Abstract
The project investigates the relationship between charitable donation, consumer waste practices around clothes, shoes and appliances, and services of repair in Sydney. We use digital ethnographic tools" interview, site analysis, photography, video" to attend to the tasks of everyday repair and the interplay between discursive and tacit knowledge in practice. We identify opportunities for community learning to mend a declining culture of repair and services that are being overlooked.
