All solid waste shall be placed in a container; provided, however, that in a district classified as a residential district under the zoning regulations of the city, tree trimmings, palm fronds, scrap lumber and other such solid waste may be bundled in accordance with subsection (B) of this section if securely tied and placed at curbside on a scheduled bulky item collection day in accordance with subsection 5.17.110(A). ... Items bundled pursuant to this section shall not exceed six feet in length nor weigh more than 50 pounds.

Full Breakdown
Henderson Municipal Code § 5.17.130 exempts residential yard debris from the container-only rule: tree trimmings, palm fronds, scrap lumber and similar solid waste can be bundled, securely tied, and set at curbside instead of placed in a cart, but only in zoning districts classified residential, and only on a scheduled bulky-item collection day, which the franchisee runs every other week under § 5.17.110(A). Bundles are capped at six feet long and 50 pounds; anything larger has to go through container or bulky-item pickup instead. Curbside placement rules under § 5.17.140 still apply, no earlier than 2 p.m. the day before collection, removed by midnight of collection day.
Violations & Fines
Waste set out in violation of the container and bundling rules is subject to Henderson's solid waste ordinances; oversized bundles are simply left uncollected until repackaged, and accumulating debris can trigger enforcement under § 5.17.040.
