Community Share Fair

The 2008 Community Share Fair was a huge success. Over 500 Clark County residents attended and dropped off over 20,000 pounds of reusable and recyclable items! However, due to construction at the Share Fair collection site and budget constraints, the Community Share Fair was not held in 2009.  Although the intent was for the Share Fair to return in 2010, changes at the collection site prevent using it for future events; and, after reviewing other potential sites it was decided to forgo future Community Share Fair events.

share fairCommunity Share Fair events had been held each year since 2005; the Fair offered a way for Clark County residents to clean out their closets, donate to a variety of charities and receive a tax deductible receipt. County residents continue to throw away an estimated 5,000 tons (or 10 million pounds) of reusable products each year; including clothing, toys, utensils and dishes, pictures, books, and furniture. 

Because community needs are not limited to just one day-a-year, please continue to donate usable items to local non-profits.  You can visit Recycling A-Z to obtain a list of reuse, recycling and safe disposal options which are provided by non-profit organizations, government agencies, businesses and other regional agencies. This list does not include all the nonprofits serving Clark County; please contact the Nonprofit Network for more information about Clark County nonprofits.
