MANTORVILLE, MN – Do you have a knack for fixing, tinkering, or mending items? Dodge County, in partnership with Reuse Minnesota, invites volunteers to participate in upcoming Fix-It Clinics aimed at helping residents repair their items, reduce waste, and share valuable skills within the community.
The Fix-It Clinics will be co-hosted by Dodge County along with four regional partners across Greater Minnesota.
Volunteers with skills in fixing, mending, carpentry, or general event support are encouraged to join and make these clinics a success.
The partners include:
- Chisago County
- Dodge County
- Olmsted County
- Pope/Douglas Solid Waste Management
- Stearns History Museum
The clinics will take place approximately once a quarter, with the possibility of increasing the frequency in the future.

Youth under 18 are welcome to get involved with adult supervision, and adults can submit a form for any interested youth.
This initiative is supported by a Statewide Waste Reduction and Reuse grant from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
