Henrico Board of Supervisors to consider increasing trash disposal rates at June 23 meeting
At its 6 p.m. meeting on Tuesday, the Henrico Board of Supervisors is scheduled to vote on higher waste collection rates for the county’s household refuse disposal areas.
Henrico has two designated areas that accept household waste: Springfield Road Public Use Area in Western Henrico and Charles City Road Public Use Area in Eastern Henrico.
The county would make the following increases to trash disposal fees:
• household waste and up to four tires would increase from $3 to $5;
• two additional tires would increase from $1 to $5;
• household appliances containing chlorofluorocarbon or hydrochlorofluorocarbon (often found in older models of refrigerators or air conditioning units) would increase from $15 to $20.
Henrico also plans to expand its curbside waste collection services, which currently serves almost 55,000 customers, to single-family homes in the far eastern and western parts of the county, adding 20,500 more homes.
The board also is scheduled to vote on passing the county’s Annual Action Plan, which would award about $1.9 million to the Community Development Block Grant program and $1 million to the HOME Investment Partnerships Program – both federal initiatives that support housing options for low-income residents.
The board also is expected to vote on appropriating funds to county departments, including the capital budgets for the county and Henrico Schools, from the approved 2026-2027 Fiscal Plan.
Supervisors also are set to vote on a $2.5-million construction contract for new synthetic turf baseball and softball fields at Henrico High School and a $2.5 -million increase in funding for Glover Park improvements, which include the construction of two new synthetic turf baseball fields.
At their 3:45 work session on Tuesday, supervisors will hear updates about new legislation as well as information from the Autism Society of Central Virginia.
