20 yard Megabac dumpster delivered on a Montreal jobsite

Concrete dumpster rental — 20 yards, sold by weight

Concrete does not rent like a renovation: weight decides, not volume. One size goes out — the 20 yard, 7 tons included, 12 maximum — filled three quarters at most, never more: the truck's legal load is reached well before the rim. Enter your slab's dimensions below: the tool returns your tons and the number of trips.

Why concrete is sold by weight

A broken-up slab looks harmless in a pile. It is not: broken concrete weighs about one ton per cubic yard — the same order as soil, far above a renovation dumpster that fills with wood and drywall. That is why concrete never goes into the renovation box, and why it is not sold by volume.

One size goes out: the 20 yard. The price covers 7 tons included, 12 tons maximum; each additional ton is prorated from the disposal centre's weigh ticket — real weight, never rounded. And the box fills three quarters at most (45 inches from the floor): the truck's legal load is reached well before the rim. Our drivers say it on every jobsite — a concrete dumpster filled to the brim would never leave your driveway.

How many tons, how many trips?

Measure your slab, patio or walkway: the tool converts to cubic yards, then tons, and tells you whether one dumpster is enough.

A residential slab usually runs 4 to 6 inches thick. The result is an estimate — the weight that counts is the weigh ticket's.

Enter your dimensions — the math shows up here.

Jobsite benchmark: broken concrete weighs about one ton per cubic yard — the voids between pieces make all the difference from poured concrete.

What goes into the concrete dumpster

A single-material dumpster takes that material only: any mixing brings sorting fees. The rule is simple, and it protects your invoice.

Yes — concrete, nothing but concrete

  • Slab, patio, walkway, curb — broken into pieces
  • Demolished foundation, steps, concrete piers
  • Reinforced concrete: accepted, no problem — rebar and mesh included
  • Beige paving stones: they belong here — other colours go in bricks and mortar

No — this stays out

  • Soil, « while we're at it »: it has its own dumpster — any mixing brings sorting fees
  • Bricks and asphalt: each gets its own dumpster, same logic
  • Wood, drywall, metal: that is the mixed dry materials dumpster
  • The refused-everywhere items: tires, oils, paints, solvents, aerosols, propane tanks

Concrete jobsite questions

Why only one size for concrete?

Because weight caps out before volume: at about one ton per cubic yard, a big dumpster would be over the road limit long before it was full. The 20 yard filled three quarters is the size that goes out — whatever your project's volume, it is the number of trips that adjusts.

How many tons are included?

7 tons are included in the price, and a trip leaves at 12 tons maximum. In between, each additional ton is prorated from the disposal centre's weigh ticket — your load's real weight, never rounded.

Is reinforced concrete accepted?

Yes, no problem: reinforced concrete goes in with its rebar and mesh — nothing to separate on your end. That is confirmed policy, not a case-by-case tolerance.

Can I put a little soil in with the concrete?

No — and it is your invoice we are protecting: a single-material dumpster takes only its material, any mixing brings sorting fees. Soil has its own dumpster; if your project produces both, we plan two boxes or two trips.

Why not fill the dumpster all the way?

The truck's legal load is reached well before the rim: a concrete dumpster filled to the top would never leave your driveway. Loading stops at three quarters — 45 inches from the floor — the benchmark our drivers give on every jobsite.
