Orme is a town of roughly 100 residents at the end of Orme Road, in a cove at the southern end of the Sequatchie Valley hard against the Alabama state line. Getting there is part of the place: one long, winding road in, plateau walls on both sides, and a community that has been self-sufficient out of necessity for more than a century. The houses are a mix of farmsteads, cabins, and cottages that date to the town's mining era, many of them holding the layered accumulation that comes from families staying in one cove for generations.
Orme began as Needmore, a coal camp established in the early 1890s. After the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway built its branch line into the valley in 1902, Richard Orme Campbell renamed the town for his son and ran it as the Campbell Coal and Coke Company town — commissary, office building, workers' cottages, schools, and a hotel — and at its height the mines shipped about 1,000 tons of coal a day out of the valley. The large-scale operation ended in 1941 as the accessible coal played out, and in 1942 the railroad pulled up the tracks; the abandoned rail bed became, for the most part, the country road that still leads into Orme. Smaller-scale mining under individual subleases continued until about 1970, with coal trucked out to the cement plant at Richard City and later to TVA's Widows Creek Steam Plant. The wood-frame railroad depot still stands in the center of town, and Russell Cave National Monument — an archaeological site with a long record of prehistoric cultures in the Southeast — is about four miles away.
Present-day Orme projects are quieter than coal, but they are heavy work all the same: cleaning out a miner's cottage that has not been emptied in decades, renovating an older home at the end of a gravel drive, taking down a barn or smokehouse, or clearing storm damage off a mountain lot. TriStateDumpIt delivers roll-off dumpsters the full length of Orme Road for exactly that work, with a 14-day rental period on every container and delivery priced by distance at booking.

Every Orme rental runs 14 days, and the booking shows the full price up front: container, delivery down Orme Road, pickup, and the included tonnage below. The only extras are weight past the included tons at $75 per ton and extra days at $10 per day — both printed before you confirm the order.
$250 with 2 tons included. Fits the cottage-scale jobs: a porch and attic cleanout, a single-room renovation in an older Orme home, brush from a yard that has crept toward the woods, or the contents of one outbuilding.
$325 with 2 tons included. Sized for multi-room work — roofing tear-offs on valley homes, deck and porch rebuilds, or a small barn or shed coming down piece by piece.
$415 with 2 tons included, overage at $75 per ton and extra days at $10 per day. The workhorse for a full single-story cleanout or a larger renovation in the cove; see the 20-yard dumpster page for full terms.
$625 with 4 tons included. For whole-house guts, estate cleanouts spanning a house plus outbuildings, and demolition-scale projects where a smaller box would mean a second trip down Orme Road.

Prices in Orme are $250 for the 12-yard, $325 for the 16-yard, $415 for the 20-yard, and $625 for the 30-yard, each with 14 days included. The three smaller sizes carry 2 tons of included weight and the 30-yard carries 4 tons. Anything past the included weight bills at $75 per ton, and days past the rental period bill at $10 per day — both rates appear on your booking before you pay, which matters on a long delivery run like Orme Road. Questions: call (256) 548-6021.
Start with how many rooms and how many decades. A cottage with a room or two of furniture plus an attic usually fills the 12-yard ($250). A full single-story house that has been lived in for forty years typically needs the 16-yard ($325) or 20-yard ($415), especially once porch furniture, a shed, and stored lumber join the load. A whole-house gut or a house-plus-outbuildings estate job belongs in the 30-yard ($625).
Yes — Orme Road is the only way in, and we run it for Orme deliveries. Because the road is long and winding with tight stretches, it helps to mention low branches, a narrow gate, a soft turnaround, or a steep gravel drive when you book. The driver will work out a placement that the truck can reach and still get back out of, loaded, when the rental ends.
On your own land — driveway, yard, or lot — Orme customers place containers without a permit in the ordinary course of things. A container that would sit on a public road or in a right-of-way is a different question; check with Marion County or town officials before delivery, since Orme Road is narrow and a blocked lane is a real problem for neighbors. Call (256) 548-6021 and we can usually find a private-ground spot that avoids the issue.
Usually, yes, and driveway or yard placement is how most Orme jobs are set. Cove properties often have gravel or packed-earth drives rather than concrete; a firm, fairly level stretch works fine. If your drive climbs steeply off Orme Road or turns sharply, tell us when booking — placing the container near the road end of the drive is often the practical answer, and the driver will confirm on arrival.
Yes. Plateau storms drop limbs across Orme properties regularly, and brush, downed fencing, and storm debris are standard loads here. Fresh-cut green wood carries a lot of water weight, so a large clearing can eat the included tonnage faster than the same pile dried out — size up a notch for big storm cleanups. Keep stumps with heavy root-ball dirt to a minimum, since soil adds scale weight without adding project value.
Hazardous and regulated items stay out: fuel and oil, solvents, pesticides, asbestos, tires, batteries, and charged refrigeration equipment. Older Orme properties sometimes turn up coal-era remnants — old oil drums, treated timbers, mystery tins in a cellar — and those deserve a call to (256) 548-6021 before they go in the box, not after. Everything ordinary from a house, barn, or job site is fine.
The 12-, 16-, and 20-yard containers include 2 tons apiece, and the 30-yard includes 4 tons. Loads are weighed after pickup, and any amount past the included tonnage is billed at $75 per ton. In Orme the loads that run heavy are wet brush, old roofing, and the damp contents of cellars and outbuildings that have taken on valley moisture for years — another reason to size the container generously on estate work.
Fourteen days, included in the rental price. A cottage cleanout paced around family help on weekends usually fits comfortably. If the job stretches — sorting an estate rarely follows a schedule — extra days are $10 per day. Just call (256) 548-6021 ahead of your pickup date so the extension is on the order and the truck does not come down Orme Road early.
Yes, though in Orme that usually means a roofer or remodeler working on one house at a time, or a landlord turning over one of the valley rentals between tenants. We coordinate delivery around your crew's start date and can set a second container on the same run if the job grows. Call (256) 548-6021 to line up repeat or multi-container work anywhere in the southern valley.
You can, and most Orme cleanouts do exactly that — furniture and stored household goods in with torn-out paneling, lumber, and shingles. Put dense material in first and low, lighter household items on top, and keep the load level with the top rail so it tarps safely for the trip out of the cove. The one firm rule is keeping hazardous items out of the mix entirely.
Call (256) 548-6021 and we will arrange the next step — usually a pickup of the full container and, if the job needs it, a fresh one set in its place. On Orme jobs it is worth saying early rather than late: the run in and out takes planning, and a call when the box is three-quarters full keeps your crew working instead of waiting on a swap.
The online booking page shows sizes, the delivery date picker, and the complete price — included tons, the $75-per-ton overage rate, and the $10-per-day extension rate — before you confirm. If your property has an access quirk, and many in the cove do, booking by phone at (256) 548-6021 is the better route: two minutes describing the drive saves the driver a surprise at the end of Orme Road.
Yes. Coming out of Orme, the route runs to South Pittsburg first, then Jasper and the rest of Marion County, and crosses the river into Alabama for Bridgeport and Stevenson. Russell Cave and the Doran's Cove side of the state line are on the same southern-valley run. If your project spans properties in Orme and down the valley, one call to (256) 548-6021 covers both ends of it.
An estate cleanout in the cove goes better when the keepers have somewhere to go that is not a damp back room. Our mobile storage units are delivered to your Orme property for $175, billed every 28 days — note the 28-day cycle, which keeps the service running in even four-week blocks instead of calendar months. Sort at your own pace, load furniture, records, and tools at ground level, and hold the unit for as many cycles as the job takes. When the sorting is done, the dumpster takes what is left and we collect both.
Work crews in Orme are a long way from the nearest public restroom, which makes a job-site unit practical rather than optional. Our porta potty rentals cost $140, billed every 28 days, covering delivery down Orme Road, placement, servicing during the rental, and pickup at the end. They serve renovation crews, land-clearing jobs, and the occasional cove gathering or reunion — add one to a dumpster order and a single delivery run brings everything your project needs.
