If you have a few minutes, please take the quick survey here:

If you're new to Nextdoor and seeing our content for the first time, the survey is about our local government posts, not about Nextdoor in general or your neighborhood's use of Nextdoor.

Not much of a DIY-er?

A new textile recycling pilot program is now available in the county!

In partnership with Helpsy, our public works department has launched this initiative to give residents a convenient way to recycle unwanted textiles. You can bring textiles to the blue collection bins located next to the Recycling Loop at the I-66 Transfer Station in Fairfax. This is the same area where recyclable materials and food scraps for composting can be dropped off.

Items collected through the program are either:
☑️ Reused: Resold through thrift partners in North America and globally or donated to community organizations.
☑️ Recycled: Repurposed into new materials such as insulation, industrial rags, and other useful products.

What Can Be Donated?
The program accepts a wide range of textiles, including:
👕 Clothing – Tops, sweaters, jeans, dresses, outerwear, baby clothes, undergarments, and more.
👟 Footwear – Sneakers, boots, heels, slippers, cleats, and more.
🧢 Accessories – Hats, bags, gloves, scarves, jewelry, and sunglasses.
✅ Linens – Sheets, pillowcases, blankets, comforters, curtains, and table linens.
🧳 Other Items – Stuffed animals, sports uniforms, and luggage.

All dropped-off items must be clean, dry, odor-free, and in a securely closed plastic bag.
