Megabac Environnement runs through every corner of the borough of Ahuntsic-Cartierville, from Sault-au-Récollet down to the Pont Lachapelle, and drops its dumpsters in three formats — 10, 20 and 40 cubic yards. Side yard, back yard, alley or roadway — the spot is what decides whether a permit is needed, and we go over that with you before the delivery. One word at 514 708-2424 and the quote goes out, free of charge.

Dumpster rental — or bin rental, as many Montrealers call it — for the big cleanout, an estate, a renovation or a demolition: dry materials, soil, concrete, bricks, asphalt and more.
14' long × 8' wide × 2.5' high · 3 to 4 pickup-truck loads
A 20-yard filled halfway: same footprint, just lower — choosing it won't free up space in a short driveway.
For guidance only — the exact size cannot be guaranteed.
14' long × 8' wide × 5' high · 6 to 8 pickup-truck loads
About the size of a Dodge Caravan — you can already picture it
20' long × 8' wide × 7' high · 12 to 16 pickup-truck loads
Our practical guide helps you choose the right size for your project — renovation, demolition, soil, concrete, bricks, asphalt — with the conditions and the FAQ.
Libération Express
Every rental includes 7 days — 15 for contractors. But if you work fast, our quick-release promotion rewards you:
More than 48 hours after delivery, the promotion no longer applies — your 7-day rental simply continues, without the credit.
Freeing up dumpsters sooner is also what lets us deliver faster everywhere in Ahuntsic-Cartierville — everyone wins.
Offer valid during the high season (March to October).
A full dumpster is heavy, and drop-off and pickup are when asphalt gets marked. Every Megabac dumpster arrives clean, safe and fitted with the exclusive PROTEC-O-SOL system: built-in planks that spread the load and protect your asphalt, concrete or paved driveway. Nothing to supply, nothing extra to pay.
Even with the planks, the dumpster is still a steel box. Before the truck arrives, lay down four flattened cardboard boxes — or a thin sheet of plywood — where the dumpster will sit: the steel never touches your asphalt or your pavers directly. Two minutes of prep, zero worries.
The price depends on the size, the type of materials, how long you keep it — and your area. The form above or a two-minute call is all it takes to get your exact price, fast. What makes up the price, in plain words → And if you free up the dumpster within 48 hours of delivery, the Libération Express credit applies — details below.
Size is not the whole story: dumpsters are rented by material type. Each type goes to a different disposal facility — that is why mixed loads bring extra fees. One choice to make, five options:

10, 20 and 40 cubic yards
The do-it-all dumpster: wood, drywall, metal, shingles, furniture — mixed, no problem.

20 yard — the only size offered
Excavation, grading, sod removal — soil, rocks and sod, nothing else.

20 yard — the only size offered
Walkways, slabs, foundations — broken concrete, nothing else.

20 yard — the only size offered
Walls, chimneys, masonry facing — bricks and mortar, nothing else.

20 yard — the only size offered
Old torn-up paving, curb pieces — asphalt, nothing else.
Why it matters. A dumpster rented for concrete that shows up at the disposal facility with wood in it is refused at the concrete rate: the sorting gets billed back. If you have several types of materials, say so in the form or at 514 708-2424 — we point you to the right type, or to two dumpsters when that costs less than sorting fees.
Tires
Paint, solvents, oils
Propane, aerosols, acidsHere, yes, and it is written down. Ahuntsic-Cartierville's list of covered cases carries a “Vous êtes un particulier” heading — you are a private individual — and under it sits “place a dumpster on the public roadway”. The eighteen other boroughs of Montreal use that word nowhere in their own lists. In plain terms: owner-occupant or contractor, the moment the dumpster rests on the roadway, in an alley or on a sidewalk, the permit applies.
From $448, taxes included: $48 on issue, then $80 for each day the occupancy stays under 49 m² of street or sidewalk. “From”, because the schedule bills the obstruction of a lane and a full closure separately. These amounts were recorded August 17, 2026 and are replayed every fiscal year: for a job site next year, revalidate them with 311.
For your wallet, yes, on one condition. Under 99 m², unpaved ground — an alley or the strip behind the sidewalk — is billed at $62 a day rather than $80, so five days go from $448 to $358. But the gap only holds if the installation spills over neither the sidewalk nor the roadway; otherwise the higher rate takes back over. Check as well that the truck can get through: we measure that with you before the date is locked in.
Not on the area common to the two front yards — the borough forbids it explicitly. On a lot bordered by more than one street, the front yard remains possible at a minimum of 5 m from the right-of-way of the public way, and provided no main entrance stands beside it. The right-of-way is the space between your property line and the sidewalk — or the edge of the roadway where there is no sidewalk. A doubt, a call to 311, and it is settled.
To the Acadie ecocentre, 1200 boulevard Henri-Bourassa Ouest, closed Mondays all year round and Sundays on the winter schedule. Two constraints to weigh: your rig has to measure less than 7.3 m, with or without a trailer (6.8 m for a cube van), and construction debris is capped at 15 visits a year — the unlimited-visit exception applies at LaSalle and Saint-Laurent, not at Acadie. Add that the unloading is done by arm, with no dump trailer.
Rarely, for a single household. Ahuntsic-Cartierville is the only borough that works the volume out per dwelling: 2 m³ in a building of 1 to 8 dwellings, 1 m³ from 9 to 49, 0.5 m³ after that. Those 2 m³ are worth about 2.6 cubic yards, under a third of a 10-yard dumpster — one demolished bathroom goes past them. And the service addresses private individuals alone: a store, a school or an organization has to turn to the private sector.
Not before 9 a.m. on the weekend. The local bylaw opens renovation and construction work “between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday to Friday”, then pushes the weekend start to 9 a.m. and closes it at 5 p.m. — a window that covers dropping off and picking up a dumpster as well, noisy operations if ever there were any. On weekdays we can therefore roll from 7 a.m.; on Saturday, the delivery lands after 9. Call 514 708-2424 to settle the hour.
And elsewhere? We checked the permit rule in every city we serve, by-law in hand — because it is never the same from one city to the next.

The picture of the building stock explains almost everything that follows. In the 2016 census, the single detached house accounted for no more than 8.7% of the borough's dwellings; the duplex made up 13.5%, and buildings of fewer than five storeys 59.8%. Close to three dwellings in four are therefore a plex or a small block. Then add the age: 37.2% of the stock dated from 1960 or earlier, and 70.5% from before 1981. The 2021 census fills in the rest — 135,336 residents, 60,520 occupied private dwellings, 61.6% renter households. Housing built like that opens its walls constantly, and rarely in front of a double garage. Hence the value of measuring before you order. For a 20-yard, allow about the size of a Dodge Caravan. Its little brother is described another way: a 20-yard filled halfway, a lower box on an unchanged footprint. A narrow driveway gains nothing from that; the back yard or the alley does.

The north of the borough carries an employment hub the city describes without hedging: the District Central brings together “more than 25,000 workers”, ranks as “the 4th largest concentration of jobs in Montreal” and covers “a quadrilateral of 3 km²”, in full shift from textiles to design. Converted factories, office floors done over, warehouses partitioned anew: these are 40-yard jobs with planned rotations, and often single-material dumpsters, since sorting at source forces you to keep concrete, brick and asphalt apart. One convenience for a manager in the sector: the permit counter and the Bureau Accès Montréal both sit at 555 rue Chabanel Ouest, a few blocks from the site. A clarification is owed about the reviews you will read further down: Ahuntsic-Cartierville has no Google listing under its own name. It is our Montreal Google listing — 59 reviews, rated 5.0 out of 5 — that covers this territory. The Montreal listing, then, and not the borough's.

The borough maintains 309 km of streets, 483 km of sidewalks and 50 km of bike paths. Clearing starts the moment 2.5 cm has settled; the loading itself is triggered between 10 and 15 cm. Two things to know before you leave anything on the roadway. First, the schedule is never a given: the borough warns that a street loaded overnight one year may be loaded in daylight the next, and the reverse — except on the thirty or so streets bordered by an elementary school entrance, where loading takes place only overnight, 7 p.m. through 7 a.m. Second, the operation drags: it “sometimes stretches over more than 6 days”, after which a day of rest becomes mandatory for the crews. Orange signs planted the night before stay valid as long as they are standing, even once the snowblower has gone through. A dumpster stuck in the middle of all that is exactly what the loaders cannot steer around: come winter, aim for the yard or the driveway. Worth noting in the District central sector: when a loading operation is announced, 50 parking spaces open free of charge to residents.

The Montreal-network ecocentre standing inside the borough is the Acadie, at 1200 boulevard Henri-Bourassa Ouest; its own place record notes that it is located in Ahuntsic-Cartierville. Ideal for a car trunk and a Saturday of clearing out. What happens once the volume climbs is another story.
| The rule | What it means for a job site |
|---|---|
| Closed on Mondays | Every single week of the year; on the October 15 to April 14 schedule, Sunday falls too and the gate opens only at 10 a.m. |
| 12 m³ free per year | Past that, every extra cubic metre costs $31; the weigh-in, $15.50 |
| 15 visits at most | The yearly ceiling for C&D debris and upholstered bulky items; the unlimited visits apply at LaSalle and Saint-Laurent, not here |
| Under 7.3 m | Maximum vehicle length, with or without a trailer — 6.8 m for a cube van, one of the two tightest limits in the network |
| All by arm | “No mechanical means (dump trailer, for instance)” is admitted for emptying a load, and not one employee comes over to lend a hand |
Do the arithmetic before you bank on shuttle runs: the free yearly quota of 12 m³ is worth roughly 15.7 cubic yards, so a single 20-yard dumpster (15.3 m³) already goes past it — and you would have to empty it over several trips, by hand, behind a rig under 7.3 m. At the kerb, municipal collection will rescue you no better: it is closed to businesses, stores, schools and organizations, all of which the city sends to the private sector; it holds each object to 1 m³ and each receptacle to 25 kg; and it bans plastic, “even the so-called ‘construction’ bags sold at hardware stores”. Its scale is unique on the island, what is more, since it counts by dwelling — 2 m³ in a building of 1 to 8 dwellings, 1 m³ from 9 to 49, 0.5 m³ beyond. The owner of an entire plex finds a comfortable ceiling there; a single household, much less so: its 2 m³ come to barely 2.6 cubic yards, under a third of a 10-yard. As for household garbage collection, it turns away gypsum, shingles, ceramic and stone, every one of them sent back to the ecocentre.
