- FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va - A textile recycling pilot program has been launched in the county. In partnership with a New Jersey-based company called Helpsy, the DPWES Solid Waste Management Program is implementing the pilot to provide residents with a convenient way to recycle unwanted textiles.
- Fairfax County is considering a new waste collection system through Unified Sanitation Districts (USD). Under USD, the county would manage waste hauling contracts directly with collectors, making the process easier for residents in single-family homes. All residential waste collection would be conducted by private collectors.
