- The city’s published pages give no bundling, size, or weight rules for brush.
- Fences, treated wood, and construction materials go to the 121 Regional Disposal Facility in Melissa.

What does the City of Anna say about brush and yard debris?
The City of Anna lists yard waste, including limbs, soil, and grass clippings, among the items its regular carts do not accept. The city’s Trash and Recycling Guidelines send yard waste questions to CARDS Recycling at 877-592-2737.
The pages reviewed do not spell out bundling, size, weight, or collection schedules for brush, and rules from another city should not be assumed to apply here. A short call to CARDS before you cut and stack limbs saves a second trip.
What are your options for brush removal in Anna, TX?
Anna residents have four options, and the right one depends on volume, timing, and how much lifting you want to do yourself.
| Option | Fits when | What to know |
| Regular trash cart | Not applicable | Limbs, soil, and grass clippings are not accepted |
| CARDS Recycling | Small amounts, once CARDS confirms the rules | Confirm current brush rules and schedules first |
| CARDS roll-off container | A large project you will load yourself | Reserved through CARDS; the city’s guidelines note temporary roll-off containers |
| Junk Quest haul-away | Piles, storm debris, or lots of limbs | $120 minimum, crew loads and hauls |
For fences, treated wood, and construction materials, the City of Anna Trash Services page lists the 121 Regional Disposal Facility at 3820 Sam Rayburn Highway in Melissa, TX. A crew can also haul them; see construction debris removal in Anna.
Why do larger lots and storm limbs change the plan?
Volume is the difference. A larger lot produces more trimmings, and a storm can drop several trees’ worth of limbs in one night, which can be more than a household can set out at the curb. Heavy limbs also take real effort to cut, drag, and stack.
A few steps make the haul faster and keep the price in line:
- Stack limbs in one pile near the driveway so the crew can reach it without carrying across the yard.
- Keep gates and paths clear on pickup day.
- Set fencing and lumber apart from the brush so the crew can see the full load.
- Point out any stump pieces or heavy rounds, since weight affects pricing.
For storm cleanup beyond the brush pile, see storm damage cleanup.
What will a Junk Quest crew haul from an Anna yard?
A Junk Quest crew hauls branches, brush, and leaves, tree limbs and stump debris, grass clippings and garden trimmings, and soil, sod, and mulch piles. It also takes old fences, decking, and landscape timbers, along with outdoor furniture, planters, play equipment, and storm or seasonal debris.
That list matches the scope of the yard waste removal service across North Dallas. One crew can clear the limbs, the fence section that fell with them, and the broken patio chair in a single visit.
What does brush and yard debris hauling cost in Anna, TX?
The minimum charge is $120, with free estimates. The final price depends on the amount of material, the type of material, how accessible the pile is, and the hauling and disposal involved. Brush jobs follow the same volume-based pricing as every other Junk Quest job; see how junk removal pricing works.
