Dumpster Rental in Tavares, FL

Tavares: the county seat on Lake Dora

Tavares had 19,003 residents at the 2020 Census, and it is the seat of Lake County, about 20 miles north of Clermont on Lake Dora. The city is known as America's Seaplane City, from the seaplanes that land on Lake Dora, and the historic downtown has homes and buildings from the early 1900s. The Lake County Central Solid Waste Facility, at 13130 County Landfill Road in Tavares, is where the debris from a dumpster in the service area goes — the facility takes residential drop-offs Monday through Saturday.

The housing stock in Tavares is older than in Clermont. The homes near downtown and around Lake Dora 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.

Tavares is the closest city in the service area to the county landfill, so the debris from a Tavares container has the shortest trip of any city on the service area page. The provider delivers from Clermont on US 27 and the county roads north of the city.

Tavares is known as America's Seaplane City, from the seaplanes that land on Lake Dora, and the seaplane base on the lakefront is the city's well-known landmark.

Placement and rules in Tavares

A container on your driveway in Tavares 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 Tavares or Lake County before placing on a public street. Some Tavares 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 Tavares 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.
