If they still are usable you could call Amvets and schedule a donation pick up.

Offer it on free cycle. Someone will come pick it up.

I think you need to call to arrange for a special pick-up:

If not, try 1-800-GOT-JUNK.

Does anyone know if Fairfax County will pick up large (8 x 11) area rugs as a part of its special collection service? If not, how do you get rid of these items short of hauling them to the dump (which we can't do because they won't fit in the car)? thx
