What permits do I need to haul dumpsters in Nevada?
Nevada splits solid waste regulation across three authorities. NDEP covers areas outside Clark and Washoe Counties. The Southern Nevada Health District covers Clark County and Las Vegas. The Washoe County Health District covers Reno.[1] Clark County Code §9.04.070 bars non-franchisees from collecting solid waste in unincorporated Clark County.[2]
Warning
Clark County uses an exclusive franchise system. Without franchise authority, you may not legally collect waste there. Research this fully before you enter the Las Vegas market.
