As part of Carlsbad’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, Fixit Clinics play a vital role in promoting environmental responsibility within our community. These events are designed to encourage reuse culture and empower residents by providing the skills and support needed to repair broken items instead of discarding them. 

By hosting Fixit Clinics, the City of Carlsbad aims to:

• Reduce waste: Repairing items instead of throwing them away helps minimize landfill waste and conserves valuable resources.
• Promote reuse: Encouraging repair over replacement aligns with Carlsbad’s sustainability goals, contributing to a cleaner and greener community.
• Empower residents: Through hands-on guidance and expertise from volunteers, participants gain practical repair skills and confidence to tackle future fixes.
• Help residents save money: Fixing items you already have means you don't have to buy new ones. Give your favorite things a new life and keep your wallet happy.
