Leesburg: the older city on the lakes

Leesburg had about 27,000 residents at the 2020 Census, and it is the older city in Lake County, about 18 miles northwest of Clermont on US Highway 27 and US Highway 441. The city sits on the Harris Chain of Lakes, with Lake Harris to the east and Lake Griffin to the north, and the historic downtown has homes and buildings from the early 1900s. Venetian Gardens, the park on Lake Harris, is the city's well-known landmark.

The housing stock in Leesburg is older than in Clermont. The homes near downtown and around the lakes have been there for decades, and a remodel on one of them is a full-gut job — a 30-yard job, not a 20-yard job. An estate cleanout on one of them is a 30-yard job too. The newer subdivisions on the edges of the city have three-bedroom homes where a kitchen remodel or a flooring job is a 20-yard job, and a roof tear-off is a 20-yard job as well.

Leesburg's position on US 27 and US 441 makes it an easy delivery from Clermont, and the debris goes to the Lake County facility in Tavares, about 15 miles to the east. The provider delivers on the same roads the homeowner uses every day.

Venetian Gardens and Lake Harris

Leesburg's well-known landmark is Venetian Gardens, the park on Lake Harris with its canals, bridges and gardens, and the city has held festivals there for decades. Lake Harris is the largest lake in the Harris Chain of Lakes, and the lakefront homes around it have long driveways and large lots, where a container can sit for a week without blocking the street. The historic downtown has homes and buildings from the early 1900s, and a remodel on one of them is a full-gut job.

The city sits on US Highway 27 and US Highway 441, the two roads that run north through Lake County, and the provider delivers from Clermont on the same roads. The debris goes to the Lake County facility in Tavares, about 15 miles to the east, which is the shortest trip of any city in the north of the service area.

Placement and rules in Leesburg

A container on your driveway in Leesburg usually needs no permit. A container on a public street, sidewalk or right-of-way may need one from the city or the county, and the rules and any fee vary by place. Check with the City of Leesburg or Lake County before placing on a public street. Some Leesburg neighbourhoods have HOA rules about where a container can sit and how long it can stay visible, so check your HOA rules before the delivery is arranged.

Driveway protection matters on an older driveway. The homes near downtown Leesburg have driveways that are decades old, and a loaded container can mark them. Boards or plywood under the rails spread the weight. Avoid placing on pavers or over a septic tank or drainfield, and keep the spot clear of low wires and branches.
