Repair is one of UCRRA’s 7R’s to Rethinking Waste! Refurbishing broken items extends the useful life of our goods and materials, which can help divert waste sent to landfills. Repair not only fosters a community culture of waste reduction, but it can also stretch your dollar and teach you new skills along the way!
Accessibility: Accessible parking is available and there are no stairs to enter the Saugerties Senior Center.
