This convenient event allows Allen solid waste utility customers one-stop disposal of accepted items for recycling and donations. This event was rescheduled due to weather conditions on the original event date (April 20, 2024).To participate, you must bring:
✅ Your current City of Allen utility bill, placed in your windshield for easy viewing
✅ Your driver's license with an address that matches the one on your bill
When you arrive at the event, please stay in your vehicle. Staff will unload your items for you. Pack similar items together to reduce the amount of time staff spend sorting.
