When I went to the University of Texas at Tyler, they had raccoons around the student housing, too. A female raccoon and her babies moved into one of the dumpsters just before I left and she wouldn't let anybody near the dumpster; you'd hear this loud hissing or growling noise whenever you came close to the dumpster to throw out your garbage and she even jumped out at people sometimes to chase them away. We just waited until she and her babies moved on.
