The Fairfax County Solid Waste Management Program will host three free events for Fairfax County residents to dispose of and recycle old and unwanted materials during the weekend of March 26 and 27:
Saturday, March 26 – Document Shredding/Recycling: 8am - Noon, Oakton Library, 10304 Lynnhaven Place, Oakton. Residents may shred up to five boxes of personal documents per household at no charge. Please remove all paper from binders and remove binder clips, plastic page covers and binding. Information stored on film or computer disks will not be accepted – paper documents only. All documents will be securely shredded on-site by a private contractor and the shredded material will be taken to a local recycling facility.
This event is not for medical service providers – it does not fulfill Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, requirements for document destruction.
Saturday, March 26 – Household Hazardous Waste Disposal: 9am - 2pm., South County Government Center, 8350 Richmond Highway, Alexandria. County residents can dispose of materials such as automotive fluids, aerosol sprays, fertilizers, pesticides, items containing mercury and more.
