Just over two weeks to go! 🗓️✨
Just a friendly heads-up that Aberfeldy Repair Café is back on the 13th June — and we'd love to see you there!

📅 Saturday 13th June, 2–4pm
📍 Aberfeldy Parish Church, Taybridge Road, Aberfeldy
💰 FREE — no booking needed

Now's the time to start gathering those broken items from around the house. That lamp you keep meaning to sort. The chair that's been in the garage. The jacket with the dodgy zip. Bring them all!

🔧 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! We're especially short of electricians, engineers and woodworkers right now. Could you spare a couple of hours per month to help your community? We'd love to hear from you — message us or comment below! See you in June! 👋

Unplug your v**e when it’s fully charged to reduce the risk of fire.

Rechargeable v**es contain batteries which can overheat when left charging for too long - and that means fire risk. Tonight. In your bedroom, your kitchen, or any room in your home.

Service Disruption - Bin Collections

Due to 2 weeks of scheduled road closures on the B898 (Dalguise Road), starting from Monday 25th May our refuse collection vehicle will go there first thing in the morning to carry out bin collections. If you live in this area, please put your bin out the night before to ensure it will be emptied by our crews.

This will affect green bin collections on Monday 25th May and Monday 1st June, and brown bin collections on Tuesday 2nd June.

👋 Our wonderful volunteers come from all walks of life — retired engineers, keen sewers, furniture restorers, electronics enthusiasts, and general all-round fixers who love nothing more than solving a puzzle! Plus the all-important admin and baking team.
They give their time freely, share their skills generously, and have a fantastic time doing it.
Every session is full of laughter, problem-solving, and the immense satisfaction of seeing something work again. 🛠️✨
Want to be part of this brilliant team?

📅 Next session: Saturday 13th June, 2–4pm
📍 Aberfeldy Parish Church, Taybridge Road, Aberfeldy
🔧 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED — especially electricians, engineers and woodworkers! We'd love to add your skills to the mix. Message us to find out more, or just come along on the day and say hello!

It will take you 30 seconds to drop a used v**e at a recycling point.

When v**es get crushed in general waste or mixed recycling, the batteries can spark. That spark becomes a fire. Sometimes in the truck. Sometimes at the depot.

Follow the link in our bio to find your nearest v**e recycling point. It could be at a supermarket, v**e shop or council site.

Being smart about your v**e starts with knowing the facts – and understanding how to keep yourself and others safe.

You should:
✅ Unplug your v**e once it’s fully charged
♻ Recycle it safely at a designated recycle point near you: a supermarket, v**e shop or council site
🚫 Keep it away from extreme heat or freezing cold temperatures

If you don’t, you could cause your v**e to overheat, leak, or even
start a fire

Changing these small habits can make a big difference.
