Powells Crossroads is a Sequatchie Valley town of about 1,300 residents — 1,322 counted in the 2010 census, across 4.4 square miles of town limits — built, as the name says, around a crossroads: State Route 283 meets State Route 27 here on the valley floor. Whitwell lies just west, across the Sequatchie River, and to the east Walden Ridge rises steeply, much of its face protected within Prentice Cooper State Forest. The town is part of the Chattanooga metropolitan area on paper, but its daily texture is valley farm life — long-held family properties, churches and ballfields, and a growing number of newer homes built by people who work toward Chattanooga or Dunlap and come home to the valley.
Incorporated in 1976, Powells Crossroads is young as a municipality and old as a settlement — the crossroads itself served valley farms long before it had a town government. That split personality shows in the housing stock: mid-century farmhouses and brick ranches on acreage, manufactured homes on family lots, and newer construction filling in along the highways. Nearly every property has an outbuilding, and most outbuildings have been collecting the overflow of two or three generations.
The dumpster work follows that pattern. TriStateDumpIt delivers roll-offs across Powells Crossroads for estate and farm cleanouts, barn and shed tear-downs, roofing and multi-room renovations on the valley's housing stock, storm cleanup off the ridge slopes, and land clearing where pasture meets the woods below Prentice Cooper. Every rental carries a 14-day period, with pricing printed in full at booking.

All Powells Crossroads rentals include 14 days, delivery, pickup, and the tonnage shown with each size. The only extras are weight past the included tons at $75 per ton and extra days at $10 per day — both on the booking before you confirm, so the price conversation is finished before the truck rolls.
$250 with 2 tons included. Fits a garage or attic cleanout, a kitchen or bath remodel, a fence-line cleanup, or one room's flooring and trim in a valley home.
$325 with 2 tons included. Sized for multi-room renovations, roofing tear-offs, deck replacements, and taking down a storage shed that has reached the end of its usefulness.
$415 with 2 tons included, overage at $75 per ton and extra days at $10 per day. The common pick for whole-home cleanouts and barn or outbuilding demolitions; full terms are on the 20-yard dumpster page.
$625 with 4 tons included. For whole-house guts, new construction, and the largest farm cleanouts and demolition jobs in town.

Powells Crossroads pricing is $250 for the 12-yard, $325 for the 16-yard, $415 for the 20-yard, and $625 for the 30-yard, each including a 14-day rental period. The 12-, 16-, and 20-yard sizes include 2 tons of weight and the 30-yard includes 4 tons. Anything beyond the included weight bills at $75 per ton, and extra days bill at $10 per day — both rates printed on your booking before you pay. Call (256) 548-6021 with sizing questions.
A one-room project in a Powells Crossroads home — a bath, a kitchen floor, a laundry room — fits the 12-yard ($250). Renovations crossing several rooms, or a roofing tear-off with decking, generally need the 16-yard ($325) or 20-yard ($415). A whole-house gut, down-to-studs work, takes the 30-yard ($625). Valley homes often add a wrinkle: the porch, the carport, and the shed get cleaned out in the same week, so count those volumes in before you settle on a size.
Fourteen days come with every rental in Powells Crossroads. Weekend-paced cleanouts and most contractor work finish inside the window. If a job runs past it, extra days are $10 per day — call (256) 548-6021 before the pickup date, and the extension is recorded on the order rather than charged as a surprise after the fact.
Two tons are included with the 12-, 16-, and 20-yard containers, and 4 tons with the 30-yard. Loads are weighed after pickup, and weight past the included amount bills at $75 per ton. Local loads that run heavy are roofing tear-offs, rain-soaked storm debris off the ridge slopes, and demolition material from older barns. If your project is dense more than it is bulky, that argues for the larger container even at the same volume.
Standard project debris is welcome: household junk and furniture, drywall, lumber, roofing, flooring, fencing, and yard debris. Load heavy material low and spread evenly, and keep the pile at or below the top rail. What stays out is hazardous and regulated material — fuels, oils, solvents, pesticides, asbestos, tires, and batteries. Powells Crossroads properties produce the usual farm-shelf questions, so if something on a shelf or in a drum looks questionable, call (256) 548-6021 before it goes in.
Yes. Town limits are a line on a map here, not a service boundary — we deliver to farms and homes along SR 283 and SR 27 and on the rural roads toward the river and up toward the ridge. Long gravel drives and field-edge placements are routine. Note any gate, cattle guard, or soft turnaround on the booking, and the driver will place the container where loading is easy and pickup stays possible in any weather.
In most cases, yes — driveway placement is the standard setup in Powells Crossroads, on concrete, gravel, and packed drives alike. What the truck needs is firm ground and room to set the container down and later winch it back up. If the drive is soft after rain or the only approach crosses a septic field, tell us when booking and we will choose a placement that protects both the property and the schedule.
Yes — one container handles both, and most local jobs combine them: furniture and stored household goods alongside drywall, lumber, and shingles. Put dense construction debris in first and low, household items on top, and keep everything below the top rail for the haul. The single firm exception is hazardous material, which never goes in regardless of what else is loaded.
Yes, and they are a staple of the valley work around Powells Crossroads. A small barn or a cluster of sheds usually fits the 20-yard ($415); a full-size barn tear-down typically needs the 30-yard ($625), sometimes twice over for the largest structures. Farm cleanouts that span house, barn, and equipment shed are best sized in a short phone call to (256) 548-6021 — two minutes of describing the buildings beats guessing from the road.
Yes. Brush, limbs, and yard waste go in, and storm cleanup off Walden Ridge adds plenty of it. Weight is the watch-out: green brush and storm-soaked wood are much heavier than dry material, and included tonnage disappears quickly on a big clearing. Size up for large clears, and keep dirt and root balls out where practical — soil is pure scale weight. Call (256) 548-6021 for anything beyond ordinary vegetation.
Yes. Whitwell is minutes west across the Sequatchie River, Jasper is down the valley to the southwest, and Dunlap continues up the valley to the northeast. Powells Crossroads sits mid-valley, and our route through it regularly links all four communities — a property in town and a property in Whitwell can be served on the same day's run.
Regularly. Contractors roofing and remodeling across the valley use us for job-site containers, and landlords book us when a rental between Whitwell and Dunlap turns over with belongings left behind. Repeat and multi-container work is arranged with one call to (256) 548-6021, and we will keep your usual size and placement notes on file for the next job.
Use the online booking page — pick the size, choose the delivery date, and review the full price, including the included tons, the $75-per-ton overage rate, and the $10-per-day extension rate, before you confirm. Or call (256) 548-6021 and describe the job to a person; barn and estate work around Powells Crossroads is often easier sized from a conversation than from a form.
Two separate things, both simple. Fill early: call (256) 548-6021 and we will pull the full container and set an empty one if the job continues. Go over on weight: the included tons are 2 on the 12-, 16-, and 20-yard and 4 tons on the 30-yard, and the excess bills at the $75-per-ton rate printed on your booking. Neither one is a penalty — they are just the published terms, visible before you ever book.
A whole-house renovation in the valley usually means the household keeps living ten feet from the work. Our mobile storage units give that furniture, and everything else in the way, a dry place on your own property for $175, billed every 28 days — the cycle is 28 days rather than a calendar month, so renewals step earlier by a few days each cycle. Load at ground level as rooms empty, keep the unit for one cycle or for the length of the project, and we collect it when the last room is back together.
Construction sites, farm projects, and outdoor events around Powells Crossroads all share one logistics gap: no restroom where the work is. Our porta potty rentals are $140, billed every 28 days, with delivery, placement, servicing during the rental, and pickup included. Add one to a dumpster order for a build or a barn project, or rent one on its own for a valley gathering — either way it arrives clean and leaves with us when the job is done.
