Sewanee, Tennessee sits atop the Cumberland Plateau in Franklin County at nearly 2,000 feet of elevation, and it is best known as the home of the University of the South. The university's 13,000-acre Domain — forests, meadows, lakes, caves, and bluffs laced with miles of hiking trails — wraps around a community of historic homes, faculty housing, and student rentals along TN-56. St. Andrew's-Sewanee School, the Episcopal boarding and day school serving grades 6–12, sits on its own 550-acre campus adjacent to the university. Monteagle is just west on I-24, Cowan lies a few miles south, and Tracy City sits up the plateau to the northeast.
Life on the Domain shapes the work here. The Perimeter Trail runs roughly 20 miles around the bluff line, past the 60-foot Memorial Cross completed in 1923, Lake Cheston, and Green's View, and the university counts more than 65 miles of trails and fire lanes across the property — so trailhead, overlook, and grounds projects sit alongside the everyday village work: leasehold homes being renovated between occupants, student rentals turning over at the end of the academic year, and older stone and timber houses that need plaster, flooring, and roofing hauled away in stages. Plateau weather adds its own jobs, from ice-storm limbs to wind-thrown trees along Breakfield Road and University Avenue. TriStateDumpIt rents roll-off dumpsters throughout Sewanee for all of it. Every rental includes a 14-day rental period. Book online in minutes or reach us by phone.

Every TriStateDumpIt dumpster rental in Sewanee includes a 14-day rental period, and the price you see is the price for the full term. Pick the container that matches the job:
$250 — Think of the 12-yard as the move-out and single-room box. It swallows a dorm-adjacent rental's leftover furniture, a garage bay of accumulated gear, attic contents, or the debris from one bathroom gut in a village cottage.
$325 — The 16-yard suits the layered remodels common in Sewanee's older leasehold homes — two or three rooms of flooring and plaster, a roofing tear-off on a modest house, a deck coming off, or a shed that has reached the end of its life.
$415 — Our most flexible mid-size option for whole-home cleanouts, estate work after a long tenancy, and renovation projects that generate steady debris over the full two weeks. It includes 2 tons of weight; weight past that is $75/ton and extra days are $10/day, both printed before booking.
$625 — The 30-yard is the construction container — full gut renovations, new builds on wooded lots, and campus-area contractor work where debris volume, not weight, drives the job.

Renting in Sewanee costs $250 for the 12-yard, $325 for the 16-yard, $415 for the 20-yard, and $625 for the 30-yard, and each price covers a full 14-day rental period. Pricing is printed before you book: the only possible extras are weight past the included tons at $75/ton and extra days at $10/day.
Start with what is coming out of the house. One room of flooring, cabinets, and fixtures fits the 12-yard at $250. Once you are into several rooms, old plaster, or a roof, most Sewanee remodels land in the 16-yard at $325 or the 20-yard at $415. A whole-house gut belongs in the 30-yard at $625 — call (256) 548-6021 and describe the rooms involved and we will sanity-check the size before you book.
May move-out is its own season in Sewanee. For a typical student rental — a mattress set, a desk, bagged clothing and kitchen gear, and a semester or four of accumulated odds and ends — the 12-yard at $250 is usually plenty. Clearing an entire furnished house between leaseholders, furniture and all, is 16-yard work at $325.
Yes — we regularly place containers for contractors and property managers working in the village and around the Domain, including housing renovations, facility cleanouts, and construction debris. Multi-container and phased jobs are easiest arranged by phone at (256) 548-6021 so delivery timing lines up with your crew.
Fourteen days are included with every Sewanee rental. If a renovation runs long — and plateau weather can stretch a schedule — call before your pickup date. Extra days are $10/day, stated up front, rather than a surprise on the final bill.
The 12-yard, 16-yard, and 20-yard each include 2 tons, and the 30-yard includes 4 tons. Weight past the included amount is billed at $75/ton. Plaster, shingles, and rain-soaked wood are the usual heavy culprits in Sewanee's older houses, so mention them when you book and we will help you size accordingly.
Yes. From Sewanee we also serve Monteagle to the west, Cowan down off the mountain to the south, and Tracy City to the northeast, along with the Marion County valley towns — South Pittsburg, Jasper, and Kimball — as part of our regular service area.
Yes — limbs, brush, and storm-damaged fencing and outbuilding debris are everyday plateau loads after the wind and ice events that cross the mountain. One caution: saturated wood gets heavy quickly, so if you are clearing a large lot, stepping up a size protects your included tonnage.
Yes. Roofers, remodelers, and builders working around the university use us for job-site containers, and landlords use us for turnovers between student tenants. If you rent repeatedly, call (256) 548-6021 and we will set jobs up the way that works best for your schedule.
In most cases, yes. Furniture and bagged household junk can share a container with drywall, lumber, and old flooring from the same project. If something unusual is in the mix — anything you are unsure about — call first and we will tell you plainly whether it can go in.
Yes. Our mobile storage units are $175, billed every 28 days — not a calendar-month charge. We set the unit at your Sewanee property and you load it at your own pace, which works well for holding furniture and boxes dry during a renovation or between leases.
Yes, we rent porta potty rentals in Sewanee for $140, billed every 28 days. They are a practical fit for job sites without finished plumbing, longer village remodels, and outdoor gatherings — delivered, serviced, and picked up by our crew.
The quickest route is the online booking page: choose a size, pick a delivery date, and the booking takes a few minutes. Prefer to talk it through? Call (256) 548-6021 and we will help you pick between sizes for your specific project.
Usually, yes — many Sewanee properties sit on lanes and wooded leasehold lots rather than wide subdivisions. Tell us about the driveway surface, any low limbs or tight turns, and where you want the container spotted when you book, and we will confirm placement before delivery day.
For homes near the bluff line and trailheads, a container at the driveway keeps limbs, old decking, and clearing debris from piling up along the road. Keep loads below the container's top rail so the tarp can close for the haul off the mountain.
Renovating a leasehold home or clearing a student rental between terms? Our mobile storage units are $175, billed every 28 days. We deliver the unit to your Sewanee property and you load it on your schedule — a dry, lockable place for furniture and boxes while work happens inside, without repeated trips down the mountain to a storage facility.
Village remodels, campus-area construction, and outdoor events around Sewanee can all run longer than a day without restroom access. Our porta potty rentals are $140, billed every 28 days — a serviced unit placed where your crew or guests need it, and removed when the job wraps up.
