Summary
Unincorporated Clark County residents get franchised bulky-item collection every other week, with weight and size limits on what can go curbside between visits.
(a) For any resident that receives single-stream recycling collection service, franchisee shall provide a separate collection service for bulky items. On the days such bulky item collection service is provided, a residential customer may put such items in a container other than a wheeled cart if the container has capacity of less than thirty-six gallons and weighs no more than fifty pounds (contents included). (c) Such bulky item collection shall not be more frequently than every other week and may include an on-demand option if provided by franchisee and agreed to by county.

Full Breakdown
Clark County Code Section 9.04.145 requires the county's solid-waste franchisee to run a separate bulky-item collection service for residents with single-stream recycling. Small items under 36 gallons and 50 pounds can go in any container on collection day; heavier appliances go next to the wheeled carts at curbside. Bulky pickup runs no more frequently than every other week, and multifamily complexes can request on-call service for a fee under Table 9.04.200B. This covers unincorporated areas including Paradise, Winchester, Enterprise, Spring Valley and Sunrise Manor (and the Las Vegas Strip resorts sitting in those townships), not the incorporated cities of Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City or Mesquite, which run their own trash contracts.
Violations & Fines
Items set out heavier than fifty pounds without qualifying as a two-person-crew appliance, or set out more often than the biweekly schedule allows, can be left uncollected; unauthorized dumping or overflow is separately enforced under Section 9.04.205's overflow charges.
