Dodge County celebrated the success of its first-ever Fix-It Clinic on July 13, 2025, held at Dodge County Renovation Reuse. Organized in partnership with Reuse Minnesota, the event gave community members the chance to bring in broken or worn household items and work side-by-side with skilled volunteers to diagnose and repair them, all free of charge.

Thanks to the generosity and expertise of our volunteer fixers and menders, participants were able to give new life to a variety of items including a vacuum, rocking chair, bikes, lamp, air purifier, and more. In total, over 211 pounds of waste were kept out of the landfill. 

The event was funded by a Statewide Waste Reduction and Reuse grant from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, with support and guidance from Reuse Minnesota, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing reuse through education, advocacy, and partnership.
