available online   Online

The Community Cleanup Program has played a critical role in maintaining healthy and vibrant neighborhoods for nearly 30 years.

The program offers qualifying older neighborhoods a day of free curbside pickup of bulky waste, including mattresses, appliances, electronics, and small amounts of yard debris.

Henrico County does not publicize specific clean-up dates and locations in advance.  Residents of the selected areas will be notified through brochures mailed directly to their homes two weeks in advance of the event.  

Community Revitalization, in conjunction with the Department of Public Utilities, has implemented the following program guidelines:

    • Neighborhood Eligibility: Neighborhoods have been selected based on criteria that consider the age of homes and residents, participation in the county’s Real Estate Advantage Program (REAP), higher than average code violations, and other qualifying factors. 
    • Scheduling: There are 62 qualifying areas across the county, each area will receive one cleanup every three to four years. Cleanups are conducted in the fall and spring of each calendar year.  Approximately 14 to 16 cleanups are completed each year.  
    • Notifications: A brochure will be mailed directly to residents in selected neighborhoods approximately two weeks in advance informing them of their area’s cleanup date. 
    • Placement of Items: Items for disposal may NOT be placed at the curb more than three days before the cleanup date. All items must be at the curb NO later than 7 am on cleanup day.

Modifications to this program have been made to ensure its sustainability. Residents are asked to be aware of what items can and cannot be placed at the curb for disposal to ensure a successful cleanup day.
