Showing ordinances that apply to Cal-Nev-Ari, NV
Cal-Nev-Ari is an unincorporated community (population 144) in Clark County, Nevada. Because Cal-Nev-Ari is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Clark County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The recycling requirements rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Clark County offers single-stream recycling through Republic Services, collected in a separate 95-gallon cart every other week. Recycling is voluntary for residential customers but strongly encouraged. Accepted items include paper, cardboard, plastics #1 and #2, glass, and metal cans.
Recycling service in unincorporated Clark County is provided by Republic Services as part of the residential waste franchise. Residents receive a dedicated 95-gallon blue cart for single-stream recycling collected every other week on the same day as trash pickup. Nevada does not have a statewide mandatory residential recycling mandate, so recycling participation is voluntary for Clark County households, though it is strongly encouraged. Accepted recyclable materials in the Las Vegas Valley single-stream program generally include: paper (newspaper, office paper, junk mail, magazines), cardboard (flattened), plastics marked #1 (PETE) and #2 (HDPE) such as water bottles and detergent jugs, glass bottles and jars (clear, brown, green), and aluminum and steel food and beverage cans. Items NOT accepted include: plastic bags and film, plastic clamshells or #3 through #7 plastics in most cases, styrofoam, needles, batteries, electronics, food waste, yard waste (in recycling), and hazardous materials. Contamination of recycling loads is a significant issue — placing non-recyclables or food-contaminated items in the recycling cart can lead to loads being rejected. Republic Services operates a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in North Las Vegas that sorts collected recyclables. Apartments and multifamily housing recycling access depends on property management contracts. Beverage containers fall under Nevada NRS 444A (solid waste management) but Nevada does not have a bottle bill deposit program.
No direct fine for failing to recycle in unincorporated Clark County, as residential recycling is voluntary. However, contaminated recycling or using the recycling cart for trash can result in non-collection and potential service fees. Illegal dumping of recyclables or trash on vacant lots is separately prosecutable.
