Nestled at the very foot of Lookout Mountain, St. Elmo is one of Chattanooga's most storied historic neighborhoods — named for Augusta Jane Evans' bestselling 1866 novel "St. Elmo" and built up in the late 1800s as a Victorian streetcar suburb. The lower station of the world-famous Incline Railway sits on St. Elmo Avenue, Tennessee Avenue's shops and eateries hum with locals and tourists headed up the mountain, and the streets are lined with Queen Anne and Craftsman homes, many in the St. Elmo Historic District. With Ruby Falls' entrance just up the mountainside and Cravens House above, this is a neighborhood where historic preservation meets constant renovation. TriStateDumpIt delivers roll-off dumpster rentals right to your St. Elmo property — for whole-house historic renovations, carriage-house and garage cleanouts, roofing tear-offs, duplex and vacation-rental turnovers, and commercial build-outs along Tennessee Avenue. Our drivers are experienced with the neighborhood's narrow streets and tight driveways, and every rental includes a 14-day rental period with flat-rate pricing and no hidden fees. When St. Elmo needs a dumpster, TriStateDumpIt is the local company that actually shows up — book online in minutes or call us.

TriStateDumpIt prices in St. Elmo start at $250 for a 12-yard dumpster, $325 for a 16-yard, $415 for a 20-yard, and $625 for a 30-yard. Every price includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and a 14-day rental period. Overweight fees may apply if you exceed the included tonnage.
St. Elmo's Victorian and Craftsman homes often hide layers of old plaster, lath, and flooring — heavy stuff. A single-room remodel usually fits the 12-yard ($250), but multi-room historic renovations typically need the 20-yard ($415). If you're gutting the whole house, go with the 30-yard ($625).
St. Elmo is a Chattanooga neighborhood, so no permit is needed if the dumpster sits on your private property, such as a driveway. For placement on a public street or sidewalk, check with the City of Chattanooga first. If your home is in the St. Elmo Historic District, exterior work itself may need historic review — but the dumpster doesn't.
Yes. Our drivers deliver all over St. Elmo's older streets and are used to tight turns and narrow driveways near the Incline Railway station. If access is especially tight, call (256) 548-6021 beforehand and we'll plan the best drop spot with you.
No hazardous materials: no paint, chemicals, batteries, tires, fuel, oil, asbestos (common in pre-1978 homes — have it tested and abated separately), or electronics. Standard renovation debris — plaster, lath, wood, drywall, shingles, furniture — is all accepted.
Every TriStateDumpIt rental in St. Elmo includes a 14-day rental period. Historic renovations often uncover surprises, so if you need more time, just call us — extensions are available.
The 12-yard and 16-yard dumpsters include 2 tons of weight each, and the 30-yard includes 4 tons. Weight over the included amount is billed at our standard per-ton rate. See the 20-yard dumpster page for its current rental terms.
Absolutely. From St. Elmo we run regular routes up Lookout Mountain, through Lookout Valley and Tiftonia, and across to Wildwood and Flintstone, Georgia — all on the same local delivery schedule.
The fastest way is our online booking page — pick your size, choose your delivery date, and you're done in minutes. You can also call (256) 548-6021 and we'll book it for you.
If your load exceeds the included tonnage (2 tons on the 12- and 16-yard, 4 tons on the 30-yard), the extra weight is charged at our standard per-ton rate. Heads-up for historic renovations: plaster and old lumber are heavy — when in doubt, size up.
Yes. Contractors restoring St. Elmo's historic homes use us job after job, and investors use us for duplex conversions and rental turnovers near Tennessee Avenue. Call (256) 548-6021 for multi-container or repeat business.
Yes. One container can take both — furniture and household junk alongside plaster, lath, drywall, and lumber. Just keep hazardous items out, and load heavy materials first with lighter junk on top.
Clear the drop spot of vehicles, move trash cans and planters, and make sure the driver has a clear path down your street. On St. Elmo's narrowest streets, a quick call beforehand helps us plan the smoothest delivery.
Call us and we'll swap in an empty container so your renovation keeps moving. Swaps are common on whole-house historic renovations.
