Trash & Recycling Collection

The Town of Selma ensures its citizens will receive a prompt and high-quality service provided by the Public Works Department regarding sanitation collections. Direct servicing from Town of Selma employees promises faster cart deliveries, quicker response times and a better ease of customer service by directly contacting Town Hall.

Selma residents have been assigned one specific day for all collection types to be removed, based on address. For questions regarding the collection day for a specific address, please contact Town Hall at (919)965-9841.

The following must be properly placed by the road prior to your scheduled collection day:

All Garbage Carts

ALL CARTS, PILES AND ITEMS MUST BE SURROUNDED BY AT LEAST TWO FEET OF EMPTY SPACE. If blocked by vehicles or any other items, the robotic truck arm will not be able to access items.
