Summary
Henderson requires its solid waste franchisee to run weekly single-stream curbside recycling for every residential customer, using a dedicated wheeled cart.
Not later than December 31, 2014, franchisee will complete implementation of the single-stream recycling system for all curbside recyclables collection customers within the city. The program will utilize wheeled carts for recycling and solid waste with a collection schedule of once per week for solid waste and once per week for recycling on regularly scheduled solid waste collection days and every other week for collection of bulky items on regularly scheduled solid waste collection days.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 59 Update 3).
Full Breakdown
The city's franchise ordinance mandated full rollout of single-stream recycling by December 31, 2014. Every curbside residential customer gets a wheeled recycling cart picked up once a week on the same schedule as trash day, plus every-other-week bulky item pickup. Recyclables can go in mixed (single-stream) rather than sorted by material.
Violations & Fines
This section sets a service standard for the franchisee, not a resident penalty; residents who skip recycling face no fine under this chapter, though improper container use can trigger franchisee container or overflow charges elsewhere in Chapter 5.17.
