The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Allen's residential collection runs through Community Waste Disposal under an exclusive city franchise. Trash is weekly in a 95-gallon cart, recycling is every other week and compost every week on the same day, and loose brush can be scheduled once a month up to three cubic yards. Large items ride a separate monthly bulky collection: each household may put out up to six cubic yards on the same Saturday every month, every item has to weigh under 150 pounds, and household debris has to be boxed inside a container no larger than two feet by two feet by four feet and no heavier than 50 pounds. Furniture, televisions, mattresses and box springs, appliances, bundled carpet and refrigerant appliances with the proper tag are all on the acceptable list, while contractor debris, tires, batteries, propane tanks, car parts and household chemicals are not. Extra trash and bulky loads can also be self-hauled to the Custer Road Transfer Station.
Allen households get one bulky collection each month: up to six cubic yards on the same Saturday every month, with every item under 150 pounds and household debris boxed within a two foot by two foot by four foot container weighing no more than 50 pounds.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the residential franchise service, once a month per household, up to six cubic yards with each item under 150 pounds and containerized household debris within the published box and weight limits. Items outside the bulk category need a special collection arranged with the operator, which carries an additional charge.
When & how
No call is needed for the monthly collection. A Monday trash day gives the first Saturday of the month, Tuesday the second, Wednesday or Thursday the third, and Friday the fourth, and items go out by 7 a.m. on that Saturday.
Get it ready
Keep each item under 150 pounds, box household debris in a container no larger than two feet by two feet by four feet weighing no more than 50 pounds, and leave prohibited material out of the pile: contractor debris, fence materials, tires, batteries, propane tanks, car parts, household chemicals, loose debris and any single item over the weight limit.

Get it ready

Keep the screen intact and inside the weight limit, tape any loose glass if the set is broken, and erase personal data if the device is a smart television before it leaves the house.
Used electronics other than televisions are handled through the City of Allen household hazardous waste and used electronics programme, which the operator page points to rather than publishing its own list.
City cost & eligibility
The operator page publishes no accepted-item list, address or price for the household hazardous waste and used electronics programme; it refers residents to the City of Allen's own page. Confirm the location, the hours, the accepted devices and any charge with the city before the trip.
When & how
Check the City of Allen household hazardous waste and used electronics programme for the drop-off location and hours, and keep computers out of the garbage cart, the recycling cart and the monthly bulky pile until then.
Get it ready
Erase personal data before a computer or phone leaves the house, keep batteries out of the carts, and never put a device in the bulky pile unless it is a television.
Exercise equipment is not named on the acceptable bulk list, so the machine has to be confirmed against the monthly bulky collection or a special collection.
City cost & eligibility
No item rule and no rate are published for exercise equipment. Call the operator on 972.392.9300 option 2, ask whether the machine can go out on the monthly bulky day, and request a free estimate if it needs a special collection instead.
When & how
Call the operator before the machine goes out, and use the monthly bulky Saturday only if it is confirmed as a bulk item.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its weight when you call, take it down as far as it will come apart, remove any console or battery pack, and keep the pieces under the 150 pound per item limit.
Commercial construction and remodeling debris is prohibited from the bulky collection. A household container within the published box limit can go out with the monthly bulk, and anything larger is a special collection or a self-haul trip.
City cost & eligibility
No rate is published for construction material. Call the operator on 972.392.9300 option 2 for a free estimate on a special collection, or confirm the gate charge at the transfer station before hauling the load yourself.
When & how
Call the operator for a special collection, or take the load to the Custer Road Transfer Station at 9901 Custer Road, open Monday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on 972.727.6341.
Get it ready
Containerize household debris to the published box rule of no larger than two feet by two feet by four feet and no more than 50 pounds, keep fence materials and loose debris out of the pile, and do not put contractor-generated material at the curb.
Household chemicals and hazardous waste are prohibited from the bulky collection, and the operator page routes them to the City of Allen household hazardous waste programme.
City cost & eligibility
The operator publishes no rate or accepted list for household hazardous waste and refers residents to the City of Allen programme, so confirm the location, hours, accepted items and any charge with the city before loading the car.
When & how
Contact the City of Allen household hazardous waste programme for its drop-off details, and keep chemicals, batteries, tires and propane tanks out of the bulky pile and the carts until then.
Get it ready
Keep products in their original labelled containers with sealed lids, never mix them, and remember that propane tanks have to come off a grill before the grill itself can go out as a bulky item.
Trash is weekly and recycling and compost run on the same day, with recycling every other week. Carts go out no later than 7 a.m. for a pickup window between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., at least three feet apart and three feet from mailboxes, cars, fences, gas meters and drainage ditches, with 16 feet of clearance above the cart and the wheels facing the residence. Carts come back inside or behind the front building line within 24 hours.
One bulky Saturday a month, boxed and under 150 pounds
The bulky collection runs without a call on the same Saturday every month, tied to the trash day, and everything has to be at the curb by 7 a.m. Each household gets up to six cubic yards, every item has to weigh under 150 pounds, and household debris has to be in a container no larger than two feet by two feet by four feet weighing no more than 50 pounds. Contractor debris, fence materials, tires, batteries, propane tanks, car parts, household chemicals and loose debris cannot go out.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
