Apartments & Condos

Waste Connections is dedicated to providing quality garbage and recycling services to Clark County’s multifamily community. If your housing has shared garbage and recycling we have resources to help you Recycle Right!

What is considered a multifamily community?

Apartment Complexes, Condominiums, Retirement Homes, RV & Mobile Home Parks, Townhouses, Etc.

How to recycle at your residence

  • Locate your nearest recycling area or ask your property manager to show you. Recycling areas typically have roll carts, recycling dumpsters, or cages that are for collecting recycling. Glass roll carts are typically blue-green, and slightly smaller than mixed recycling carts.
  • Bring recyclables to the community recycling carts or containers. If you use a plastic bag to carry out recycling, never leave the plastic bag in the mixed recycling — you must empty contents first and either reuse or discard the plastic bag in the trash.

Guidelines and Tips

Recycling

  • Flatten cardboard boxes before recycling to save space in the recycling container so your neighbors can recycle too
  • Keep mixed recyclables separated from your garbage
  • Empty, clean, and dry recyclables
  • Put recyclables loosely into your recycling cart (no bagged recyclables)

Garbage

The following items should be placed in the garbage instead of recycling:

  • Plastic bags, plastic film, wrappers, plastic packaging
  • To-go containers, soiled paper, single-use items, disposable diapers, sanitary products
  • Block foam food packaging and cups
  • Freezer boxes and microwaveable packaging

Bulky Items

Bulky items like mattresses, furniture, shelves and desks cannot be disposed of in the garbage or recycling. Do not leave bulky items in garbage enclosures. Contact your property manager for disposal options or search the Recycling A-Z Directory.

Household Hazardous Waste

Hazardous waste includes items such as automotive fluids, used oil, medication and sharps. Do not dispose of these items in the garbage or recycling.
All residents can take hazardous waste to hazardous waste facilities at Clark County transfer stations for free drop-off. Find a free disposal location near you using the Recycling A-Z directory.
