Where to take your stuff to get it fixed

Somerset Inland Areas

Your handy directory of repair and reuse

Below are some of the organisations who can, through repair and reuse, help you to love your stuff for longer.

Repair Cafes are usually open once a month. This directory also includes Digital Cafes and shows Drop Off Points for your unwanted smart tech with a list below of what types of smart tech can be donated for reuse.

Any items that are beyond repair can be taken to one of Somerset’s recycling centres, also shown in the directory below.
