Boulder City, NV Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Boulder City Public Works operates a bulk item pickup program for residents that allows disposal of oversized household items not suitable for regular weekly carts. Typical accepted items include furniture, mattresses, small appliances (with freon removed from refrigerators and AC units by a licensed technician beforehand), and small amounts of yard waste cleanly bundled or bagged. Residents generally must schedule bulk pickup in advance by contacting Public Works or through the city online portal, with scheduling sometimes available a few weeks out during peak seasons. Limits on quantity apply per pickup, such as a volume or weight cap, and heavy items like pianos or hot tubs require special arrangements. Prohibited bulk items include household hazardous waste (paint, solvents, automotive fluids, pesticides), tires, propane tanks, electronics with certain components, medical waste, and construction or demolition debris which must be taken to a Clark County transfer station or the Apex Regional Landfill. Electronics recycling and household hazardous waste disposal events are held periodically and announced on the city website. Illegal dumping of bulk items in alleys, vacant lots, or desert areas around Boulder City is a serious offense under both city code and Nevada state law.
