Before you call anyone
Allen's monthly bulk pickup
Community Waste Disposal (CWD) picks up bulky items once a month on a Saturday set by your trash day, with no call needed: the first Saturday for Monday routes, the second for Tuesday, the third for Wednesday and Thursday, and the fourth for Friday. The limit is 6 cubic yards, about six washing machines side by side.
- Set items out by 7 a.m. at your trash collection point, at least two feet from your carts.
- Every item has to weigh less than 150 pounds, and loose debris has to be boxed: no bigger than 2 × 2 × 4 feet and no heavier than 50 pounds.
- Refrigerators, freezers and A/C units are taken only with a professional's tag certifying they're refrigerant-free.
- Anything over the limit needs a paid special pickup from CWD, quoted by phone.
What the city won't take at the curb
- Construction, demolition and remodeling materials
- Fence materials
- Rugs or carpet over 6 feet
- Tires, batteries and car parts
- Household chemicals and propane tanks
- Extra bags or boxes of household trash
