Dumpster rental
in Allen.

Inside Allen city limits, order a roll-off from Community Waste Disposal: the City says temporary roll-off and open-top construction containers must be ordered through CWD and other collection companies are prohibited by ordinance. Ask CWD for a written quote, because it publishes sizes and weight caps but no prices or rental terms.

The first decision in Allen

Check the city boundary first.

There is no field of competing suppliers in Allen. The real choice is CWD's container size: a light-duty 12-yard bin that fits a driveway and is capped at 4 tons, or 20- and 30-yard bins capped at 8 and 10 tons for heavier remodel debris. Price, rental days and included tonnage are all quote-only, and for small loads the free monthly bulky pickup or a paid special collection may be cheaper.

Your local checklist
  1. Confirm the house is inside Allen city limits, not in Fairview, Lucas, Parker, Plano or McKinney, before ordering through CWD.
  2. Call CWD (972-392-9300, option 2) and get the container size, rental days, included tons, overage and extra-day charges in writing; the posted weights are maximums, not included disposal.
  3. Pick a driveway spot that keeps the bin out of the street and alley, call City Hall (214-509-4100) before any street placement, and check your HOA's container rules.

No published Allen rule on a dumpster in the street

We did not find a City of Allen page or code section that addresses parking a roll-off in a street, alley or sidewalk. The Engineering Department's Right-of-Way Management page covers permits for digging and utility work in City right-of-way (submitted online, with about 10 business days for review) and does not mention containers, so not finding a dumpster rule is not the same as no permit being needed. Because CWD is the only company allowed to set the bin, ask CWD where it will place it and, for any spot on the street or alley, call Allen City Hall (214-509-4100) first. CWD describes its 12-yard light-duty open top as light enough for a driveway and about one parking space long, which keeps it off the pavement. Where your carts go out to an alley, keep the bin clear of the alley and leave the spacing the City asks for around carts on trash day.

What matters locally

Monthly bulky pickup on a set Saturday, but no remodel debris

CWD collects bulky items automatically once a month on a Saturday tied to your trash day: Monday homes on the first Saturday, Tuesday on the second, Wednesday and Thursday on the third, Friday on the fourth. Set items out by 7 a.m.; no call is needed. The 2026 guidelines allow up to 6 cubic yards per household, with no single item over 150 pounds, and refrigerators, freezers and AC units need a tag certifying the refrigerant was removed. Construction and remodeling materials, fence materials, tree limbs and trunks, bagged or boxed trash and rugs longer than 6 feet are not collected; CWD will quote a paid special collection (972-392-9300, option 2) for construction waste and other leftovers.

Self-haul: Custer Road takes only small C&D shares; bulk debris goes to Melissa

Allen residents may take two loads of household trash a month to North Texas Municipal Water District sites, showing a current City of Allen water bill and a Texas driver's license with matching addresses, in a car, pickup or flat-bed rental truck (no box or stake-bed trucks), with loads covered. The Custer Road Transfer Station (9901 Custer Rd, Plano; Mon–Sat 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m.) accepts limited construction and demolition material free only when it is 10% or less of the load; a heavier share can get the whole load turned away. The City says the 121 Regional Disposal Facility (3820 Sam Rayburn Hwy, Melissa) is the only site for large amounts of C&D, at $48 a ton plus tax with a one-ton minimum.

Household chemicals are picked up at your door, by appointment

Paint, primers, pool chemicals, pesticides, automotive fluids, oil filters, lead-acid batteries and propane tanks are not cart or bulky items. The City schedules household hazardous waste pickups up to four times a year, limited to 5 gallons or less per pickup, through AllenTX.gov/HHW or 214-509-4551. Asbestos, ammunition, medical waste and unlabeled chemicals are not accepted, and none of these belong in a roll-off either.

Questions about renting in Allen.

Can I hire any dumpster company for a project at my Allen home?

Not for a temporary roll-off or open top. The City of Allen says CWD is its contracted provider of all solid waste collection, that using another waste collection company is prohibited by City ordinance, and that temporary roll-off and open-top containers used for construction must be ordered through CWD. CWD's open-top service offers 12-, 20- and 30-yard bins to individuals as well as businesses; call 972-392-9300, option 2, for a quote. City Code § 6-52(c) says the City is the sole provider of solid waste collection, including temporary roll-off open-top construction containers.

Where can I take renovation debris myself from Allen?

Small shares only to the Custer Road Transfer Station in Plano, which takes construction and demolition material free only when it is 10% or less of a resident load. Larger amounts go to the 121 Regional Disposal Facility in Melissa, which the City calls the only site for large C&D quantities, at $48 a ton plus tax with a one-ton minimum. Monthly bulky pickup will not take construction or remodeling materials, though CWD quotes a paid special collection.
