You can sign up online to get text, email or phone calls to
receive collection reminders. You
can also get them embedded into your calendar or can print the annual
calendar. These are all available
at https://cityofracine.org/SolidWaste/LookUp/
You can download the
calendar at the above website.
Calendars and up to (10) stickers can be picked up at the following
sites:
- City Clerk’s Office, City Hall, 730 Washington Avenue Room 103
- Pearl Street Facility, 9th & Pearl Street
- Department of Public Works Field Office, 800 S. Marquette Street
Residents are only allowed to place bags out in addition to a full
cart. If the cart is not utilized
for collection, we will not collect bags.
You are required to provide
a clear path to the items
after a snow storm for the safety of our collectors.
HBI stickers are only to be used for Bulky Items that won’t fit in the cart, such as furniture, mattresses and
prepared carpet. Items such as the
(3) 42 gallon bags allowed do not require the HBI sticker.
This provides a more cost effective means to provide the same waste
collection services and reallocates personnel to provide the needed street
maintenance services.
You either exceeded the
maximum allowance of 5 HBI’s per week, the item was not eligible for
collection or you didn’t have it placed out for collection by 7:00 a.m.
You can bring the excess
HBI materials to the Racine Transfer Station Facility, for a fee of $25 per item, Tuesday through Saturday between the hours
of 10:00AM and 5:45P.M. You can also
hold them and place them out the following week as long as they have the
HBI stickers on them at that time.
We no longer collect branches curbside. You need to bring them to the
Pearl Street Facility, at no
charge, Tuesday through Saturday between the hours of 10:00AM and
5:45P.M.
Disabled and elderly customers may apply to have their solid waste and recycling collected from their back door if no one in their household is physically able to carry their solid waste to the curb line or alley for collection.
