Solid Waste
The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) administers the solid waste program for all Nevada counties outside of Clark and Washoe. NDEP also oversees those two counties' programs, which are administered locally by the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) and Northern Nevada Public Health (NNPH) respectively.
This section of the website covers permitting, facility information, reporting requirements, waste tires, special waste, statewide planning, and resources for reporting illegal dumping.
