Current Events

• Keep Henrico Beautiful recently promoted curbside recycling at “Bark in the Park” and “Glen Allen Day”. Did you know that you don’t have to limit your recycling to two green curbside bins? You can use additional containers that you may already have in your home. Find out more at the CVWMA website: www.cvwma.com/recycling_programs/curbside_recycling/how.wbp
