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 yard waste are different from ordinary bulk. Bundling rules are where most yard waste gets skipped. Branches typically must be under 4 feet long and 4 to 6 inches in diameter, tied in bundles under 40 to 50 pounds, and limited to a number of bundles per week. Leaves go in paper bags or carts, not plastic, in most programs because the material is composted. Plastic bags of leaves are the most common curbside rejection.
Three mistakes that get yard waste left at the curb:
Paid options cover stumps, large tree removals, and heavy loads of sod and soil.
Stump grinding
$100 to $400 per stumpGrinding a stump in place to below grade is cheaper and easier than removing it. The grindings can be left as mulch or bagged as yard waste where the program allows wood chips.
Mark utilities first. Call 811 before grinding near service lines.
LoadUp paid yard waste pickup

What’s included: Loading, hauling, and licensed disposal of your yard waste. No prep needed beyond pointing out what goes.

How much does paid yard waste removal cost in Henderson?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single yard waste 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 put yard waste out for pickup?
Leaves and clippings in paper lawn bags or the green cart, not plastic. Branches cut to the length limit (usually 4 feet), under the diameter limit (usually 4 to 6 inches), tied in bundles under 40 to 50 pounds. Check your city’s weekly bundle limit and season in the directory below.
Why can’t I use plastic bags?
Because yard waste is composted or ground into mulch, and plastic contaminates the product. Most programs require paper bags or carts; a few accept plastic bags that crews empty and leave behind.
Which states ban yard waste from landfills?
More than 20 states ban some or all yard waste from landfills, including Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Arkansas, and Delaware among others. That is why curbside programs are so common.
What do I do with a tree stump?
Grind it in place ($100 to $400), dig it out and take it to a transfer station as inert material, or list it free for someone who wants firewood or a planter. Most curbside programs exclude stumps and root balls.
