You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

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.
Furniture is named on the acceptable bulk list, so a couch or chair leaves on the household's monthly bulky Saturday within the six cubic yard and 150 pound limits.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the residential franchise service on the monthly bulky collection, up to six cubic yards per household with each item under 150 pounds.
When & how
Put the furniture out by 7 a.m. on the household's monthly bulky Saturday, which follows the trash day, and no call is needed.
Get it ready
Keep the item under the 150 pound limit, keep it clear of the carts, mailboxes and ditches, and keep contractor-generated material and household chemicals out of the pile.
Mattresses and box springs are named on the acceptable bulk list and go out with the monthly bulky collection.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the residential franchise service on the monthly bulky collection, with each piece under the 150 pound item limit.
When & how
Set the mattress and box spring out by 7 a.m. on the household's monthly bulky Saturday, and report a missed collection to the operator on 972.392.9300 option 2.
Get it ready
Keep the set dry and inside the six cubic yard limit, lay it flat rather than leaning it against a cart, mailbox or fence, and keep it out of the garbage and recycling carts.
Washers, dryers, water heaters and kitchen appliances
Accepted with preparation
Washing machines, dryers, water heaters and kitchen appliances are on the acceptable bulk list, and a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner needs a tag certifying the refrigerant was removed.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the residential franchise service on the monthly bulky collection, with each item under the 150 pound limit. A cooling appliance is accepted only with the certification tag, and lawnmowers and grills are accepted with the fuel or the propane tank removed.
When & how
Set the appliance out by 7 a.m. on the household's monthly bulky Saturday. Arrange the refrigerant certification before a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner goes to the curb.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, remove or seal the doors so nothing can be trapped inside, remove oil and gas from a lawnmower, take the propane tank off a grill, and have the refrigerant removal certified by tag for a cooling appliance.
Televisions are named on the acceptable bulk list and go out with the monthly bulky collection.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the residential franchise service on the monthly bulky collection, with each television under the 150 pound item limit.
When & how
Put the television out by 7 a.m. on the household's monthly bulky Saturday, and keep it out of the garbage and recycling carts.
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.
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.

Arrange it
Call 972.392.9300 option 2, describe the item or load, and book the collection with the operator. Missed trash, recycling and bulky collections are reported to the same number.

Allen's curbside system covers most of a clean-out. Trash is weekly in a 95-gallon cart with bags inside and the lid closed, 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 by calling the operator by noon Tuesday. Large items ride the monthly bulky Saturday, which takes up to six cubic yards from a household with each item under 150 pounds and household debris boxed in a container no larger than two feet by two feet by four feet and no heavier than 50 pounds. Furniture, televisions, mattresses, appliances and tagged cooling units are on the acceptable list, while contractor debris, tires, batteries, propane tanks, car parts and household chemicals are prohibited and have to go through a special collection or the city's hazardous waste programme. For a self-haul trip, the Custer Road Transfer Station at 9901 Custer Road takes extra trash and bulk Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on 972.727.6341.
