Smithfield is the county seat, where the Neuse River bends past downtown and the courthouse anchors Market Street. I-95 runs the east side at exit 95 with the outlet center, and the Ava Gardner Museum keeps the town's name traveling.
The housing here is older on average than the boom towns, so estate cleanouts and full-house clearing jobs are steady, along with renovations bringing the downtown-adjacent homes back. Rental turnovers around the county offices fill in the rest.
Full-house clearing is the Smithfield job that runs into the not-accepted list, because a house a family held for forty years has all of it. Tires stacked behind the shed, an old freezer on the carport, paint dumpsters on a basement shelf, a television in the back bedroom: none of that can go in the load, and the landfill charges by its own rules on each one. Pull those aside into their own pile as you work through the house. If the property has a full stack of appliances rather than the usual one or two, mention it when you book and we can set a separate dumpster just for those and take them where they have to go.
Smithfield sits about 24 miles from the Willow Spring yard, and I-95, US 70, US 301 and NC 210 tie it to the rest of the Johnston County run. Selma, Four Oaks and Wilson's Mills share those trips, so a property that mails to one town and sits nearer another changes nothing about the schedule.
Smithfield's housing centers on 1973-era builds, so remodel debris leads the loads here and the 15-yard is the workhorse, with the 20 for roofs.
| Dumpster | Dimensions | Included weight | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard Dumpster | 12 × 8 × 3 ft | 1 ton included | garage cleanouts, small bath tear-outs, deck boards, and yard debris |

The 10-yard opens at $299 here, and the ladder runs $345 for the 15, $395 for the 20, $400 for concrete, the same sheet every Johnston County address sees. Those figures include the haul both ways, about 33 minutes each. Delivery rides the standing route up US 70, about 33 minutes door to door, so there is no separate line for it; a true edge-of-the-map address hears about mileage on the phone.
Three things can raise the figure, and each announces itself:
Most Smithfield dumpsters go on the driveway, and that is the easiest answer on almost any lot in Johnston County: the dumpster slides off the back of the truck rather than swinging out sideways, so a straight approach matters more than a wide one.
Tight spot? Text Logan a photo before delivery day.
Low limbs and service lines overhead matter more than people expect, since the bed tips up to set the dumpster down.

"Great company to do bussiness with. Called and placed my order for a dumpster. It was delievered the same day and very resonable pricing. Will call them again."

"Logan, with Waste on Wheels is so kind and helpful. We had a very quick move to across the country and knew we needed a dumpster immediately. Jordan had a rolloff out to our house the next morning. Jordan has answered every question I have had along the way and made our move less stressful."
The 10-yard opens at $299 here, and the ladder runs $345 for the 15, $395 for the 20, $400 for concrete, the same sheet every Johnston County address sees. Those figures include the haul both ways, about 33 minutes each. Over the phone, in one number. Describe the Smithfield job and Logan will tell you the size that fits and what the full cost costs, with delivery, pickup, and the dump fee included. Nothing shows up on the invoice that wasn't said on the call.
Not the way we place them. Dumpsters in Smithfield go on your driveway or private property, never the street, whether the house fronts US 70 or a gravel lane, and it is street placement that triggers right-of-way paperwork in most Johnston County towns. If a job truly has no off-street option, talk to us before delivery day and we'll figure out the right approach.
Describe the pile in pickup-truck loads and Logan will size it on the phone. That one question sorts out most Smithfield orders faster than any chart, and it works the same from town lots to Johnston County farms. The size guide covers it too if you'd rather work it out yourself first.
Us, measured by road rather than by map pin. Smithfield is about 24 miles from our Willow Spring yard, out on NC 210, and that stretch is one we drive week in and week out. What decides a dumpster price is whether a truck already passes your address, and in Smithfield it does.
Yes. We run Selma, dumpster rental in Four Oaks, and Wilson's Mills on the same schedule, and everything between them along US 70. Rural addresses are normal for us, so tell Logan where it actually is rather than which town it mails to.
All of it. Smithfield is one stop on routes that also carry Willow Spring, Clayton, Kenly, Selma, Four Oaks, Benson, and 7 more, and the Johnston County page has the full roster. The quote works the same at every one of those addresses.
The Willow Spring yard: Smithfield sits on I-95 in Johnston County, about 24 miles from it. We keep two yards, Willow Spring and Kenly, so neither end of the area waits behind the other, and both trucks cross over when the day calls for it. The address is what sets the route, not the county line.
Yes. Town sanitation collects furniture and appliances on your zone's weekly day; Public Works handles anything beyond that as a special pickup. Weekly brown and white goods ride with regular service; oversized loads are billed per truckload. It suits a piece or two; a cleanout or remodel load is dumpster territory, and appliance doors must come off before pickup, per state law.
