Holly Hill in one cross-section.
Most of the city is laid out in long north–south bands. Tell us which band your address sits in and we already know a lot about the drive, the parking, and the trash schedule.
I-95
Our way in. Exit 265 at LPGA Boulevard puts the truck on the main east–west road.
Nova Road
Once called the Truck Route or Canal Road, renamed in the late 1950s for NASA’s Nova rocket.
FEC tracks
The Florida East Coast line splits the city’s trash, bulk, and recycling days east from west.
Ridgewood Ave
U.S. 1 / S.R. 5. City Hall sits at 1065 Ridgewood, and so does the utility counter.
Riverside Drive
Part of the old Dixie Highway. Holly Hill’s first stores went up here, just north of LPGA.
Halifax River
The Intracoastal, lined with the city’s riverfront parks, piers, and boat ramp.
Cross streets that matter: LPGA Boulevard (11th Street was once named Washington) splits the recycling zones north from south. Mason Avenue marked the edge of the original 1901 town limits on its way to the river. FDOT has a design-phase project to widen LPGA west of town and rebuild the I-95 interchange; right-of-way work is tentatively planned to begin in summer 2027 (project 448456-1).
Two lines set your pickup days: the tracks and LPGA.

- Bulk is by list. Furniture, carpet, and TVs go out on your bulk day after you call to get on the list. The first cubic yard is included; after that the fee schedule lists $9.43 per cubic yard.
- Appliances need a call. White goods are collected for recycling for an extra charge. Take the doors off first.
- Moving boxes. The city recycling list names newspapers, cans, glass, and #1–3 plastic containers. Cardboard is not on it, so ask before you set flattened boxes out, or pass them along to a neighbor who is packing.
- Paint and chemicals. Take them to the household hazardous waste area at the Tomoka Landfill, 1990 Tomoka Farms Road, open 7 a.m.–5:30 p.m. Monday–Saturday.

How the bill reads: water is billed in 1,000-gallon steps, and anything under that rolls to the next cycle. Sign up for Eye On Water to watch daily use.
Need water before you move in? A short temporary turn-on for inspections is listed on the fee schedule; ask Utility Billing.
Power is separate. FPL lists Holly Hill in its communities served; start FPL service on its own.

The history is printed on the corners.
Condensed from the city’s history pages.
On July 2, 1901, thirty-one residents voted there to incorporate, largely to keep hogs out of their gardens. Factory owner Veteran Frank “Vet” Cave became the first mayor.
That was the whole town in 1910. The 2020 census counted 12,958.
Numbered streets carried names from 1876 until the 1930s. 11th Street was Washington; today it is LPGA Boulevard.
There is no 13th Street. The city says the slot went to the Walker family, who owned the subdivision.
Florida plus Michigan, from settlers naming streets after home. The Flemings took “Holly Hill” from their family home in Ireland.
Part of the Dixie Highway route, built out from 1915 to 1929. The original downtown grew here, starting with the Dixie Highway Grocery in 1910.
Four riverfront stops after the truck leaves.
City park admission is free. Details from the city’s parks & facilities list.
Sunrise Park North
1.5-mile walking path, fitness court, pier, playground, and the Holly Hill Farmers Market. Renovations are under way, so check the city page first.
Sunrise Park South
Boat ramp and kayak launch on the point Bill “The Real McCoy” used as a rum-running landing.
Pictona at Hollyland Park
49 pickleball courts, eight of them covered, plus a Senior Activity Center.

These numbers come from the same QuickFacts table as the top of the page. Here is what each one means when you call for a quote.
Owners, and a lot of renters
Nearly half of homes are not owner-occupied. For an apartment or rental, tell us the floor, the stairs or elevator, and where a box truck can park. See apartment moving.
Residents 65 and over
Downsizing from a house to something smaller? Tell us what goes, what stays, and what goes to family. See senior & downsizing moves.
People per household
Small households often mean smaller loads. If you have your own truck or pod, our labor-only crews can load or unload it.

I have moved so many times for work and was dreading an upcoming move. However, thanks to Black Swan, I had an absolutely seamless moving experience. From start to finish, I have zero complaints and am so grateful to the team that moved me. My quote was timely, they followed up amazingly well, and everyone was so kind and helpful. I’m not kidding when I say the booking experience was seamless, they make it easy to provide payment, and everything was transparent and fair.I truly cannot thank you all enough for making the stressful experience of moving feel so easy. Book Black Swan for your next move. You won’t be disappointed. They truly care about their customers and I will recommend them hands down every time. They were careful with my belongings and went the extra mile. What a professional company. Thank you all!!!
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.
Punctual, professional, and super personable!I hired Black Swan Movers based on reviews online and my experience was excellent. They confirmed my appointment ahead of time, and actually showed up early and then got right to work!My move was not an easy one, requiring nearly 9 hrs of moving, and they worked hard the whole time with a positive attitude!I would highly recommend Black Swan Movers, and will certainly call them again if I need moving services!

Services
Holly Hill moving questions.
How do I start water service in Holly Hill?
Go to Utility Billing at City Hall, 1065 Ridgewood Avenue. The person whose name will be on the bill must be there with a valid driver license and Social Security number, plus the deposit. Renters also need a lease signed by the owner as listed on the Volusia County Property Appraiser site, and the landlord needs a valid rental receipt and backflow inspection permit. Turn-ons are scheduled Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to noon, with no holiday turn-ons. Call 386-248-9432 with questions.
How much is the utility deposit in Holly Hill?
Residential deposits are based on a credit check. On the city fee schedule effective October 1, 2026, a green result is $50 each for water, sewer, and solid waste ($150 total), yellow is $75 each ($225), and red is $100 each ($300). Red also applies if you decline the credit check. Card payments carry a 3% fee.
Which day is trash day in Holly Hill?
It depends on which side of the Florida East Coast railroad tracks you live on. East of the tracks, garbage goes out Monday and Thursday; west of the tracks, Tuesday and Friday. Yard waste is collected citywide on Wednesday. Have it at the curb by 7 a.m. and bring the container back by sundown. WastePro collects for the city, and Utility Billing at 386-248-9432 can confirm your days.
How do I get rid of furniture and moving boxes in Holly Hill?
Bulk items such as furniture and carpet are collected Thursday east of the tracks and Friday west of the tracks. Call Utility Billing at 386-248-9432 to get on the list; there is a charge per cubic yard after the first cubic yard. Appliances need a call too, with the doors removed. The city recycling list names newspapers, cans, glass, and plastic containers numbered 1 to 3, but not cardboard, so ask Utility Billing before you put flattened boxes out.
Who provides electricity in Holly Hill?
Florida Power and Light lists Holly Hill among the Volusia County communities it serves. Electric service is a separate account from your city water, sewer, and trash bill, so start it with FPL before move-in day.
How do you get to Holly Hill from Orange City?
Our usual route is I-4 east to I-95 north, then Exit 265 at LPGA Boulevard and east into town. From there we pick the cross street that fits your address and plan the truck around the railroad crossings, US 1, and any apartment or alley access at the house.
Do you take TVs off the wall and take beds apart in Holly Hill?
Yes, as part of a move. We take TVs down from wall mounts, take beds and tables apart, pad them, and put them back together at the new place. We do not drill into walls, mount TVs, or re-attach anti-tip anchors, and we do not build new furniture that is still in the box. Packing help is also available with a move.
Do you also move people in Daytona Beach and Ormond Beach?
Yes. Holly Hill sits between Daytona Beach and Ormond Beach, and we run jobs across that whole stretch of the Halifax, plus Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater, and West Volusia. We also move people between Volusia, Seminole, Orange, and Lake counties. Call 407-603-5366, Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or request a free quote online.
