Due to the size of our village, it is necessary to contract with surrounding municipalities for various services. Below is a brief description of those contracted services and our current providers. The provider can change as needed.
Police
The Racine County Sheriff’s Department (RCSD) provides village law enforcement. In an emergency, such as a crime in progress, accidents with injuries, etc. call 911.
To report village ordinance violations call 262-886-2300.
Fire / Rescue Squad
The Village contracts with the City of Racine Fire Department for fire and emergency medical technician services. If you wish to report a fire or need a rescue squad, call 911.
The fire department charges a fee for rescue squad services. The user of the rescue squad is responsible for payment of services. The bill should be submitted to your insurance provider if applicable.
Garbage Pickup, Recycling and Yard Waste
The Village has three waste programs: Solid waste, recyclables and yard waste.
Solid waste is picked up at curbside each Monday 6am – 6pm except on holidays, when collections will be made the following day.
Recyclables are picked up at curbside every other Monday, or the dates posted on Johns Disposal Website.
Yard waste will be collected the same day as the recyclables from April to early December as published on John’s Disposal Website. Your yard waste should be placed in a paper yard waste bag.
There is a Wisconsin DNR grant available to our Village provided we meet the DNR standards. The standards include the total weights of recyclables and yard waste to the total weight of solid waste, recyclables and yard waste. The standard also includes the Village disposing of at least 112.8 pounds of recyclables per person (not household) each calendar year. To date, the Village has been successful in meeting these DNR standards.
