How Henderson handles yard waste

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.

The Henderson rule for yard waste: Branches cut under 6 feet and bundled go out on bulk day; regular trimmings go in the trash cart.

Program basics: Items no longer than 6 feet, in manageable pieces, generally one major appliance per bulk day. At the curb by 6 a.m. on your bulk week collection day, separate from carts, not on private property.

What the city will not take: Refrigerators and anything containing Freon (separate paid appliance pickup), tires, electronics, hazardous waste, construction debris, and items over 6 feet.

How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: Republic Services of Southern Nevada (City of Henderson franchise): bulk service and transfer stations. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.

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.

Prep checklist before pickup day in Henderson

  • Rake leaves and clippings into paper lawn bags or the green cart.
  • Cut branches to your city’s length limit and tie bundles under 40 to 50 pounds.
  • Separate dirt, rocks, sod, and stumps; they go to a transfer station or a free listing, not the curb.
  • Bag diseased plants and invasive weeds as your program directs.
  • Set out on your yard waste day within the weekly bag and bundle limit.

Three mistakes that get yard waste left at the curb:

  • Don't bag leaves in plastic where the program requires paper or carts. It is the most common reason yard waste is skipped.
  • Don't put branches out unbundled or over the length limit. Cut to 4 feet, tie, and keep bundles liftable.
  • Don't mix dirt, rocks, or sod into yard waste. They damage grinders and get the whole pile rejected.

Paid options cover stumps, large tree removals, and heavy loads of sod and soil.

Stump grinding

$100 to $400 per stump

Grinding 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

$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 yard waste. No prep needed beyond pointing out what goes.

Common questions about yard waste removal in Henderson

Does Henderson pick up yard waste for free?

Yes, bundled and under 6 feet, on your bulk day.

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.

Is this Henderson page maintained?

Yes. Freemoval maintains this page as a public resource alongside the full Henderson guide. We update it when programs change rules, fees, or contact methods. Last updated October 2026. If you find outdated information, let us know.
