Save the planet and your wallet with a handyman on a cargo bike!

Michiel 26 February 2021

 
In its latest commercial, Dutch insurer ASR illustrates nicely how it is often better to repair wood flooring in a sustainable way than to replace it. MrFix does that too: we help Customers to repair and improve their homes & appliances instead of scrapping things. For example, before every paint job we ask if you would like to reuse leftover paint.
 
This way you & we save natural resources (deforestation!), transport (CO2 emissions!) and waste (soil and air pollution!). MrFix works sustainably in many more ways. For example, we explain here that we try to avoid unnecessary inspection visits and always look for an expert for your job who lives near you.
 
An extra advantage of getting a local expert is that he can come by (cargo) bike. This saves both the environment and parking costs! Our home repair hero Richard has been riding his electric cargo bike all over Amsterdam to help MrFix Customers.
 
Richard only rents a van when necessary but prefers to use his cargo bike. First of all because it is environmentally friendly, but also because he can park it anywhere. This saves a lot of time, especially in Central Amsterdam where it is easier to get through the oft-blocked canals, streets and alleys! Richard can carry up to 200 kilos of tools & materials on his cargo bike.
