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.
Under Henrico County Code Ch. 17, Art. III, the county manager prescribes refuse-collection rules and service areas (§ 17-56), and property adjacent to a service area may obtain county collection if resources allow (§ 17-57). Section 17-58 governs charges: the county provides a supercan (about 95-gallon volume) to each single-family residential unit on service; additional supercans cost a one-time $65.00 each, and residents may substitute a privately purchased 95-gallon wheeled cart. The bimonthly charge is $36.00 per single-family residential unit regardless of the number of cans. Supercans remain county property. Not every Henrico address is on county collection; some neighborhoods use private subscription haulers. Verify your service at henrico.us or (804) 727-8770 (Public Utilities).
Refuse-service bills are due within 30 days; a $1.00 late charge applies, and § 17-60 lets the county discontinue refuse service and disconnect water after a 15-day delinquency notice (unless the health officer objects), with a $35 water-reconnect fee.
