Summary
Clark County lets unincorporated-area residents bundle tree trimmings, palm fronds and scrap lumber instead of bagging them, as long as each bundle is tied, weighs no more than fifty pounds and is under six feet, and is set out on the scheduled bulky-items collection day.

Full Breakdown
Clark County Code § 9.04.140 lets unincorporated-county residents skip the trash container for yard debris: tree trimmings, palm fronds, scrap lumber and similar solid waste may be bundled instead, provided each bundle is securely tied and set at curbside on the household's scheduled bulky-items collection day. Section 9.04.140(b) limits every bundle to fifty pounds and six feet in length. Under § 9.04.145, the franchisee's bulky-item collection runs no more often than every other week. Rules apply across unincorporated Clark County, including the Strip-area townships of Paradise and Winchester, since Las Vegas and other incorporated cities run separate collection programs.
Violations & Fines
Violating § 9.04.140's bundling limits, or any Title 9 waste-collection provision, is a civil administrative offense under § 1.14.010: fines run up to $100 for a first offense, $250 for a second, and $500 after that.
