How a holiday week works in Allen
The rule behind the table above, applied to your street.
Your regular day is the one shown for your area in the collection table on the city page — extra days that appear only in some weeks are holiday-week exceptions, not a second weekly pickup. On a holiday week, check the city's notice or the exceptions table above before assuming a normal day. Set bins out the night before a holiday-week pickup.
