Henrico County Dump — Public Use Area Hours & the $5 Fee
Henrico County runs two drop-off sites it calls Public Use Areas: Springfield Road in the West End and Charles City Road in the East End. Both are open 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week, and household trash costs $5 a trip. Recycling and yard waste are free.
They're strictly residential: bring a valid driver's license with a Henrico County address. Waste from rental properties, vacant lots and businesses counts as commercial and isn't accepted. The sites also don't open when the County closes for bad weather.
