Twice a year, Rivanna Solid Waste Authority (RSWA) holds Bulky Waste Amnesty Days (visit here to find collection days). Drop-offs are free only to residents of Albemarle County, Charlottesville, and Scottsville, and available to Nelson County residents who obtain a voucher from Nelson County government.

Refurnished

Refurnished is a student-led organization that recovers landfill-bound, gently-used, locally-owned furnishings into the hands of those in need throughout the Charlottesville community. We can provide pick-up and drop-off for any furnishing donated or requested. Donate or request items through our website refurnishedcville.org. Questions? Email refurnishedcville@gmail.com.

 

NOTE: If your mattress is in usable condition, consider donating it to newly (2020) formed UVA-student organization called Refurnished (see above) or selling it at a rummage sale or on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist so that it can live its fullest life. Most charitable organizations, like Goodwill and the Salvation Army, cannot accept mattress donations.
