Chunk Your Junk takes place at the Environmental Collection Center.
Inclement Weather Plan
Chunk Your Junk will run "rain or shine" as scheduled this Saturday, April 27.
Should the weather present a hazard to staff and residents, staff will pause the event until is safe to resume. Please be aware of the following weather protocols:
A sign will be posted on the barricades at Walnut Rd. & First St.
Those in line will be allowed to remain queued on First St. until the event reopens, or until 1 p.m.
Anyone already in the gate when the hazard starts will be asked to park and wait or exit and return when weather permits.
Due to the fact that we used multiple entities to make CYJ work, we can not cancel and reschedule for a later date.
The Chunk Your Junk event is for Frisco residents with a City of Frisco utility billing account, only. You are REQUIRED to show your driver’s license and city water bill with matching address to drop off all items. Residents who live in an apartment are not eligible to participate in Chunk Your Junk and cannot drop off items at the event; but you are encouraged to visit during our regularly scheduled HHW drop-off hours.
Because of time constraints, staff recommends that residents be in line by 12:30 p.m. to receive service, long lines are expected.
For safety, this is a drive-up only event. No walk-up drop-offs are permitted.
This is a Do-It-Yourself Disposal Event. Residents must unload all of their own items, EXCEPT for HHW items.
