Running Selma

How the job
works here.

Residential renovations, commercial builds, and municipal events all pull from the same yards. What changes in Selma is how quickly the truck reaches you, how we place it on local ground, and who signs what before it drops.

Step 01 · Delivery

How fast we can be there

Our Smithfield yard runs Selma daily — about 10 minutes from our lot to any driveway in town. Same cutoff for renovation drops and construction schedules.

  • Order by 4 PM, we’re at your address the next day
  • Two yards on standby (Smithfield + Mebane) if one is slammed
  • Busy building season doesn’t push the schedule
  • Weekend delivery available on request
Book delivery
Step 02 · Placement

Making it fit your driveway

Old Selma driveways run narrow; newer subdivisions have room to spare. We size the equipment to your address before we drop.

  • Narrow older-neighborhood driveways: we size to 16 or 20 yards
  • Newer US-70 subdivisions: any size we offer will fit
  • Tree canopy or low wires: we confirm clearance first
  • Commercial sites with a loading dock: we deliver right to it

Step 03 · Paperwork

We handle the permits

Johnston County disposal paperwork rides on our credentials, not yours. If the town or your HOA needs anything, we tell you before you sign.

  • Johnston County disposal permits: on us
  • In your driveway: no town permit at all
  • Street or event drops: we tell you what’s needed
  • HOA time limits on US-70: checked before signing

Neighborhoods
on the route.

The truck routes are the same across Selma, but placement is a block-by-block conversation. Each neighborhood below carries the note that changes how we deliver into it.

Uptown Selma Historic DistrictHistoric uptown + antique shops + Amtrak depot
The historic uptown blocks along Raiford Street and Anderson Street, with the Amtrak depot anchoring the north end and antique shops filling most of the storefronts. The CSX and Norfolk Southern rail diamond crosses right through the middle. Street-visible drops here go through the Town of Selma Historic Preservation Commission; we handle the submission.
North Selma historic residential1890s–1920s homes
The historic residential blocks north of uptown — older homes on narrow lots with mature trees overhead. 16- and 20-yard dumpsters do most of the work; we check overhead clearance before scheduling a larger size.
West-side mid-centuryEstablished residential
The mid-century blocks spreading west of town. Standard driveway widths, mature landscaping. Most sizes we rent fit; whole-house teardowns bring in the walking floor.
US-70 Bypass new buildsNewer residential subdivisions
The newer subdivisions on the US-70 Bypass side of town, built out in the last twenty years. Wide driveways, modest HOA activity compared to the big master-plans elsewhere in the county. Any size we rent fits.
US-301 commercial stripSmall-shop commercial
The small-shop commercial strip along US-301 through town. 20- and 30-yard dumpsters do most of the work. US-301 is a state highway, so street-side placements along it add a state DOT permit rather than a town permit.
Rail-side industrialIndustrial along the tracks
The industrial sites running along the rail line east of uptown — warehousing, light manufacturing, and railroad-adjacent operations. 30-yard and 40-yard compactor jobs are the standard dumpster call. Rail right-of-way setbacks apply to anything near the tracks.
Rural southern edgeRural + agricultural edge
The agricultural edge and rural residential area south of town, running toward Pine Level. Working farmland and large-lot rural homes. Some lots sit outside the city sewer footprint and pick up portable septic during framing.

Plus every subdivision, farm parcel, and residential street off I-95 and US-70 that isn’t named here.

Questions from Selma

The ones we get
every week here.

What's the historic preservation review process in uptown Selma?

The Town of Selma Historic Preservation Commission reviews changes to properties inside the local historic district whenever those changes are visible from the street. For a dumpster rental, that usually means a street-visible placement outside a historic uptown home or storefront — if it will sit visible for more than a short window, we route the request through the Commission on your behalf. Private driveway placements set back from the street don't trigger the review.

Will a 30-yard dumpster fit a historic uptown Selma driveway?

Usually not. The driveways around the 1890s uptown blocks are narrow, and some have retaining walls or close-in landscaping that limit the approach even more. 16- and 20-yard dumpsters do most of the uptown work. If a bigger size is needed, we can sometimes stage on the street with the permit paperwork — we walk the site before dispatch to know for sure.

Can you deliver near the Amtrak depot or the rail diamond?

Yes, with scheduling. The Amtrak depot and the CSX / Norfolk Southern rail diamond sit right in the middle of uptown. We coordinate drops around train movements and respect the railroad right-of-way setbacks on anything on or adjacent to the tracks. Containers for storefront renovations along Raiford Street and Anderson Street near the depot are a regular route for us.

Do you serve the industrial sites along the rail line east of town?

Yes — rail-side industrial renovation and maintenance is a regular commercial route for us in Selma. 30-yard and 40-yard compactor-ready dumpsters, walking-floor trailers for bigger haul windows, and portable restrooms for maintenance crews are all standard here. Placements near the rails add a right-of-way setback; we work from your site plan.

What about antique weekends and other downtown Selma events?

Yes. Antique-weekend events and other downtown Selma community festivals route through our Smithfield yard. Johnston County health department rules apply to ADA units and separate handwashing stations once food service is on site, and food vendors need dedicated handwashing stations near every food line. We size the unit count to the event permit and coordinate drop-off with the organizers.

My project is near I-95, US-70, US-301, NC-39, or NC-96 — do I need a state DOT permit?

If the container lands on state-highway land, yes. I-95, US-70, US-301, NC-39, and NC-96 are all state DOT roads through or near Selma. The state DOT handles those permits rather than the Town of Selma — we note which permit applies on your estimate and submit it for you. Driveway placements and town-maintained streets don't need the state permit.

How quickly can you have a dumpster in Selma?

The Smithfield yard sits about ten minutes down US-301 from uptown Selma — the shortest Johnston County route we run alongside Smithfield itself. Morning orders usually land same-day, and anything in by the end of the business day leaves our yard the next morning. Give us a call to confirm the exact window.

Do you cover the towns near Selma?

Yes. Smithfield (right next door across the river), Pine Level, Micro, Kenly, Four Oaks, and most of the eastern side of Johnston County all ship from the Smithfield yard on next-day scheduling. The Mebane yard picks up when the route runs north or west.
