Showing ordinances that apply to Nelson, NV
Nelson is an unincorporated community (population 22) in Clark County, Nevada. Because Nelson is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Clark County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The bulk item disposal rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Republic Services offers bulk disposal pickup to unincorporated Clark County residents, typically with limits on item count and size per event. Items like furniture, mattresses, appliances, and yard debris are eligible; hazardous waste, tires, and construction debris require special facilities.
Bulk waste disposal in unincorporated Clark County is handled through Republic Services, the franchised hauler. Most residential accounts receive scheduled bulk pickup events each year (typically twice per year, or by appointment) that allow residents to set out large items that will not fit in the regular cart. Eligible bulk items generally include: furniture (sofas, chairs, tables), mattresses and box springs, appliances (refrigerators, washers, dryers — with refrigerants removed), bundled yard debris (tied to roughly four-foot lengths), and small household items packaged appropriately. Items must be placed at the curb the night before or morning of the scheduled service and cannot exceed weight or size limits per piece. Items not accepted in bulk pickup include: hazardous waste (paint, solvents, pesticides), automotive fluids and oil, tires, batteries, electronics (e-waste), large construction debris, and contaminated materials. These items must be taken to designated facilities — the Republic Services Transfer Station in Henderson and Cheyenne accepts household hazardous waste events periodically, and the Apex Regional Landfill accepts construction debris for a fee. Illegal dumping of bulk items on public or vacant property is prosecutable under Nevada NRS 444.630 and Clark County Title 11, with fines and potential criminal liability. The desert climate and large vacant desert parcels in unincorporated Clark County make illegal dumping an ongoing enforcement concern.
Illegal dumping of bulk items can be cited under NRS 444.630 and Clark County Title 11 with fines up to several thousand dollars and possible criminal prosecution. Setting out bulk items outside the scheduled pickup window may result in non-collection and a Code Enforcement complaint.
