Hurricane Milton Recovery 

Boat Ramps Closed

The City of Eustis has closed the Boat Ramps on Lakeshore Drive. The ramps will remain closed until water levels recede and it is safe to launch and retrieve watercraft. A separate notice will be posted when the ramps are expected to reopen.

For the safety of all residents a No Wake order is currently in effect, and anyone with watercraft already on Lake Eustis should travel at idle speeds when within 100 feet of the shoreline.

Yard Debris

The City will be assisting Waste Management with collecting debris. Waste Management will collect some bagged or binned yard debris during each regular collection. Citizens are reminded that Waste Management cannot pick up all of the additional debris bags in one day on residential routes. Public Works will collect larger limbs and piles of debris. The City has been set up in a grid pattern, beginning downtown and spreading to more outlying areas. Once the full city has been serviced, Public Works will begin the cycle again for a second round of pick-up. It may take several weeks for all yard debris to be collected.

To ensure a quicker collection, prepare curbside debris by:

• Gathering debris (branches, limbs, trees, etc.) separately from household garbage and recycling.
• Ensure that the piles are on the curb and are being kept off streets, sidewalks, and storm drains. Safely position piles away from parked cars, mailboxes, powerlines, storm drains, or other structures.  
• Try and combine your piles with your neighbor's to create larger piles.  

Garbage Pick Up

At this time, Waste Management is running their regular pick up schedule for household waste.

City Closures

All City of Eustis Offices are open.
