Henderson Trash Pickup Schedule

The Henderson trash pickup schedule has one feature that sets it apart from almost every other desert city on this site: green waste is collected weekly, all year round. Most cities in dry climates treat yard debris as seasonal or every-other-week, so Henderson residents get noticeably more flexibility with clippings and trimmings. Here's how the full four-stream schedule works, what it costs, and the strict wrapping rules that catch people out on bulk day.

How often is trash picked up in Henderson?

Republic Services collects for Henderson under a franchise agreement with the city. Trash runs weekly Monday through Friday by zone, and green waste rides along with it every week. Recycling and bulk alternate on an every-other-week rotation, so your busiest curb days are the ones where all four streams line up.

Everything shares the same weekday, so there's only one day of the week to remember - what changes is which carts need to go out alongside the trash.

Find your exact pickup day

Henderson collection is zone-based, so your day comes down to which part of the city you're in. The city runs its own lookup rather than sending you straight to the hauler:

You can also reach Henderson Public Works on 702-267-5900 for schedule questions, or Republic Services directly on 702-735-5151 to arrange carts or ask about a bulk pickup.

Cart placement rules

• Set carts out the night before, or early - summer routes can start around 5:30 a.m.
• Leave clearance between carts for the automated arm
• Keep lids closed so the desert wind doesn't empty them for you
• Don't block carts with parked cars on collection day
• Bring carts back off the street once emptied

Henderson Trash Holiday Schedule

Henderson observes six collection holidays, and the mechanic matters: when a holiday lands on a weekday, collection is pushed back one day for the remainder of that week, so a Friday route ends up running on Saturday.

Right after Christmas, Henderson also runs a seasonal extra: natural Christmas trees are collected curbside from December 26 through January 15 on your regular collection day. Remove all decorations, lights and stands first, and don't bag the tree.

What goes in each cart

Green waste is the cart people most often misuse - landscaping rock, gravel and soil are not accepted, even though they come out of the same yard. Those belong at a transfer station or with a landscaping contractor.

How much does trash service cost in Henderson?

Henderson's franchise rate is $17.31 a month for weekly automated trash and recycling with every-other-week bulky collection - the lowest of the Nevada cities covered on this site.

Franchise rates are reviewed periodically, so treat these as current rather than fixed. If your address is on the Henderson edge of the valley it's worth confirming which city or county contract actually serves you, since the rate and the holiday rules both change with it.

Bulk item pickup & prep rules

Bulk collection is included in your monthly rate and comes every other week on your regular day. Henderson's preparation rules are stricter than most, and crews will leave items that don't comply.

The refrigerant rule is a legal requirement, not a preference - a fridge left out without a certification tag will simply be skipped. Plan ahead, because arranging professional refrigerant removal usually takes a few days.

Apartments & multifamily buildings

The cart schedule and franchise rate above apply to single-family residential service. Apartment and condo complexes in Henderson are typically served by shared bins or compactors on a commercial account held by the property, so frequency is set by the building rather than by a zone calendar. Check with your property manager for your building's arrangements.

Reporting illegal dumping

Nevada Revised Statute 444.630 prohibits dumping solid waste anywhere other than a designated disposal facility. Report illegal dumping in Clark County on 702-759-0600 or through the county's online reporting form.

For a cart that wasn't emptied on your scheduled day, contact Republic Services on 702-735-5151 or Henderson Public Works on 702-267-5900 - a missed pickup is a service issue rather than a dumping report.
