Henrico County provides refuse collection to single-family homes in its service areas, issuing each a ~95-gallon 'supercan.' The bimonthly charge is $36.00 per single-family unit regardless of how many cans you use; extra supercans cost a one-time $65.
Henrico County Code § 17-58(c)
The bimonthly charge for county refuse collection is $36.00 per single-family residential unit, regardless of the number of supercans or privately purchased containers used at the residential unit.
Henrico refuse customers set out the county supercan or a privately purchased 95-gallon, heavy-duty, wheeled cart with a front lifting bar so it works with automated trucks. Waste must stay watertight and covered, and collection noise is barred 12 a.m.–6 a.m.
Henrico County Code § 17-58(b)
Customers may also use a privately purchased container for refuse as long as the container is of 95-gallon capacity, is constructed of heavy-duty plastic, has wheels, and has a lifting bar in the front of the container.
