St. Elmo is a Chattanooga neighborhood at the very foot of Lookout Mountain whose history is written into its street plan — named for Augusta Jane Evans' 1866 novel, it grew up in the late 1800s as a Victorian streetcar suburb, and Queen Anne and Craftsman houses still line its streets inside the St. Elmo Historic District, with the Incline Railway's lower station on St. Elmo Avenue, shops and eateries along Tennessee Avenue, Ruby Falls just up the mountainside and Cravens House above. TriState Dump It rents mobile storage in St. Elmo the simple way — one 16-ft steel unit, delivered and set where you point, at $175 every 28 days for as long as you keep it.

Delivered to St. Elmo, the mobile storage container is a 16-ft steel unit that sits at ground level in your driveway or yard. There are no steps and no lift to wrestle — you walk loads in. The box is weather-tight and lockable, and you hold the only key because the padlock is your own. That ground-level room runs $175 per 28-day cycle, with delivery and pickup priced by the run from Bridgeport — a short run to the foot of Lookout Mountain from downtown Chattanooga. Our fleet is 10 units rotating between jobs, which is why a call ahead secures the delivery day you actually want.
The work that fills them here is easy to recognize: preservation-minded renovations of Queen Anne and Craftsman houses, and staging for sales inside the historic district. Set it once and the container works at your pace: load a room tonight, lock it, come back Saturday. When it stands empty, one call brings our truck back for it.

The cycle price in St. Elmo, TN is $175 for the 16-ft container, billed every 28 days — never by the calendar, so there is no short-month math to argue with. Because our truck comes a short run to the foot of Lookout Mountain from downtown Chattanooga, delivery is priced per address and confirmed before you book — the cycle rate itself never moves. The promise is kept the same way near Victorian and Craftsman homes along Tennessee Avenue as anywhere else.
We haul the container from our Bridgeport yard and set it at ground level where you point us — in St. Elmo that usually means runs along Tennessee Avenue and St. Elmo Avenue, into driveways, side yards, farm lots and job sites across the community. With ground that is historic-district lots, mostly level, with the mountain rising straight behind them, the two-minute access conversation at booking is what makes delivery day uneventful. One call to (256) 663-3954 is all it ever takes to start, change or end it.
A 16-ft unit swallows the contents of two average rooms — sofas, beds, a dining set, dressers — plus boxed goods and tools, and still leaves you a path if you load it thoughtfully. Local loads follow the local work — preservation-minded renovations of Queen Anne and Craftsman houses, and staging for sales inside the historic district — and the rule that helps every one of them is heavy furniture low and first, labeled boxes where you can reach them. Regulars around the Incline Railway lower station on St. Elmo Avenue plan on exactly that.
Placement in St. Elmo wants three things: level ground, firm footing and truck access for setting and for the eventual pickup. Access along Tennessee Avenue and St. Elmo Avenue is good across St. Elmo; the last stretch onto your property is the part to describe honestly when you book. It holds along Tennessee Avenue and St. Elmo Avenue and everywhere off them.
Cycle to cycle, for as long as the project lasts. Each cycle is 28 days at $175, and the unit simply stays until you call for pickup. That rhythm suits local work like preservation-minded renovations of Queen Anne and Craftsman houses, and staging for sales inside the historic district, which almost never ends on the date first circled — the rental flexes with the project instead of expiring mid-job. That is the same answer we give out by the Incline Railway lower station on St. Elmo Avenue.
Store what a steel box is good at: household furniture, boxed goods, tools, fixtures, materials, and farm or business equipment — the everyday contents of St. Elmo homes and jobs. The off-limits list protects your own goods as much as the unit: no fuel, no chemicals, no paint, no perishables, nothing illegal. If you are unsure about something, one quick call settles it. Crews running Tennessee Avenue and St. Elmo Avenue hear it from us weekly.
The unit is secured by your own padlock from the first load. We do not keep a key, a code or a copy — that is deliberate, and it is the point. It is a small detail with a long shadow: insurance, crews and family all come and go, but the contents answer to one key — yours. The local ground — historic-district lots, mostly level, with the mountain rising straight behind them — changes none of it.
The units are weather-tight steel by design: sealed against driving rain and built for outdoor placement in Hamilton County weather. Storms that build over historic-district lots, mostly level, with the mountain rising straight behind them are normal here, and the units are made for precisely that. Set furniture on blankets or pallets and keep boxes off the very bottom layer, and everything rides the weather out dry. Hosts and crews around Victorian and Craftsman homes along Tennessee Avenue count on the same terms.
Yes — staging is one of the most common St. Elmo uses. Clear the extra furniture, the garage overflow and the closets into a container in your own driveway, photograph a tidy house, and move at your own pace after closing. Real-estate photos along Tennessee Avenue and St. Elmo Avenue tell the story: the staged listings are the ones with a container in the drive and space in every room. It is the arrangement most St. Elmo regulars reorder without shopping around.
Yes. Crews working in St. Elmo keep tools, fixtures and materials locked on site in a container instead of hauling them back and forth every day — the saws and supplies are waiting each morning, secured each night, and out of the weather the whole job long. Schools, churches and small businesses near the Incline Railway lower station on St. Elmo Avenue use containers for classroom and event overflow on the same terms: ground level, your lock, $175 a cycle. Property owners out toward the Incline Railway lower station on St. Elmo Avenue get the identical deal.
Yes. A container gives a settling family a place to sort: keep what the family is dividing in the locked unit on site, work through the rooms at a respectful pace, and let nothing leave the property until decisions are made. When the last room is decided, one call brings us back along Tennessee Avenue and St. Elmo Avenue to collect the empty unit and close the rental. That holds for a one-cycle job and a season-long one alike.
Start online for standard orders; call (256) 663-3954 for tight access, steep ground or a date you need held — the phone earns its keep on the odd sites. We keep 10 units in the fleet and they rotate through jobs constantly, so a few days of lead time — a short run to the foot of Lookout Mountain from downtown Chattanooga — gets you the set day you are aiming for. It is why the St. Elmo route stays busy in every season.
All three ride on one call in St. Elmo: dumpsters in 12, 16, 20 and 30 yards at $270, $325, $415 and $625 with 14-day rentals, and porta potties at $140 per 28-day cycle. Many St. Elmo remodels book all three at once: container for the keepers, dumpster for the tear-out, porta potty for the crew. One booking, one local company, one call. Neighbors along Tennessee Avenue and St. Elmo Avenue will tell you the same.
Yes — St. Elmo renovations often mean original fixtures, trim and furniture that cannot be replaced, and those pieces deserve better than a garage pile. The container keeps them locked and dry on site, at ground level, steps from the work, and it leaves quietly when the restoration is done.
Storage delivery in and around St. Elmo follows Tennessee Avenue and St. Elmo Avenue and the local roads feeding them, out past the Incline Railway lower station on St. Elmo Avenue and across the surrounding Hamilton County ground. Because the terrain is historic-district lots, mostly level, with the mountain rising straight behind them, the booking call includes a two-minute access conversation — gates, grades, low limbs — so delivery day holds no surprises. Beyond the town line is fine: call (256) 663-3954 to check your address.
The other half of a St. Elmo cleanup is a dumpster in St. Elmo: 12-yard at $270, 16-yard at $325, 20-yard at $415, 30-yard at $625, 14 days included on every size. Add one to your container booking and the whole property job — storage and debris — rides on a single call.
