Clondalkin repair cafés will champion sustainable living this September
South Dublin County Council will host a two-day circular economy initiative at ACE Enterprise Park later this month. Residents will have the opportunity to mend household electronics and exchange pre-loved items to reduce waste.
South Dublin County Council will proudly support The Autumn Reset, an inspiring free circular economy initiative designed to foster sustainability and community resilience. Running across two dynamic days on the 17th and 18th of September 2026 at ACE Enterprise Park in Clondalkin, the programme aims to transform how locals view consumption and waste through hands-on participation.
The opening day on Thursday 17th September will feature expert-led electrical repairs in collaboration with the skilled volunteer mechanics from TOG Hackerspace. Residents will be encouraged to bring along faulty items such as small household appliances, lamps, electronic toys, kitchen gadgets, and handheld devices to give them a renewed lease of life.
Friday 18th September will shift the focus towards textile and resource circulation, inviting attendees to give pre-loved clothing, plants, and books a second chance. Participants can discover unique new-to-them treasures while championing eco-friendly habits, with further information available on the official website.
