From Your Call To Your Driveway
Order Before Noon
Send the form or call with the size and address. We text back a price and a drop window.
A Driver Is Assigned
The nearest truck with that size loaded takes your drop. You get the driver's name.
A Text When He's Close
About 20 minutes out, you get a text — no waiting around all afternoon.
Dropped On Boards
Set where you mark it, with planks under the rails to protect the driveway.
Pickup When You Call
Seven days included. Call when it's full and it's usually gone the next day.
Dumpsters Stay Loaded And Ready
Most dumpster companies book two or three days out because every container is already on a job. Selden keeps part of the fleet empty on purpose — loaded on trucks across Polk County every morning — so a same-day order is a normal order, not a favor. It started in 2018 when our owner lost a weekend waiting for a dumpster during a move. Now the promise is simple: order by noon and it's yours the same afternoon, six days a week.
- ✓Empty dumpsters on trucks every morning

Same Day, As Promised
Our pipe burst on a Thursday morning and the flooring had to come out that day. I called at 9:40, the dumpster was in the driveway by 1:30, and the crew filled it before dark.
Closing on the house was Monday and the garage was still full. They dropped a 15 at lunchtime on Saturday and picked it up Monday at seven. Saved the sale.
The text with the driver's arrival time is the best part. I didn't have to wait around all afternoon — I knew he'd be there at three, and he was.

Same Day Dumpster Questions
How late can I order a same-day dumpster?
Order by noon, Monday to Saturday, for a same-afternoon drop. After noon, call — if a truck is free we'll still get there today, otherwise it's first thing tomorrow.
Does same day cost extra?
No. The price is the same whether you want it today or next week.
Do I need to be home?
No. Mark the spot and keep the driveway clear. We'll text a photo once it's down.
How much is a same-day dumpster in Lakeland?
A 10-yard is $299, a 15-yard $349, a 20-yard $399 and a 30-yard $469 — each with delivery, pickup, 7 days and the weight shown. Extra weight is $70 a ton.
What if I fill it early?
Order a swap-out for $275 and we bring an empty one the same day, if you call before noon.
Is a street spot OK?
Sometimes, but many cities want a permit for street placement. Check local rules — the driveway is usually simplest.
What about my concrete?
No — the driver lays wide planks down first and lowers the dumpster onto them, so the rails never touch the concrete.
