Recycling in Henrico: A Local Guide
Henrico County, Virginia — a jurisdiction that wraps around the city of Richmond — has two very different recycling facilities listed in our directory, serving distinct needs. Residents can choose between a county-run drop-off site for everyday recycling and waste, and a certified electronics-recycling company that opens its doors to the public once a month.
Securis, at 8419 Glazebrook Avenue, is a certified data-destruction and IT-recycling company (R2 and NAID certified) that primarily handles hard-drive shredding, degaussing, and secure electronics disposal for businesses and government. On the first Saturday of every month from 10 AM to 2 PM, Securis partners with CVWMA to run a drive-through Computer & Electronics Community Recycling Event open to all Central Virginia residents. Most consumer electronics — cables, keyboards, game systems, monitors — are free; computers with hard drives are $5, LCD TVs $25, and CRT TVs over 27 inches $35 (card payment only). Alkaline batteries, fluorescent bulbs, Freon/mercury items, and hazardous materials are not accepted at this event.
The Henrico Public Use Area on Charles City Road (East End), at 2075 Charles City Road, is a county-operated facility open seven days a week, 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM (closed Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day). It accepts household trash ($5 per trip, includes up to 4 tires), recyclables (glass, metal cans, #1 and #2 plastic bottles, paper, cardboard — all free), yard waste (free), food scraps via the CVWMA composting program, car batteries, propane tanks, mattresses, and household hazardous liquids including used motor oil, antifreeze, old gasoline, and oil-based paints and solvents (all free). Appliances with refrigerant carry a $20 fee. Use is strictly limited to Henrico County residents with a valid Henrico County driver's license.

Frequently Asked Questions — Recycling in Henrico
Can anyone recycle electronics at Securis in Henrico, or is it businesses only?

Securis's regular services (IT recycling, data destruction) are for businesses and government only; there are no confirmed public walk-in hours on other days.
Is the Henrico Public Use Area on Charles City Road open to everyone?
No — access is strictly for Henrico County residents disposing of waste from their primary residence. You must present a valid driver's license with a Henrico County address. Waste from rental properties, vacant lots, or businesses is prohibited under County Code.
What household hazardous materials does the Charles City Road site accept for free?
The Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Program accepts used motor oil, transmission and hydraulic fluid, old gasoline, antifreeze, oil-based paints, varnish, shellac, mineral spirits, and other flammable solvents — all free for Henrico County residents. These must go into the designated tanks at the recycling area, not the household trash containers.
