Boulder City provides municipal trash collection for residents through its Public Works department. Weekly pickup follows posted schedules with specific set-out and bin placement requirements in the municipal code.
Unlike most Clark County communities served by Republic Services, Boulder City provides its own municipal trash collection through the city Public Works department. Residential trash pickup is typically weekly on assigned routes, with schedules published on the city website and available by street. Residents must place containers at curbside by 6 am on the scheduled pickup day and remove empty bins from the street by the end of the same day or next morning. Standard service uses city-issued carts; contents must fit inside with the lid closed, and overfilled or overweight carts may not be emptied. Yard waste, construction debris, and household hazardous waste are not accepted in regular trash pickup and must be handled separately through bulk pickup or the Clark County landfill. Holiday schedules shift pickup by one day, with schedules posted on the city website. Because Boulder City is a smaller jurisdiction, response to missed pickups is typically faster than larger metro cities β residents call Public Works directly at (702) 293-9200 to report a missed collection. Commercial trash service is provided under a separate billed contract with the city. The city works toward landfill diversion through recycling and bulk disposal programs described in separate ordinances.
Improper set-out (wrong time, wrong location, wrong container) may result in skipped pickup. Repeat violations can lead to warning notices and, in severe cases, administrative citations from Code Enforcement. Unauthorized dumping or overloading carts can result in additional service fees or fines.
