What Do With Items We Can't Accept!

We understand that when you are cleaning and organizing your home and office you just want to get the job done!

We appreciate that you take the time to think of helping the participating charities achieve their goals by considering donating those items you no longer want to keep.

We also appreciate, very much, your understanding.....that while you may intend to help us by donating items to the participating nonprofits, if you bring us items experience has shown us we can not resell....you are actually costing us money in increased labor and disposal costs! 

Fauquier County has a very active environmental services department. Follow the links below to learn the best ways of disposing of those items we are unable to resell or help you dispose of:
