Sherwood is a Franklin County community in the Crow Creek Valley, where State Route 56 is the only major highway in or out — climbing more than 1,000 feet north to Sewanee on top of the Cumberland Plateau, and continuing south across the state line into Alabama as State Route 117, down the valley toward Stevenson where Crow Creek meets the Tennessee River. Valley farms, older homes along the highway, and properties strung up the side hollows make up a community that has always run on its own resources, because the road out is long in both directions.
The valley's working history is written in stone on the valley floor. Sherwood began as a railroad stop — Catchings Station, named for station master Meridith Catchings — created with the other Crow Creek Valley stops after the Cowan Tunnel, five miles north, was completed in 1852; pusher engines based at Sherwood still help trains up the steep grade to that tunnel. In 1878 the stop was renamed for Charles D. Sherwood, whose Tennessee Immigration and Land Company colony was chartered that year. Byron Gager bought most of the Sherwood land in 1892 and built the Gager Lime Manufacturing Company on the valley's high-quality limestone; the plant ran until 1949, the town counted about 1,700 residents in the 1930 census, and the castle-like ruins of the lime works — silos and kilns in an unusual mix of Egyptian Revival and Gothic Revival styling — still stand in the community, prominent enough to land on the Tennessee Preservation Trust's endangered-properties list in 2002–2003. The Epiphany Episcopal Mission, established in 1899, adds a second landmark layer; its church was first built in 1902, and the 1928 structure survives as a maintained partial ruin beside the current building.
What remains is a valley of farms and long-held family land, where the project list runs to barn tear-downs, farm cleanouts measured in decades, renovations of valley farmhouses, and storm debris out of the hollows. TriStateDumpIt serves Sherwood with roll-off dumpsters delivered down SR-56 from either direction, every rental on a 14-day period with the full price printed at booking.

Sherwood rentals include 14 days, delivery down the valley, pickup, and the tonnage listed with each size. The only charges beyond the quote are weight past the included tons at $75 per ton and extra days at $10 per day — both printed on the booking before you confirm, which matters when every trip in and out is a mountain road.
$250 with 2 tons included. Fits a garage or attic cleanout, a small kitchen or bath remodel, yard debris, or one room's flooring tear-out in a valley home.
$325 with 2 tons included. Handles multi-room renovations, roofing tear-offs, deck replacements, and a shed or barn lean-to coming down.
$415 with 2 tons included, overage at $75 per ton and extra days at $10 per day. The usual choice for whole-home cleanouts, larger farm cleanups, and mid-size barn tear-downs; the 20-yard dumpster page carries the full terms.
$625 with 4 tons included. For whole-house guts, new construction, and the biggest farm and demolition jobs in the Crow Creek Valley.

Sherwood pricing is $250 for the 12-yard, $325 for the 16-yard, $415 for the 20-yard, and $625 for the 30-yard, each with a 14-day rental period included. The 12-, 16-, and 20-yard containers include 2 tons of weight and the 30-yard includes 4 tons. Weight beyond the included amount bills at $75 per ton, and extra days bill at $10 per day — both rates printed on the booking before you pay. Call (256) 548-6021 to talk through a valley job.
Yes. SR-56 is the road, and we run it from both directions — down off the plateau from the Sewanee side and up the valley from the Alabama side where it becomes SR-117. One road in does not change the service; it just means delivery timing and placement deserve a real conversation at booking. Tell us about a steep hollow drive, a creek crossing, or a narrow bridge on your approach, and the driver will plan around it.
Fourteen days are included with every Sherwood rental. Valley cleanouts worked at a family pace usually fit; jobs waiting on weather in the hollows or on a contractor coming over the mountain sometimes do not. Extra days are $10 per day — call (256) 548-6021 before the pickup date to extend, because with one road in and out, rescheduling beats a wasted trip in both directions.
Two tons are included with the 12-, 16-, and 20-yard containers, and 4 tons with the 30-yard. After pickup the load is weighed, and excess weight bills at $75 per ton. In the Crow Creek Valley the loads that run heavy are roofing, wet storm debris, and limestone rubble from old foundations and outbuilding footings — stone country produces stone weight, and it is worth sizing the container with that in mind.
Standard debris goes in: household junk and furniture, drywall, lumber, roofing, flooring, fencing, and brush. Keep hazardous and regulated material out — fuels, oils, solvents, farm chemicals, asbestos, tires, and batteries. Valley farms accumulate the usual chemical shelf and fuel corner across decades; identify those items before loading day and set them apart. If a material is questionable, call (256) 548-6021 and ask before it goes in the box.
Yes — they are the signature Sherwood jobs. A modest barn or a run of outbuildings usually fits the 20-yard ($415); a full-size barn tear-down typically needs the 30-yard ($625). Farm cleanouts spanning house, barn, equipment shed, and fence lines are best sized on a call to (256) 548-6021: describing the buildings takes two minutes and prevents a second mountain trip for a container that should have been bigger.
One room — a bath, a kitchen floor, a mudroom — fits the 12-yard ($250). Multi-room renovations and roofing jobs in valley farmhouses generally need the 16-yard ($325) or 20-yard ($415). A whole-house gut takes the 30-yard ($625). Remember that Sherwood renovations often include the porch, the cellar, and a shed in the same project week; count those volumes in, or the right house size becomes the wrong job size.
Usually, yes. Driveway placement is the common setup from the valley floor to the farmsteads off SR-56, on concrete, gravel, and packed earth. The conditions are firm ground and room for the truck to set and later retrieve the box. Hollow drives that climb or cross Crow Creek tributaries deserve a mention at booking — sometimes a flat spot near the highway end of the drive is the placement that works in all weather.
Yes. A Sherwood cleanout typically mixes both — furniture and household goods from the farmhouse, lumber and shingles from the barn work beside it. Load dense construction material first and low, household items on top, and keep the load level with the top rail for the climb out of the valley. Hazardous material is the exception that never rides, mixed or otherwise.
Yes. Storms tracking up the valley drop limbs and whole trees across Sherwood properties, and brush and storm debris are accepted loads. The weight warning applies double after a storm: saturated wood is far heavier than dry, and included tonnage goes quickly. Size up for big storm cleanups, keep dirt-caked root balls out where you can, and call (256) 548-6021 if the load is mostly soil and stone rather than wood.
Yes. Sewanee sits at the top of the SR-56 climb to the north, and the valley continues south on SR-117 into Alabama toward Stevenson and the Tennessee River. Sherwood deliveries are part of that Crow Creek run in both directions, so a project in Sherwood and a related property up the mountain or down the valley can be handled on the same route and the same phone call.
Yes. Contractors coming over the plateau for roofing and remodel work use us so the container is waiting when the crew arrives, and landlords use us for turnovers in the valley's scattered rentals. With distances what they are, coordination matters more here than anywhere — call (256) 548-6021 and we will align delivery with your crew's first day, not the day after.
Book on the online booking page: pick the size and delivery date and review the whole price — included tons, the $75-per-ton overage rate, and the $10-per-day extension rate — before confirming. For Sherwood, though, a phone booking at (256) 548-6021 is often the smarter route: access in the valley varies property by property, and a short description of the drive at booking prevents every delivery-day surprise.
If the box fills early, call (256) 548-6021 and we will schedule the pickup and an empty replacement if the job continues — call when it is three-quarters full, since the trip in is a mountain run, not a cross-town hop. If the load runs over weight, the excess bills at $75 per ton past the included 2 tons (4 tons on the 30-yard) — the same rate printed on your booking, applied to the scale weight, with no other charges attached.
Renovating a valley farmhouse from inside it is a furniture-shuffling exercise unless the keepers have their own dry space. Our mobile storage units are delivered to your Sherwood property for $175, billed every 28 days — billing runs in 28-day cycles rather than calendar months, so each renewal lands a few days earlier than the last. Load at ground level as rooms empty, hold the unit for one cycle or the length of the project, and we haul it away when the house is back together — no repeated trips over the mountain to a storage facility required.
In the Crow Creek Valley, the nearest public restroom can be a mountain climb away, which settles the question for work crews. Our porta potty rentals cost $140, billed every 28 days, with delivery, placement, servicing during the rental, and pickup all included. Sherwood customers place them at farm projects, construction and roofing sites, and outdoor gatherings on valley land — add one to a dumpster order and the job site arrives complete in a single trip down SR-56.
