FreeFlattened cardboard goes in the recycling cart.
Who qualifies: Single-family homes with Republic Services residential collection in Henderson. Apartments use their property's dumpster service.
How to schedule: No appointment. Bulk items are collected on a scheduled bulk day every other week; look up your address at republicservices.com or call 702-735-5151. Freon appliances need a separate scheduled appliance pickup through Republic, which may carry a fee. Henderson residents with a Republic account can also self-haul to the Henderson Transfer Station.

Set-out: At the curb by 6 a.m. on your bulk week collection day, separate from carts, not on private property.

Henderson, Nevada (Las Vegas metro, #55 nationally) is served by Republic Services of Southern Nevada under franchise agreement, the same provider serving Las Vegas and North Las Vegas. Republic serves over 320,000 Henderson residents across Green Valley, Anthem, Lake Las Vegas, Cadence, Inspirada, MacDonald Ranch, and historic Henderson. Bulk waste is collected bi-weekly (every other week) on the same day as your regular trash and recycling, with strict prep rules: furniture with fabric must be wrapped in plastic, mattresses and box springs must be wrapped in plastic for sanitation, and only one major appliance per service day. Refrigerators and freezers require professional refrigerant removal with certification tag. Solid waste collection is mandatory under Henderson Municipal Code 5.17.220. The Henderson Transfer Station at 560 Cape Horn Drive is open 7 days/week 7 AM-3 PM. This guide covers every disposal option for City of Henderson residents.

Why moving boxes and cardboard are different from ordinary bulk. Volume is the only problem. Cardboard is clean, dry, and valuable to recyclers, but it is bulky until flattened and a stack of 100 boxes is a small room. Most curbside programs accept flattened cardboard bundled next to the cart, within size limits (often 2 by 3 feet, tied), and reject boxes that are not broken down.
Three mistakes that get moving boxes and cardboard left at the curb:
Paid options are rarely needed for cardboard alone, but a move-out cleanout that includes boxes, packing material, and leftover items is a common hauler job.
Junk removal pickup for a whole move-out
$100 to $400When boxes are mixed with furniture, packing material, and leftover items, a hauler clears it in one trip and recycles the cardboard.
Flatten what you can first to reduce the volume and the price.
LoadUp paid moving box pickup
$80+For Henderson households needing in-home pickup, items the city won’t accept (unwrapped fabric furniture, non-tagged refrigerators, hazmat), or service when crew labor is needed (heavy items, multiple-piece sets), LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Las Vegas metro for upfront-priced pickup.
What’s included: Loading, hauling, and licensed disposal of your moving box. No prep needed beyond pointing out what goes.
Pricing: Starts around $80 for a single item; full-truck pickups range from $300 to $600 depending on volume.
If you can pay for a pickup, your booking helps fund free pickups for someone else. Every paid LoadUp customer can opt in to round up at checkout, and 100% of round-ups go directly to Freemoval’s subsidized jobs.

How much does paid moving box removal cost in Henderson?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single moving box pickup in Henderson starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume. For Henderson households needing in-home pickup, items the city won’t accept (unwrapped fabric furniture, non-tagged refrigerators, hazmat), or service when crew labor is needed (heavy items, multiple-piece sets), LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Las Vegas metro for upfront-priced pickup.
How do I recycle a lot of moving boxes?
Flatten every box, bundle to your program’s size limit (often 2 by 3 feet), and tie with twine. Put out a few bundles each collection week, or take the whole flattened stack to a recycling drop-off or a retailer’s cardboard baler in one trip. Check your city’s bundle rules in the directory below.
Can I leave the tape and labels on?
Yes. Recycling mills screen out tape and labels. Remove large plastic liners, foam, and packing material.
Where can I give away moving boxes?
Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Nextdoor, Buy Nothing groups, and box exchange listings on moving sites. Post the count and sizes, slit the tape and fold flat without crushing, and takers usually collect within a day.
Is bubble wrap recyclable?
Not curbside. Bubble wrap and air pillows are plastic film accepted at grocery and retail store film drop-off bins, and shipping stores often take clean bubble wrap for reuse.
