Materials We Collect
Most household trash and garbage can be placed inside your cart. We recommend using trash bags so your cart stays clean and trash does not blow from the can when it is dumped. Place all trash in your cart. Please do not place additional bags or other materials next to the cart. Trash that is not placed inside the cart will not be picked up.
Materials We Do Not Collect
The following are not collected even when placed in the cart: car parts and tires; furniture and other large items; hazardous or flammable materials; propane or other pressurized tanks; car batteries or other lead acid batteries; liquids such as paint, solvents, motor oil or drywall mud; construction waste such as carpeting, lumber, drywall, bricks, concrete or dirt; and ashes that have not been thoroughly cooled and soaked with water.
Where is trash collection service available?
Henrico’s trash collection service is available in most areas. A two-phase expansion will extend service to parts of far western and far eastern Henrico, beginning June 1, 2026.
The service is supported solely by monthly service charges, not tax revenues. It evolved from sanitary districts established beginning in the 1930s to provide water, sewer and trash collection services in then-rural communities. The service areas have expanded over time as population has grown and the county has provided staffing and equipment.
Trash collection service is also available from private companies. Information on vendors can be found online and from other resources. For more information on county services, contact Public Utilities at (804) 501-4275 or [email protected].
When will county trash collection service be available in far western and far eastern Henrico?
Trash collection service is expanding in two phases. Areas in Phase 1 (shown in blue) will be available for service starting June 1, 2026. Areas in Phase 2 (shown in green) will be available for service starting summer 2027. To sign up, use the customer portal when service is available in your area.

Placement of Your Containers
On your trash collection day, please place your containers to the curb by 7:00 a.m. Your cart should be at the curb with the arrows facing the street and the lid closed. Carts must be placed within eight (8) feet of the pavement and not be blocked by cars or other obstructions. They should be at least three (3) feet from mailboxes.
