Clark County requires carts to be set out with clearance for automated pickup: at least 5 feet from obstructions and 3 feet of separation between carts. Overflowing or improperly stored bins can trigger a nuisance complaint under CCC 9.24.
For automated curbside collection, the county's Solid Waste and Recycling Division directs residents to place carts and bins at least five feet from any obstructions, with three feet of separation between each cart, and to avoid low-hanging branches or nearby objects. Between collection days, carts should be stored out of public view where practical; accumulations of uncontained trash visible from adjacent property fall under the CCC 9.24.010 nuisance rules. Specific set-out and storage timing is set by your WUTC-certificated hauler's service standards.
Improperly stored or overflowing trash visible from adjacent property is abated as a nuisance under CCC 9.24; hauler service issues are handled by the collection company.
