10, 20 and 40 Cubic Yard Dumpster Rental in Anjou

Anjou, a borough of Montreal, sits inside the territory Megabac Environnement serves: the 10, the 20 and the 40 cubic yard land just as readily in front of a Chaumont bungalow as on a job site in the business park. Not one lane in Anjou shows up in the municipal inventories, so the real choice comes down to your own land or the roadway. We settle it over the phone, at 514 708-2424.

Our dumpster sizes

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.

10 cubic yards

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.

Bathroom renovation
Garage and house cleanout
Small shed demolition

For guidance only — the exact size cannot be guaranteed.

20 cubic yards

14' long × 8' wide × 5' high · 6 to 8 pickup-truck loads

About the size of a Dodge Caravan — you can already picture it

Kitchen or bathroom renovation

40 cubic yards

Not sure which size to pick?

Our practical guide helps you choose the right size for your project — renovation, demolition, soil, concrete, bricks, asphalt — with the conditions and the FAQ.

Choose the right type of dumpster

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:

Dry materials (mixed)

10, 20 and 40 cubic yards

The do-it-all dumpster: wood, drywall, metal, shingles, furniture — mixed, no problem.

Soil, rocks and sod only

20 yard — the only size offered

Excavation, grading, sod removal — soil, rocks and sod, nothing else.

Concrete only

20 yard — the only size offered

Walkways, slabs, foundations — broken concrete, nothing else.

Bricks and mortar only

20 yard — the only size offered

Walls, chimneys, masonry facing — bricks and mortar, nothing else.

Asphalt only

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.

Strictly refused, in every dumpster

Tires

Paint and solvents refused in every dumpster

Paint, solvents, oils

Propane, aerosols, acids

Frequently asked questions — Anjou

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 sector, 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. 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.

A housing stock that leans toward the small apartment building

At the 2021 census, Anjou housed 18,735 private households, 56.6% of them renting. The stock leans decidedly collective: 83.0% of occupied dwellings are apartments, and close to two thirds of the whole sits under five storeys, duplexes included. The bungalow has not vanished for all that — 17.0% single-family houses here, against 13.9% across the City of Montreal as a whole — which leaves proportionally more private driveways than in the central neighbourhoods, and therefore more deliveries that call for no municipal paperwork at all. One last figure says everything about the local market: 1,315 dwellings needed major repairs in 2021, 39.2% more than in 2016. Before you book, pull out the tape measure: Anjou zoning sets a parking space at 2.6 m by 6.55 m and its access lane at 3.6 m wide, a handy yardstick for deciding between the 10 and the 20-yard.

Data: “Profils des ménages et des logements 2021” (custom tables from the 2021 census), Service de l'habitation, “Anjou” resource; zoning by-law RCA 40 (section number unverified, therefore not cited). Consulted August 17, 2026.

Forty percent of the territory zoned for business

The quartier industriel, in the northeastern part of the borough, “represents 40% of the area of the borough” and gathers “more than 600 businesses”, the city writes. At the other end of the commercial spectrum, the Galeries d'Anjou mall and its boulevard line up “more than 175 shops, restaurants and services”, with the Les Halles d'Anjou public market close by. Two clienteles, two ways of hauling debris out: refitting a retail unit works around opening hours, while an industrial demolition calls for the 40-yard and scheduled rotations — or for the single-material sizes, concrete, bricks and mortar, asphalt, soil-rocks-sod, as soon as sorting happens at the source. All of it across 13.7 km² for roughly 44,800 residents, according to the key figures the borough publishes. No Megabac Google listing carries the Anjou name: reviews for this sector hang on the Montreal listing, whose rating stands at 5.0 out of 5 across 59 reviews.

December to March: the siren, the stakes and the seven lots

Anjou documents its snow removal more thoroughly than most boroughs, and it shows on the ground. Four kinds of operation follow one another depending on how much has fallen — spreading under 2.5 cm, clearing from 2.5 to 15 cm, loading beyond 15 cm, a separate protocol past 30 cm. Before a loading run, three different signals go up: paper notices on wooden stakes driven into the snowbanks, flashing lights on certain streets, orange lexan panels fixed to the poles. Added to that is an audible warning: “If you hear a warning siren, it is time to move your vehicle.” The parking ban “can run until 11 p.m.”, and seven free park-and-ride lots open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. while loading is under way, among them the ones at parc Lucie-Bruneau, aréna Chénier and the centre communautaire d'Anjou. A local line, 514 493-5104, tells you whether more than 5 cm has come down. All of this targets vehicles and snow, not dumpsters — but a steel box immobilized on the roadway during a loading run is exactly what the operation is trying to clear. Between the first snowfall and the thaw, the private driveway is the only reasonable spot.

Why the drop-off centre is not enough in Anjou

Anjou has no ecocentre on its own territory. The seven facilities of the Montreal network all sit elsewhere on the island, and only two stay within reach from here. The first, the Rivière-des-Prairies ecocentre, occupies 11400 rue Léopold-Christin, some 4.3 km as the crow flies from the borough hall; the second, the Saint-Michel ecocentre, 2475 rue des Regrattiers, 6.6 km by the same measure. By road, count on more. Two or three car trunks empty out there without any fuss; here is what sours the moment the job grows.

The rule	What it means for a job site
None on site	The nearest one is in Rivière-des-Prairies; the next, in Saint-Michel
15 visits a year	The C&D ceiling at both ecocentres within reach of Anjou; unlimited access exists only at LaSalle and Saint-Laurent, 17 and 18 km out
12 m³ free a year	For a resident; beyond that, each additional cubic metre costs $31, amounts not taxable
Mondays, doors shut	Warm season (April 15 – October 14): open Tuesday to Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Cold season: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sundays closed as well
Everything by hand	The municipal text bars any “mechanical means (e.g. dump trailer)” for emptying a vehicle, and the crew on site lends no hand
7.4 m maximum	The length admitted for a van truck at the two neighbouring ecocentres; 11 m for a vehicle-and-trailer combination

At the kerb, municipal collection takes over — up to a point. Anjou accepts 5 m³ per address, roughly 6.5 yards, less than two thirds of a 10-yard, and only if everything fits in receptacles of 25 kg maximum: cardboard boxes of 1.5 m, 150-litre bins, bundles of 1 m by 50 cm. Households alone qualify. On the household-garbage side, the door shuts completely on construction, demolition and renovation debris — wood, gypsum, brick, concrete, asphalt shingles, cement, ceramic, stone — the ecocentre being the stated destination. A detail from here, written in black and white in the Anjou block: keep cardboard out of the rain, it softens and lets its contents escape.
