Whether you're downsizing your home or just decluttering, you probably have a collection of things that are still very usable- just not by you.

We encourage you to check out Albemarle County's Reuse & Recycling Resources list for places where you can bring items to be reused, recycled, or disposed of. We've also put together some suggestions of where you can donate, gift, or sell items that you no longer need. The list includes a brief overview of what items these places will accept as donations, but we encourage you to check their websites for a more thorough list, donation hours, and drop-off locations.
