To our valued customers:

After eight years of proudly serving this region, we are excited to announce Raekar has sold to Republic Services. RaeKar may be changing hands, but the important things are staying the same: You will see the same friendly faces and experience the same highest-caliber customer service.

We understand that you may have questions. Here’s what you can expect:

· Consistent Operations: Your collection services will continue without interruption.

· Familiar Faces: The same dedicated local team will handle your collections and answer your questions.

· Simplified Billing: For now, just pay your bill with Raekar the way you always have. You’ll receive detailed information soon with your new Republic Services account number and easy-to-follow payment instructions in the near future, as well as ways to manage your account online, through our app, or by phone or mail.

If you have additional questions, please get in touch. We are eager to help you! This transition will go into effect July 1, 2026.

From the RaeKar team, it has been a privilege to serve this community. Thank you
