There's no vehicle sticker to buy — Palatine eliminated its program in 2022, saving households an average of $75. Water/sewer is billed bi-monthly by the Village (Utility Billing, 847-359-9082); refuse, recycling, and yard waste (April-November) are collected weekly by Groot — put everything at the curb by 6:30 a.m. on your collection day.
Bring one photo ID showing your current address within the District, or two forms of ID (one with a photo) if your address isn't current on either. Kids under 14 need a parent or guardian along. Non-residents can buy a full-service card for an annual fee — contact Member Services (ext. 125) to calculate it.

William Fremd High School is Palatine's own, one of five D211 high schools serving Hoffman Estates, Inverness, Palatine, Schaumburg, and parts of several other northwest suburbs — confirm by address rather than assuming, since D211 territory overlaps with towns like Arlington Heights that mostly belong to a different high school district.
