Collection and Recycling Service</strong></em><br />Maintaining an attractive neighborhood means making sure that trash and litter around your home is picked up, secured in a proper container, and left out for pick-up by your garbage collector. Containers must be removed from the street by no later than 10 a.m. on the day following your collection. The City of Urbana provides collection of recyclable materials, including these <a href="https://www.urbanaillinois.us/recyclables">items</a>. Please place your recyclables out on your designated pickup day found <a href="https://www.urbanaillinois.us/node/7384">here</a>.

Urbana is accessible by car, air, train or bus. Once here, there are a variety of transportation options, whether they are by foot, bike, <a href="http://urbanaillinois.us/residents/zipcar-program" target="_self">Zipcar</a> or <a href="http://www.cumtd.com/" target="_blank">public transportation</a>.</p> <p><em><strong>BikeShare</strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> <br /></strong></span></em>The new dockless bikeshare program in Urbana called <a href="https://www.veoride.com/" target="_blank">VeoRide</a> completely alleviates all of that, and has been successful all across the United States. First, on a smartphone, download the VeoRide app. Next, find a bike, which is easy. Either spot a bike and start the process or locate one of these GPS-equipped bikes with the app. Next, unlock the bike’s self-contained wheel lock by scanning a QR code with your smartphone. </p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Parking in Urbana</strong> </span><br /><a href="http://urbanaillinois.us/parking" target="_self">Parking permits</a> are required in some neighborhoods bordering the University due to high demand. Residents may purchase parking stickers and guest passes at the Finance Department, City Hall, 400 South Vine Street. Be sure to park no closer than five feet from either side of a driveway. Parking on grass or dirt is prohibited, so please don’t park in your yard.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Housing</strong> </span><br />A variety of Housing alternatives exist in Urbana. As you consider your options, please keep in mind the following:</p> <p><em><strong>Rental Registration and Occupancy</strong></em> <br />Urbana requires registration and code inspection of all residential rental properties. No more than four unrelated persons may occupy a dwelling unit. If you are renting a unit with more than three other unrelated roommates, you may need to move.
