Back-to-School Fairs Are a Success

County Health thanks all partners and supporters who made these events possible.

Bidding Opportunities! From Cars to Office Furniture,

Check out the County’s Surplus Auction

Did you know the County of Santa Barbara sells surplus items through an online auction? Surplus items are goods the County no longer needs, from used office furniture and electronics to landscaping equipment and cars. Click here to view and engage with listings.

By reusing and recirculating goods whenever possible, the County saves money and reduces waste. When items are no longer needed internally, selling them to the community gives them a second life and keeps valuable resources out of the landfill.
