Anna bulk trash pickup
Once a month on your regular trash day during the third week of the month (see the 2026 CARDS bulk calendar) — no weekly bulk. Pile about ≤3 ft × 3 ft × 9 ft (roughly 3 cubic yards). Carpet and brush bundled ≤4 ft / ≤50 lb. Freon appliances need verified evacuation proof before CARDS will collect. Excess bulky may get a disposal fee — call CARDS. Construction, treated wood, and fence panels → NTMWD Melissa Landfill gate rate or a CARDS roll-off.
