Anna, TX residents have until April 25, 2026 to gather household hazardous waste for a free city-sponsored drop-off event running from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Proof of Anna residency is required for entry, and organizers warn that space is limited — making early arrival advisable.
The event accepts a broad range of materials across two categories. Household hazardous waste accepted includes acids, aerosol cans, antifreeze, car and household batteries, brake fluid, fertilizers, fluorescent lights, gasoline, herbicides, motor oil, oil filters, paints, paint thinners, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane tanks, solvents, and varnishes, among other craft, hobby, and photo chemicals.
E-waste is also accepted, including home computers, printers, scanners, keyboards, fax machines, televisions, receivers, projectors, and DVD or game consoles — making this one of the few Anna-area opportunities to legally dispose of aging electronics at no cost.
City staff will be on-site to assist residents with unloading. The event proceeds rain or shine.
Several categories of materials are explicitly not accepted: ammunition, explosives, biohazardous waste, radioactive waste, tires, and pharmaceuticals. Residents with unused medications can refer to the city's separately announced Drug Take Back Event, posted March 27, 2026, for that disposal option.
The drop-off is free of charge for Anna residents, but proof of residency — such as a utility bill or government-issued ID showing an Anna address — will be required at the gate. No registration link or pre-signup was listed in the city's announcement; the event is first-come, first-served within available capacity.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Residents can view the original announcement at annatexas.gov or contact the City of Anna for location details and additional questions.
