Las Vegas Municipal Code § 9.08.100

in effect

9.08.100 - Containers—Responsibility to provide—Placement. (A) Except as otherwise provided in this Section and in Section 9.08.105, every person owning or managing any premises shall provide one or more containers sufficient for the depositing of all solid waste from the premises. A solid waste franchisee may rent solid waste containers to its customers pursuant to the rates specified in this Chapter, but the responsibility for placement of such rented containers remains with the person owning or managing the premises. (B) Until full implementation of single-stream recycling using wheeled carts, a franchisee shall provide to its residential recyclables collection customers, upon request and at no additional cost to such customers, three twelve-gallon crates for the storage and collection of recyclables. (C) On any single-family or duplex residential premises, it is unlawful to place, keep, store or locate any solid waste or recyclables container (including wheeled carts) within the right-of-way of a street, sidewalk or alley, or within any front yard as defined in the zoning regulations of the City; provided, however, that such containers (including wheeled carts) may be placed within such area, except for traffic lanes, for the purpose of the collection of solid waste and recyclables no earlier than two p.m. on the day prior to the designated collection day, and that such containers (including wheeled carts) must be removed from the right-of-way no later than midnight of the collection day. (D) On any multiple-dwelling, commercial or industrial premises, it is unlawful to place, keep, store or locate any solid waste or recyclables container within the right-of-way of a street, sidewalk or alley. Containers shall be stored within an enclosure if an enclosure was required in connection with development approval or is otherwise provided on the premises. The construction of container enclosures is encouraged, if such construction was not required in accordance with a development approval. To the extent reasonably possible, development plans and approvals concerning the construction of container enclosures shall be coordinated with the solid waste franchisee. (E) A franchisee shall not be required to pick up solid waste or recyclables from any location that the franchisee, subject to the City's approval, determines is not safe to access with its disposal vehicles due to space limitations restricting vehicle access or maneuverability, including maneuvers requiring the unsafe backing up of vehicles. (F) The provisions of this Section may be enforced by the function of the City assigned to code enforcement, as well as the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. (Ord. No. 6572, § 2, 4-5-17)
