New Hope wraps around the south side of a U-shaped bend of the Tennessee River in Marion County, just downstream from Nickajack Dam, with the town boundary reaching south to the Alabama state line. State Route 156 runs east to west through town, tying New Hope to US-72 in South Pittsburg on one end and toward I-24 near Haletown on the other. The river defines daily life here — boat ramps, riverbank lots, fishing camps, and homes that look out over Nickajack Lake — while the inland side of TN-156 is farm and woodland running up toward Sand Mountain.
The town's own history is younger than the riverbend it sits on. New Hope was first known as Antioch and incorporated in 1974 specifically to head off an annexation attempt by South Pittsburg, taking its name from the local church and cemetery. Crossings came before bridges: until the Shelby Rhinehart Bridge — the blue steel span locals call the Blue Bridge — opened in 1981, the South Pittsburg Ferry, known as the Sharon, carried travelers across at this bend. The dam that shapes the modern river was finished by TVA in 1967: Nickajack Dam stands 81 feet high and 3,767 feet long, holds a lock that can lift as many as nine large barges at once, and backs up a reservoir with about 10,370 acres of water surface and 179 miles of shoreline. On TN-156 in New Hope, the Maple View Day Use Area gives shore access to Nickajack Cave, designated in 1992 as Tennessee's first non-game wildlife refuge, where thousands of endangered gray bats pour out at dusk from late April into early fall. The Shrine of Our Lady Virgin of the Poor, built in 1982 by Benedictine monks as a replica of a Belgian shrine, draws a quieter stream of visitors to the same corridor.
For property work, New Hope splits into two kinds of jobs: river-side projects — dock and deck rebuilds, boathouse cleanouts, renovations on lake-view lots — and inland projects along TN-156 and the roads climbing toward the state line, where farms and older homes generate cleanouts, roofing work, and outbuilding tear-downs. TriStateDumpIt serves both with roll-off dumpsters on a 14-day rental, priced at booking with delivery calculated by distance.

Each New Hope rental includes 14 days and the tonnage listed below, with delivery and pickup in the quoted price. The only additional charges are weight past the included tons at $75 per ton and extra rental days at $10 per day — both printed on the booking before you confirm, so a river-lot job and an inland farm job are priced by the same visible math.
$250 with 2 tons included. Right for a garage or boathouse cleanout, a dock-side shed, a bathroom remodel, or yard debris from a riverbank lot that has collected a few seasons of drift and clutter.
$325 with 2 tons included. Handles multi-room renovations, a roofing tear-off on a TN-156 home, deck replacement — common work on lake-view houses — and small rental turnovers.
$415 with 2 tons included, overage at $75 per ton, extra days at $10 per day. The common choice for whole-home cleanouts and larger remodels on both sides of the highway; full terms sit on the 20-yard dumpster page.
$625 with 4 tons included. Reserved for the largest New Hope jobs: whole-house guts, new construction, and demolition of barns or older structures toward the state line.

New Hope pricing runs $250 for a 12-yard, $325 for a 16-yard, $415 for a 20-yard, and $625 for a 30-yard container, with a 14-day rental included in every price. The 12-, 16-, and 20-yard sizes include 2 tons of weight; the 30-yard includes 4 tons. Weight beyond that is $75 per ton and extra days are $10 per day, and both figures are shown on your booking before payment — no line items appear afterward. Call (256) 548-6021 to talk a job through.
A single bathroom or a kitchen floor tear-out fits the 12-yard ($250). Renovations touching several rooms of a river-bend home — or a roofing job with decking repairs — usually need the 16-yard ($325) or 20-yard ($415). A full interior gut, the kind done before a lake house changes hands or a TN-156 farmhouse is rebuilt inside, belongs in the 30-yard ($625). Decks deserve respect in the estimate: treated lumber is dense, and a big lakeside deck can fill a mid-size box by itself.
Yes. Deliveries run the length of New Hope, from the dam end of TN-156 and the Maple View area through the river-bend neighborhoods to the rural roads toward the Alabama line. River properties sometimes mean a sloping drive, a lot that narrows toward the bank, or a placement spot that must stay clear of a septic field — mention the layout when you book and the driver will set the container where it loads easily without tearing up the yard.
For a container on private property — your driveway, lot, or job site — New Hope customers ordinarily need nothing extra. Placing one on a public street or within a road right-of-way is where you should check with local officials first, since TN-156 is a state route and its shoulders are not a legal parking spot for a roll-off. A private placement sidesteps the question, and (256) 548-6021 can help you pick the spot.
Driveway placement is the norm in New Hope, for in-town homes and for the longer drives out along TN-156. On river lots the driveway is often gravel or chip-seal and sometimes pitched toward the water; firm, reasonably level ground is what the truck needs. If your drive is steep or the turnaround is tight between the house and the bank, flag it at booking so placement is planned rather than improvised.
Yes — brush, limbs, leaves, and clearing debris are routine New Hope loads, especially after Tennessee Valley storms drop trees on river lots. One caution: storm debris that has sat in or near the water comes out heavy, and driftwood and saturated limbs burn through included tonnage quickly. For a large clearing, step up a size rather than paying overage on a small box. Call (256) 548-6021 with questions about anything beyond ordinary vegetation.
Out stays hazardous and regulated material: fuel, oil, paint and solvents, pesticides, asbestos, tires, batteries, and appliances with refrigerant still in the system. River properties add a few local regulars to that list of questions — old boat fuel, treated dock timbers, and drums left by a previous owner. Ask before you load them; a two-minute call to (256) 548-6021 beats having a load refused at pickup.
Two tons are included with the 12-, 16-, and 20-yard containers, and 4 tons with the 30-yard. The load is weighed after pickup, and weight past the included amount bills at $75 per ton. In New Hope, the loads that exceed the allowance are usually roofing, wet storm debris, and demolition material from older outbuildings — all dense, all predictable once you know the rate is printed on the booking from the start.
The rental period is 14 days on every size. Most river-lot remodels and household cleanouts finish inside it. When a project runs long — contractor delays are a fact of life on lake work — additional days cost $10 per day. Call (256) 548-6021 before the scheduled pickup to extend; an extended rental is a line on the order, not a negotiation at the curb.
Yes. Contractors remodeling lake houses and roofing along TN-156 use us for job-site containers, and landlords use us when a New Hope rental turns over and the previous tenant leaves a houseful behind. Repeat customers can hold a standing pattern — usual size, usual placement notes — so booking the next job takes one call to (256) 548-6021.
One container can carry both, and most New Hope projects do: household furniture and stored goods loaded with drywall, lumber, and shingles from the same house. Load dense construction material first and low, lighter household items toward the top, and keep everything below the top rail for the haul across the Blue Bridge. Hazardous items are the exception — those never go in, mixed or otherwise.
Call (256) 548-6021 as soon as you see the end coming — ideally when the box is about three-quarters full. We will schedule the pickup and, if the project still has debris coming, a replacement container, so the work does not stall waiting on a truck. Filling early is common on estate and whole-house jobs; it is a scheduling call, not a problem.
Book on the online booking page: choose the size, pick the delivery date, and review the whole price — included tons, $75-per-ton overage, $10-per-day extension — before confirming. Prefer to describe the property first? Call (256) 548-6021. River-lot access questions are easier settled in a short conversation than corrected on delivery day.
Yes. From New Hope the route crosses the Shelby Rhinehart Bridge into South Pittsburg, continues to Kimball and Jasper, and serves Haletown/Guild east on TN-156 as well as Bridgeport across the state line. Properties on both banks of this bend of the river — and both sides of the Tennessee-Alabama line — are part of the same regular service area.
Renovating a river-bend home usually means living in it while rooms are torn out, which is where a ground-level storage unit earns its keep. Our mobile storage units are placed on your New Hope property for $175, billed every 28 days — a four-week cycle rather than a calendar month, so each renewal falls a few days earlier than the last. Furniture, lake gear, and boxed belongings stay dry and on your property while the work proceeds, and you load and unload on your schedule. We deliver it empty, and we haul it away when the last room is finished.
Job sites along TN-156 and gatherings on river property both run better with a restroom on site. Our porta potty rentals are $140, billed every 28 days, with delivery, placement, servicing during the rental, and final pickup all included. New Hope customers add them to construction and roofing jobs, to farm work toward the state line, and to outdoor events near the lake — order alongside a dumpster and the site is fully set in one delivery.
