For general domestic waste, food scraps, non-recyclables, and bagged refuse. Carts must close completely with lid flat. Bagged waste placed beside carts will not be picked up without pre-authorization.
Single-stream recycling: cardboard, paper, aluminum cans, tin cans, and plastic bottles/jugs (#1-#5). Items must be clean, dry, and loose (never bagged in plastic bags). Glass bottles are accepted in designated jurisdictions.
Couches, mattresses, water heaters, and furniture up to 3 cubic yards. Mattresses must be enclosed in plastic. Tree limbs must be trimmed under 4 feet and bundled.
Republic Services residential contracts restrict curbside bulk collection to 3 cubic yards per scheduled pickup. Here is how to visualize and prepare your pile:
A 3 cubic yard pile is roughly equivalent to the bed of a standard pickup truck loaded to the top of the cab.
Mattresses and box springs must be fully enclosed in plastic mattress disposal bags to protect hauler crews from bedbugs and moisture.
Branches must be cut to 4 feet or shorter and tied securely into bundles weighing under 50 pounds each.
Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners require a certified technician sticker proving Freon coolant was evacuated.

In most residential service areas (including Southern Nevada / Clark County), Republic Services collects bulk items every other week (bi-weekly) on your regular recycling day. You can set out up to 3 cubic yards of accepted large items. Mattresses must be wrapped in plastic.
Republic Services observes Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. When these holidays fall on a weekday, collection routes on or after that day are delayed by one business day (Thursday shifts to Friday, Friday shifts to Saturday). Minor holidays (Memorial Day, Labor Day, 4th of July) operate on regular schedules in most Western regions.
Republic Services containers must be placed curbside by 7:00 AM on your collection day or after 6:00 PM the evening before. Carts must be retrieved by 7:00 PM on collection day to avoid HOA or municipal code violations.
Republic Services residential bulk collection allows up to 3 cubic yards per scheduled pickup (approximately 4 feet high, 4 feet wide, and 6 feet long). Larger volumes require scheduling a dedicated roll-off dumpster or self-hauling to a regional transfer station.
