This convenient event allows Allen solid waste utility customers one-stop disposal of accepted items for recycling and donations.
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
