Fixit Clinics
The Roundhouse and Keep Truckee Green have partnered since 2018 to promote sustainability in our community.
We host two Community FixIt Clinics each year together. These events are free for all — the community brings broken household and electronic items for our expert volunteer fixers to help repair rather than replace, saving money and serving to keep waste out of our landfills. Our volunteer FixIt Experts help community members learn new skills while fixing items and reducing waste.
Repair is a sustainable act that encourages reusing resources rather than purchasing new ones. Our events have repaired items like toaster ovens, wooden chairs, lamps, puffy jackets, denim jeans, and more. While not all items are always repairable, participants always leave with valuable repair skills.
Keep Truckee Green is the Town of Truckee’s sustainability, solid waste, and resiliency program. They coordinate the planning and implementation of our Town’s waste reduction and climate change actions. In partnership with our community, they foster culture to proactively address climate change and lead by example.
The Keep Truckee Green team is guided by an interdisciplinary Sustainability Committee, which includes staff from all Town divisions.
