and close at 1:30 p.m.

Given the increase in volume we request each guest bring one item for repair.

Thank you, and looking forward to seeing you there!

Pumpkin Smash & Compost Party

Bring your pumpkins to Barrie Park where you can smash your pumpkins down the sled hill at Barrie Park! Help us pick up the pieces and get them into our bin, where they will be turned into compost. This composting process helps to divert organic waste from landfills, reducing methane emissions and returning valuable nutrients to the soil.

It’s a fun way to be a steward for our environment! Free, all ages.
