Trailer Septic Tanks
in Selma, NC.

Portable septic volume in Selma shows up most on the rural southern edge of town, where some lots sit outside the city sewer footprint, and on US-70 Bypass new-build lots during framing before the sewer hookup finishes. Industrial sites along the rail line occasionally pick it up when the sewer line is tapped out during a long shutdown.

For homeowners, general contractors, developers, and event teams across Selma.

The ground in Selma

What placement
actually costs here.

Residential renovations, commercial builds, and municipal events all pull from the same yards.Selma is Johnston County's railroad town, and that still shapes how the place is laid out. The Amtrak depot on Raiford Street boards passengers twice a day on the Carolinian and Palmetto lines — one of the few active Amtrak stops in NC between Raleigh and Fayetteville. The CSX and Norfolk Southern tracks cross at a diamond junction right in the middle of uptown. The historic blocks sit directly on the rails rather than away from them, which is how the town looks older and more intact than most of its Johnston County neighbors. Residential growth hasn't come in at the Raleigh-metro scale here — the newer builds have filled in along the US-70 Bypass side of town, but the uptown core has kept its 1890s-through-1920s character.

Property mix

How the town is built

Selma reads older and tighter than the rest of Johnston County because its uptown is built around the rails instead of around a modern commercial strip. The historic uptown blocks carry 1890s-through-1920s homes and storefronts on narrow lots where 16- and 20-yard dumpsters are the right fit. The mid-century residential blocks west of town are built on standard lots with mature landscaping. The US-70 Bypass side holds the newer subdivisions on wider streets. Commercially, the US-301 small-shop strip handles most retail work, and the industrial sites along the rail line east of uptown run the warehouse and light-manufacturing volume. There is no master-planned community pulling the mix one direction the way Flowers Plantation does in Clayton.

Access

How we get there

Selma runs from Smithfield (~10 min) or Mebane (~95 min)depending on that day's dispatch load. From either yard the way in is I-95 and US-70, then the residential streets through each neighborhood.

Permitting

Who signs what

Selma's permit flow has a wrinkle no other Johnston County town we serve has — the local historic district overlay in uptown. Street-visible container placements inside the historic district get reviewed by the Town of Selma Historic Preservation Commission before we drop. We handle the submission and the schedule. Outside the historic district, the Town of Selma issues standard street-use permits for anything on public property, and private driveway placements don't need a town permit. I-95, US-70, US-301, NC-39, and NC-96 are state highways — placements adjacent to them add a state DOT permit, which we also handle. The rail right-of-way adds a separate setback for anything on or near the tracks. Johnston County rules on disposal apply on the back end, covered by our hauling licenses.
