About Fix-it CLE Workshops Fix-it CLE Workshops are fun, community-based workshops where neighbors, friends, and families work collectively to learn how to repair broken items. These Workshops help people realize the value of their stuff, foster community engagement, reduce material sent to landfills, and serve as a great way for skills to get passed on to a new generation. Fix-it CLE Workshops focus on empowering the residents of Greater Cleveland to keep materials and products in use through learning and repair as a part of a circular economy*. The Workshops will be held bi-monthly at the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District offices (2nd Saturdays) and the Sears think[box] located on Case Western Reserve University’s campus (4th Mondays). Both of these venues provide space in which to hold these workshops and foster an encouraging community. Each workshop may have a theme, but repairs falling outside of the theme are welcome. Organizers ask that all participants sign a Waiver and Photo Release Form. 2nd Saturdays Workshops at the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District will be held on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 9 am-1 pm.
