Public Use Areas (the "dump")
The County operates
two Public Use Areas that are for residential disposal of
trash and recycling. These facilities are open seven days
per week from 7:30 a.m.
until 7:00 p.m. (except on certain holidays).
In eastern Henrico we operate the
Charles City Road Public Use Area located at 2075 Charles
City Road. In the Western Henrico we operate the Springfield
Road Public Use Area located at 10600 Fords Country Lane.
These facilities are available for use by County residents
for disposal of their household trash and recycling. Disposal
fees for trash are $3 per trip. You may also purchase a
book of tickets at a discounted rate. Each ticket is valid
for one trip. At both of these facilities the recycling
centers are available free of charge. Here is more
information on public use areas (the dump).
Recycling
Henrico County supports and promotes recycling as a way to
conserve our natural resources. Through the
Central
Waste Management Authority (CVWMA), the County offers
opportunities to recycle newspapers, mixed paper (junk mail,
magazines), aluminum, cardboard, glass, metal cans and #1
and #2 plastics. Curbside recycling is offered in many areas
of the County and Drop-off recycling centers are located throughout
the County at most fire stations and the public use areas
at the Charles City Road and Springfield Road Landfills. For
additional information about recycling please call the CVWMA
at 340-0900 or Keep Henrico Beautiful at 501-4502. Here is
more recycling information.
