Many Clark County residents have a new way to recycle! County residents are now using recycling carts for most items they recycle at the curb. Learn more about residential recycling. |
How does the program work?
- Most of your recyclables (paper, metal cans, and plastic bottles and tubs) go in your cart.
- More plastics can be recycled in your cart. Plastic tubs (yogurt & margarine containers), nursery pots, and plastic buckets can all be placed in your cart.
- Glass bottles and jars on the side go in a bin, next to your cart.
- Motor oil and antifreeze in a clear one-gallon screw top jug next to your cart.
- Household Batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, Lithium, Mercury, Ni-Cad) should be in a resealable plastic bag and placed on top of the cart.
- Download the program poster to learn more about what materials go in the cart.

Program Background
The new recycling program is the result of a lengthy research process on a variety of residential recycling options. In 2008, Clark County partnered with Waste Connections to conduct a pilot program to test using carts to potentially replace using the 3-bin recycling system.
