Henrico County is partnering with the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority and The Recycling Partnership to provide 90,000 county homes with “super can” recycling carts — at no cost to recipients.
The 95-gallon rolling carts will replace smaller, handheld bins currently used at single-family residences in CVWMA’s curbside recycling program. The carts will be delivered over a six-week period beginning May 15.
Each single-family household that is eligible for curbside recycling through CVWMA will receive a cart at no expense. Residents of multifamily communities that participate in the CVWMA program, such as townhouses and condominiums, will continue to use bins.
The $5.7 million cost of the carts is being funded in part by a $1.4 million grant from the nonprofit The Recycling Partnership. Henrico is providing $4.3 million.
