The Wastebusters Repair Revolution is back this summer!
Our epic volunteer repair heroes are ready to roll up their sleeves and help you love it, mend it, and keep it in use.
Join us in Wānaka on Sunday 15 February for a free, feel-good community day all about fixing, sharing skills, and helping one another. Bring along your broken treasures and get practical help and advice from our brilliant team of volunteer fixers.
Whether it’s a wobbly chair, a bike that’s seen better days, a favourite jacket with a broken zip, or a small household item that’s stopped working, we’ll do our best to give it a second life.
Our volunteers can help with:
Repair Revolution events are always popular, and for good reason. They’re free, welcoming, hands on, and all about keeping good items in use while learning a few repair skills along the way. No bookings needed. Just turn up and see what magic we can make together.
Handy with tools or repairs? We’d love you to join our volunteer superhero crew.
Sign up here.
This is a fun, community powered Sunday where neighbours help neighbours. Everyone is welcome.
This Resourceful Communities event is proudly supported by Queenstown Lakes District Council Zero Waste District Programme.
