Use things for longer in Berlin: share, repair, buy second-hand and pass them on the right way.
Many places here are businesses. We are open about the rules we use to include them: How we select
Fix it yourself with help at a repair café or a self-help workshop – or have it repaired by a specialist.
Lending shops, libraries of things, swap days and community fridges.
Second-hand and charity shops, reuse stores, package-free and refill shops, and flea markets.
Drop-off points for used items, clothing banks and places that pass on food.
Recycling centres, hazardous waste collection and take-back in shops – with guidance from official sources.
Repair café sessions in the next seven days, sorted by start time.
No repair café sessions for this week have been published here yet.
