Mentone, Alabama, stands on top of Lookout Mountain in DeKalb County at 1,708 feet — the highest elevation of any incorporated city in Alabama. Founded in the late 1800s by Iowa settler John Mason, who arrived in 1872, the town took its name when Mason's daughter Alice suggested "Mentone," after the French city of Menton, meaning "a musical mountain spring," for Dr. Frank Caldwell's new health resort. The Mentone Springs Hotel, built in 1884 around the mineral springs, received guests for 130 years before burning in March 2014, and the resort era also left St. Joseph's-on-the-Mountain Episcopal Church, built around Robert Vernon's 1854 cabin, the first house in the area. Mentone today, population 319, is a mountain town of galleries, restaurants, and inns along AL-117, with three arts festivals a year in May, July, and October, and Little River Canyon National Preserve and DeSoto State Park within easy reach. TriStateDumpIt delivers roll-off containers throughout Mentone for cabin and cottage renovation, whole-house cleanouts, roof tear-offs, estate projects, small commercial remodels, storm cleanup, and clearing mountain lots. Our drivers are accustomed to mountain grades and winding roads. Rentals include 14 days, and the only extras are weight past the included tons at $75 per ton and extra days at $10 per day, both printed before booking.

Mentone projects are defined by their setting — cabins, cottages, inns, and mountain houses rather than subdivisions — and the sizes below are matched accordingly. Delivery, pickup, disposal, and 14 days are included with each rental.
At $250 with 2 tons included, the 12-yard fits clearing out a cabin or cottage, a small kitchen or bathroom remodel, limbs felled by a storm, or stripping the floor of one room.
Priced at $325 with 2 tons included, the 16-yard covers renovating several rooms of a cabin, tearing off a roof, replacing a deck, and cleanouts of a middle size in mountain homes.
At $415 with 2 tons included, this container is for emptying a whole home, an extensive mountain-home renovation, an estate cleanout, and contractor work that needs more capacity than the 16-yard provides. Additional weight runs $75 per ton and additional days $10 per day; the 20-yard dumpster page gives the full terms.
At $625 with 4 tons included, the 30-yard takes a whole-house gut renovation, new mountain construction, commercial work, and the largest demolition projects on top of Lookout Mountain.

Mentone rentals cost $250 for the 12-yard, $325 for the 16-yard, $415 for the 20-yard, and $625 for the 30-yard, and each price includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and 14 days. Weight over the included tonnage is billed at $75 per ton and extra days at $10 per day, with both amounts printed before a booking is finished.
In most cases, yes. Deliveries across Lookout Mountain are regular work for our drivers, who are used to steep grades, winding roads, and hillside lots. Where a particular driveway is extremely steep or narrow, call (256) 548-6021 before booking and the safest set-down location can be planned with you.
Weight is the thing to respect in a Mentone cabin. Heavy timber, stone, and older roofing material accumulate quickly. One room fits the 12-yard at $250; a cabin renovation over several rooms generally needs the 16-yard at $325 or the 20-yard at $415; a whole-house gut or new mountain construction calls for the 30-yard at $625.
No permit is required while the container stands on private property, such as a driveway or a lot. If it needs to go on a public street in Mentone, check with the Town of Mentone first.
Yes. The small businesses along AL-117 — the inns, galleries, and restaurants that make up the town's commercial life — rent containers for remodels, cleanouts, and project debris. Commercial requirements can be arranged by calling (256) 548-6021.
Yes. Brush, limbs, leaves, and clearing debris can be loaded, which is a frequent requirement on Mentone's wooded mountain lots and especially so after a storm. Because wet wood is heavy, a large area of clearing argues for the next size up.
Hazardous materials are excluded without exception: no paint, chemicals, batteries, tires, fuel, oil, asbestos, or electronics. The ordinary debris of a mountain project — lumber, stone, metal, drywall, shingles, furniture, and brush — is accepted.
The standard Mentone term is 14 days. Mountain work and contractor schedules can both be shifted by weather, so if more time is needed, call and add days at $10 per day rather than working against the pickup date.
The 12-yard, 16-yard, and 20-yard containers each include 2 tons; the 30-yard includes 4 tons. Any weight beyond the allowance for the container on your property is charged at $75 per ton.
Yes. From Mentone, deliveries cover Fort Payne, Valley Head, and Hammondville in DeKalb County, and continue north into Georgia — Trenton and Rising Fawn — and on into Tennessee.
Both use our containers. Contractors rent them for cabin construction and remodels around Mentone, and vacation-rental owners for turnovers and cleanouts between guests. Call (256) 548-6021 to arrange multiple containers or recurring work.
One container can carry both kinds of material: furniture and household items together with lumber, drywall, and shingles. Keep anything hazardous out of the load, and put the heavy pieces in first with lighter material above.
Book through the online booking page by choosing a size and a delivery date, or call (256) 548-6021 and talk with a person here who can help pick the container and complete the booking.
A container that fills early can be collected and replaced with an empty one, so the job continues. A container that runs heavy is billed by its scale weight: past the included tonnage — 2 tons on the 12-, 16-, and 20-yard, 4 tons on the 30-yard — the excess is $75 per ton, from the actual scale ticket. With stone and old roofing both dense, sizing up is worth considering when the debris is mostly that kind of material.
Furniture removed for a cabin renovation in Mentone needs somewhere to wait that is not a mountain drive away. A mobile storage unit placed on your property costs $175, billed every 28 days and is loaded on your schedule — useful in a town where the nearest storage facility is down the mountain.
Construction sites, outdoor weddings, and events in Mentone — festival season included — can be supplied with a porta potty rental at $140, billed every 28 days. Our team delivers the unit, services it during the rental, and removes it afterward.
