Big Rob's Hauling dump trailer unloading at a Polk County, FL landfill with the dozer working the face behind

Highland City is a census place, not a city, and most people who live there just say South Lakeland. It sits on US-98 south of Lakeland proper, roughly bounded by Clubhouse Road to the north and County Road 540A, also called Central Barn Road, to the south, with Strickland Avenue on the west. About 12,400 people as of 2020. It started as citrus and phosphate country in the late 1800s and grew into suburb.

The housing is suburban and settled: ranch homes and two-story stucco in subdivisions built from the 1980s onward, with older houses on bigger lots along the side roads. Lakeland Highlands is next door. It's a commuter area for Lakeland and Bartow, and the driveways hold trucks, boats and the garage overflow that comes with twenty years in one house.

What the work looks like in Highland City

Garages first. A two-car garage in a 1990s subdivision that hasn't parked a car since the kids were small is the classic Highland City call. Rob's crew loads what you point at, sweeps, and hauls it in one trailer. Estate cleanouts come from the same streets as the first owners move on.

Because it's 46 minutes from the yard, Rob likes to make the trip count. A full garage, a whole-house cleanout or a dump trailer rental for a remodel all make sense. A single mattress does too if he's already running to Lakeland or Bartow that day, which is often.

Questions

Highland City questions

Is Highland City the same as South Lakeland for your service area?

Close enough. Rob covers Highland City, Lakeland Highlands and the South Lakeland neighborhoods along US-98 as one run. If your address says Lakeland but you're south of Clubhouse Road, this is your page.

How quickly can you get out to Highland City?

Usually the next day. It's about 46 minutes from Davenport, so Rob books it with his Lakeland and Bartow stops. Call before noon and ask; some days a truck is already headed that way.

Can I get a dump trailer dropped in my Highland City driveway?

Yes. The 14 and 16-yard trailers fit a standard suburban driveway. Rob drops it himself and picks it up on a set day, both planned around the drive.

Ready for it to be gone from Highland City?

Call before noon and it's usually gone today. Or text a photo of the pile and Rob sends back a flat quote.
