First question for any Eustis move: city or county?
A Eustis mailing address does not always mean the City of Eustis. Some homes, including many in the 32736 ZIP code, are in unincorporated Lake County. The answer changes who you call for water and trash, so sort it out before you set up anything.
Inside Eustis city limits
- Water & sewerCity of Eustis. Apply as a new residential customer (details below).
- TrashWaste Management, under a city franchise, billed on your city utility bill. Inside city limits you have to use the city’s hauler.
- Bulk itemsCall the city at 352-589-4333 any time, or wait for a quarterly clean-up week.
Eustis address, unincorporated county
- WaterCould be the city or another provider. Ask the seller or landlord.
- TrashLake County’s program: garbage, recycling, and yard waste once a week each, in two county carts, with bulk pickup available (Lake County trash & recycling, 352-343-3776).
- Bulk itemsThrough the county’s solid waste program.
Bring two IDs, and plan on a deposit of up to $125.
Here is what the City of Eustis asks of new residential water and sewer customers. Electricity is a separate account with Duke or SECO.
What to bring
- A picture ID.
- A second ID: Social Security card, voter registration card, or a medical or car insurance card. Bank statements and bank cards don’t count.
- Proof of ownership, or a fully executed lease in your name.
- Two IDs for a joint applicant, too.
- Payment of any open balance you have with the city.
From the city’s New Service, Residential page. Questions: Utility Customer Service, 352-589-4333.
The deposit may be required based on a soft credit check. Pay in cash (in person only), by Discover, American Express, Visa, or Mastercard (in person or by phone), or by check.
The city’s application says deposits are held for three years, then refunded if your payment history is good. If it’s still on file when you move out, it goes toward the final bill. Bills come monthly.

As a Realtor I know there are a lot of option out there when it comes to movers, I chose Black Swan for my person move and could not have been more pleased. Customer service was great over the phone. I will say you may call and not get an answer but leave a message and they will call you back asap. The guys who came to assist with ny move were Bryant and Jerry. They let ne know when they were on their way and arrived within the time promosed tk start. When they arrived they introduced themselve, both were very friendly as well as efficient and quick. Bryant wrapped and banded blankets around anything unboxed in record time. It was obvious it was not his first rodeo.. lol I say rodeo because it reminded me of the hog tying competitions. Everything arrived at the new house safe and sound and Bryant reassembled my furniture better than it was before from orginal store delivery people. Took the time to do it right. I was orginally in a 4th floor apt so there was a lot of effort to move it from the apt so the fact there was nothing damaged was impressive but had there been they do provide some insurance with an option to add additional should you feel a need to. I will be recommending them to clients in the future with confidence. They literally roll out the red carpet for you! Be sure to tip these guys they work hard!
This moving company is amazing. Ten stars to them. Amber is a great consultant and gets you everything you need. And the movers are totally great. I could believe how friendly, fast and courteous they were. And the were very upfront about everything and very honest. I will be spreading the word to anyone who needs to move. Thanks guys for a excellent job.
Absolutely amazing! When I tell you Bryant and his team are phenomenal I mean it. Incredible rates for extremely innovative and professional service! As someone who has moved several times over the last few years I’ve dealt with my share of good and bad moving companies. Black Swan is easily my new #1 moving company in Central Florida! They are innovative and efficient when it comes to their moving techniques and extremely friendly and personable which just adds to the experience. You can tell they take pride in their work and will be sure to take care of your belongings throughout your move. They quite literally rolled out a red carpet and took care of business. I am proud to support this business and will keep them in mind for any future moves! 10/10 would recommend.

Eustis moving questions.
Is my Eustis address inside city limits?
Not always. Some homes with a Eustis mailing address, including many in the 32736 ZIP code, are in unincorporated Lake County. Inside city limits, the City of Eustis provides water and sewer and bills you for Waste Management trash service. Outside city limits, Lake County runs trash collection, and water may come from the city or from another provider. If you are not sure, call Eustis Utility Customer Service at 352-589-4333 before you book anything.
How do I start city water and sewer in Eustis?
Apply with the City of Eustis as a new residential customer. Bring a picture ID and a second ID, such as a Social Security card, voter registration card, or medical or car insurance card (bank statements and bank cards are not accepted). You also need proof of ownership or a fully executed lease in your name, and a joint applicant needs two IDs as well. Any open balance with the city has to be paid first.
How much is the Eustis utility deposit?
Up to $125 per account or unit, and it may be required based on a soft credit check. You can pay in cash (in person only), by card (in person or by phone), or by check. According to the city's application, the deposit is held for three years and refunded if your payment history is good. If it is still on file when you leave, it is applied to your final bill.
Who provides electricity in Eustis?
Two companies serve Eustis: Duke Energy and SECO Energy (Sumter Electric Cooperative). Which one you get depends on the address. Duke has an address lookup, and SECO has a service-territory map. Check both before moving day, then start service in your name with the company that serves the new home.
Do I still sort my recycling in Eustis?
No, not inside city limits. Since the week of March 3, 2025, the city's Waste-to-Energy program has replaced curbside recycling. Household trash, traditional recycling, and yard waste can all go in the same cart, which Waste Management takes to a waste-to-energy facility. The lid has to close, and the cart goes to the curb before 6 a.m. on your collection day.
How do I get rid of old furniture after the move?
Inside city limits, you can request a bulk pickup at any time by calling 352-589-4333, and the city says it should be collected within 72 hours, not counting weekends and holidays. Refrigerators, washers, water heaters, stoves, and dishwashers are scheduled the same way. Four times a year the city also holds a clean-up week. In 2026 the last one is November 2 to 6.
