General Information

Recycling reusable materials preserves natural resources, improves the environment and reduces waste deposited in our landfills. Henrico County encourages its residents and businesses to do their part in preserving the environment. As a member of the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority (CVWMA) we offer this valuable service through our numerous recycling drop-off centers conveniently located throughout the County and also through our curbside recycling.

Drop-off Recycling Centers

The County maintains 12 recycling centers throughout Henrico that allow residents to bring glass bottles and jars, metal cans and foil products, #1 or #2 plastic bottles, newspapers and mixed paper. These centers are located at many of the County's fire stations and both the Charles City Road and Springfield Road Public Use Areas.Click Here for Location Map

If you live in a single family detached home accessible from a public road there is no need to use the drop off recycling sites.  Curbside recycling collection service is available to you at no charge and collections are every other week.  Please call the recycling hotline at 340-0900 for further details.

Reminder:

To conserve space in the mixed paper compartment, please deposit newspapers in the separate Southeastern Recycling boxes where available. In addition, please do not place foam packaging peanuts or other styrofoam material in the boxes. These are not recyclable and tend to cause litter problems at our facilities. These should be placed with your normal trash.

Curbside Recycling

Curbside recycling is available to portions of Henrico County. This service is provided by a private contractor hired by the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority (CVWMA). Please call them at 340-0900 to check if this service is available in your area.

For those who have this service please remember that recycling bins must be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on collection day. There is no need to cover your bins when it rains. Clean out bottles and cans of residues and discard all caps and lids. Sorting the recyclable materials is not required. Glass bottles, metal cans, #1 and #2 plastic containers, newspapers and mixed paper are accepted in the curbside recycling program.
