10, 20 and 40 Cubic Yard Dumpster Rental Montreal, South Shore and North Shore

The 20-yard for a kitchen, a bathroom or a big cleanout; the 10-yard for small jobs and heavy materials; the 40-yard for demolition and job sites. Start from the volume, then check the room: a 20-yard fits in the space of a Dodge Caravan and swallows six to eight pickup truck loads, the 10-yard takes the same footprint, lower, for three to four loads, and the 40-yard goes up to twelve or sixteen. Tell us what you are throwing out at 514 708-2424 and the answer takes two minutes.

Seven days for a homeowner, fifteen for a contractor, from the 10-yard to the 40-yard. The period extends by arrangement when a job runs long. In the other direction, a dumpster freed up within 48 hours of delivery earns the $50 Libération Express credit, returned to your credit card.

Yes in the dry materials dumpster, no in the other four. In the dry materials dumpster, wood, drywall, metal, shingles, furniture and estate contents travel together. Each of the other four holds one material and nothing else — soil, rocks and sod; concrete; bricks and mortar; asphalt — because each one goes to a different disposal facility. Mixing is paid for in sorting fees. When a job produces two materials, say so: two dumpsters often cost less than sorting one.

Tires; paint, solvents and oils; propane, aerosols, acids and batteries — in every size and for every customer. Disposal facilities will not take them, and a load containing them is turned away on arrival. These materials go free of charge to an ecocentre or a specialized drop-off point. Not sure about an item? Ask before it goes in the dumpster.

No: the PROTEC-O-SOL planks, built into the dumpster and included in the rental, spread the load instead of concentrating it on four steel bearing points. That is the number one worry, and it is exactly what they settle. Our drivers add one free precaution: lay four flattened cardboard boxes, or a thin sheet of plywood, where it will sit before the truck arrives. No more direct contact between steel and your pavers.

Because the disposal facility has to bring in an excavator when frost has welded the load to the walls, and it bills for that. Megabac Environnement passes it on at actual cost, with the weigh ticket to back it up, with no markup. The best defence is to load as you go rather than letting the contents take the rain, then the cold.
