Using Translation

The County of San Mateo has added a translation feature developed by Google Translate to assist web visitors in understanding information on this website in a variety of foreign languages. Please be aware that Google Translate, a free third party service which the County does not control, provides automated computer translations that may not give you an exact translation. The County cannot guarantee the accuracy of translations through Google Translate so translations should not be considered exact and only used as a rough guide.

Join the Sustainability Department’s Sustainability Academy in our inaugural Fixit Clinic! Fixit Clinics are community-based educational workshops where neighbors, friends, and families work collectively to learn how to repair their broken items.

Bring your broken electronics, appliances, computers, toys, sewing machines, bicycles, fabric items, etc. for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. We’ll provide 1) workspace 2) specialty tools and 3) volunteer Fixit Coaches to consult with you on the disassembly and troubleshooting of your items.

Whether you fix it or not, you’ll learn more about how it was manufactured and how it worked. You’ll be able to share this information and new-found confidence with your friends, colleagues, and community at large. Maybe you’ll be inspired to become a Fixit Coach yourself!

This event is a partnership between Fixit Clinic and the County of San Mateo’s Sustainability Department.

The Sustainability Academy is a County of San Mateo Program that is available to community members who live, work, and go to school in San Mateo County.
