For the Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n If you have household items that need fixing \u2013 don’t trash them. Bring them to the free Repair Time event at the Kent Senior Activity Center, 600 E. Smith St., on Thursday, Feb. 25, from 4 to 8 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n It is open to the public.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The King County EcoConsumer public outreach program is sponsoring the event, with support from the city of Kent.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Skilled “fixers” and other representatives will be on hand to help out.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Please only bring items small enough to be easily carried in by one person. Do not bring any items that are leaking, dangerous, contain gasoline, or have a strong odor.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n You must be present during the repair. Sorry, no guarantee an item can be fixed, or that attempting to fix it won’t break it even more. For items needing product-specific parts, we’ll try to determine what’s needed so you can order it online to finish the repair yourself at home.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The goals of this event are to keep stuff out of the landfill, conserve resources and save people money!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
