Do you have a broken item in your home that you know you could fix with the right guidance? Come to Needham\u2019s first Fixit Clinic and a volunteer Repair Coach will work with you through diagnosing and repairing your item!<\/p>\n
By repairing instead of replacing, participants help reduce waste, save money that would otherwise be spent on replacements, and support the Town\u2019s sustainability goals by conserving resources.<\/p>\n
The clinic will be held on Saturday, April 11 from 10 am-2 pm<\/strong> in the Community Room of the Needham Free Public Library.<\/p>\n This event is a collaboration among the Needham Free Public Library<\/strong><\/a>, the Recycling & Solid Waste Division<\/strong><\/a>, and the Sustainability Department.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong> Questions can be emailed to Sustainability Manager Gabby Queenan at gqueenan@needhamma.gov<\/a><\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"fix-it-clinic-on-april-11","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Needham-fix-it-clinic-pic.jpg","id":19876,"extension":"jpg","width":247,"height":246,"filesize":14986,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":4040,"url":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Needham-fix-it-clinic-pic-150x150.jpg"},"featured-blog-medium-small":{"width":230,"height":230,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6885,"url":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Needham-fix-it-clinic-pic-230x230.jpg"},"rpwe-thumbnail":{"width":45,"height":45,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":962,"url":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Needham-fix-it-clinic-pic-45x45.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":4003,"url":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Needham-fix-it-clinic-pic-150x150.jpg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2026-04-11 10:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"11","hour":"10","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2026-04-11 14:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"11","hour":"14","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2026-04-11 14:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"11","hour":"14","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2026-04-11 18:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"11","hour":"18","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/New_York","timezone_abbr":"EDT","cost":"Free","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":["0"]},"website":"","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Home","slug":"home","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":108,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":72,"filter":"raw","id":158,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/158","collection":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":4596,"author":"32","status":"publish","date":"2015-03-17 22:24:16","date_utc":"2015-03-18 02:24:16","modified":"2015-03-23 11:15:40","modified_utc":"2015-03-23 15:15:40","url":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/venue\/needham-public-library-7\/","venue":"Needham Public Library","slug":"needham-public-library-7","address":"1139 Highland Ave","city":"Needham ","zip":"02494","phone":"781-455-7559 ","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Needham Public Library","description":"","url":"","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"1139 Highland Ave","addressLocality":"Needham ","postalCode":"02494"},"telephone":"781-455-7559 ","sameAs":""},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"www.greenneedham.org\/blog?id=4596","global_id_lineage":["www.greenneedham.org\/blog?id=4596"]},"organizer":[{"id":19989,"author":"32","status":"publish","date":"2026-04-08 22:17:33","date_utc":"2026-04-09 02:17:33","modified":"2026-04-08 22:17:33","modified_utc":"2026-04-09 02:17:33","url":"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/organizer\/town-of-needham-sustainability-department-2\/","organizer":"town of Needham Sustainability Department","slug":"town-of-needham-sustainability-department-2","website":"https:\/\/www.needhamma.gov\/5503\/Sustainability","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"town of Needham Sustainability Department","description":"","url":"https:\/\/www.needhamma.gov\/5503\/Sustainability","telephone":"","email":"","sameAs":"https:\/\/www.needhamma.gov\/5503\/Sustainability"},"global_id":"www.greenneedham.org\/blog?id=19989","global_id_lineage":["www.greenneedham.org\/blog?id=19989"]}],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Fix-It Clinic on April 11","description":"<p>Do you have a broken item in your home that you know you could fix with the right guidance?
