Zero Waste Free Workshops

While workshops are offered at no cost, they are subject to first-come, first-serve availability. Workshop registration will be in person on the day of the event at the Zero Waste booth.

Zero Waste Yukon
Zero Waste Yukon is hosting a clothing swap! Bring clothing you no longer need or wear and swap it out for something new-to-you! The rules are: 1. All clothing donations MUST be freshly washed. 2. You do not need to donate to take clothing. 3. All clothing is free! Leftover clothing will go to Raven ReCentre. Clothing will then either be sorted into our Reuseful Thrift Store, or will be bailed and sent south to Trans-Continental Textile Recycling for recycling.

 

Computers for Schools Yukon
We are Computers for School Yukon! We receive various tech donations from the Government or individuals and refurbish them so that we can give away or sell at a low cost to students/teachers, non-profit organizations and First Nation organizations! For the Community Garage Sale we will be offering consultations and light repairs. We may also accept tech donations at our booth but if it’s a large amount of items we request a scheduled visit to our warehouse to drop those off.

Yukonstruct Repair Cafe
Yukonstruct Have a broken toaster that needs some TLC? Or maybe your favourite pair of jeans need a patch? Bring it over to Yukonstruct’s Repair booth! They’ll be hosting a mini Repair Cafe where volunteers will provide advice and help people repair their own broken items, or those that could use some maintenance and TLC. The volunteers can demonstrate and help troubleshoot and repair small electrical appliances (like toasters, blenders, rice cookers, head phones, radios, etc). And will have a small sewing machine on hand to show how minor fabric repairs or improvements can be made on clothes, boots, etc. In the event you can’t make it to the Indoor Garage Sale, you can come to the full scale “Repair Cafe” which is held on the last Thursday of each month (6-9PM) in the MakeSpace at Northlight Innovation centre (2180 – 2nd Ave).
