Does a dumpster in Anjou call for a permit?
It all turns on a single metre. On your lot, no. On public property, yes — the Anjou tab lists the word “conteneurs” among the cases covered, and that public property is not limited to the asphalt: sidewalks, bike paths and public squares are part of it. For a temporary roll-off set down in a yard, the Comptoir des permis (514 493-5115) rules on your situation. And very often the spot gets settled with us before a municipal file is ever opened: 514 708-2424.
What does occupying the roadway in Anjou add up to?
Two amounts and one addition. A one-time $30 fee opens the file; after that, every day spent on the street or the sidewalk under 49 m² costs $40, taxes included. A week of work trimmed to five days of occupancy therefore comes to $230 in municipal fees. Behind the sidewalk or on an unpaved surface, the day falls back to $35. Add that the borough asks for no review fee at all, where its three bordering boroughs bill $26 to $44.77: it is the gentlest schedule in the area, and by a wide margin.
Is it true that the permit comes faster in Anjou than elsewhere in Montreal?
The announced turnaround is 2 business days, firm — the shortest firm delay in the Montreal network, tied with L'Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève. Six boroughs announce 5 days instead, and Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Le Sud-Ouest and Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie want the application filed 10 business days ahead. Mind the trade-off: an Anjou permit expires after one month, and the municipal text specifies that “the new permit may be issued at most one more time per year”. A job that stretches out is therefore planned for the driveway, not for the roadway.
Can the dumpster be dropped in an Anjou lane?
The schedule does set a lane rate, $35 a day, but it has almost no use case here: Anjou turns up in neither municipal inventory of lanes — not the 2019 inspection, which covers 6,907 of them across 15 boroughs, nor the green-lane data set. The borough was built in the 1950s and 1960s as a planned suburb, not as a plex-and-lane neighbourhood. At your address, the choice comes down to the driveway or the street.
Where do I empty my debris if Anjou has no ecocentre?
Into the Montreal network, open to any resident of the agglomeration with no borough-by-borough split. Two sites are within reach: the Rivière-des-Prairies one, on rue Léopold-Christin, and the Saint-Michel one, on rue des Regrattiers, 4.3 and 6.6 km as the crow flies from the borough hall — farther by road. Bad news for a big job: those two stay capped at 15 construction-waste visits a year. Access with no counter is at LaSalle and at Saint-Laurent, 17 and 18 km out, an island crossing each way.
In winter, can the dumpster stay on the roadway in Anjou?
It is the worst moment to leave it there. The instant a snow loading is triggered, the borough plants its notices on stakes, switches on its flashing lights and hangs its orange lexan panels, sounds a warning siren, and the parking ban can run until 11 p.m. Seven free park-and-ride lots then open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. for cars — nothing of the kind exists for a twenty-yard steel box. Between December and March, aim for the driveway or the yard, and dial 514 493-5104 to learn whether more than 5 cm has fallen.
Ten, twenty or forty yards — and how does that $50 credit work?
The 20-yard takes in most of a major renovation and occupies about the size of a Dodge Caravan. The 10-yard picks up exactly the same footprint, stopped at a lower height: easier to load over the side, but it will not clear an inch more in a short driveway. The 40-yard belongs to the job site. Seven days come with every size for a homeowner, fifteen for a contractor. As for the $50 Libération Express credit, you earn it when the dumpster comes back to us within 48 hours of the delivery; beyond that, the rental week simply runs its course. Offer valid during the high season (March to October). Your credit card takes the credit back: applied against the extras, or paid out in full if your invoice carries none.
