Is a permit required for a dumpster in Belœil?
Not for a private driveway: our check of Belœil's by-laws — permits and certificates 1670-00-2011, zoning 1667-00-2011 — turns up no requirement for a temporary dumpster, as long as it rests entirely on private property, right-of-way excluded. The street is another story: it takes a road-occupancy permission. If your address leaves any doubt, the urban planning department settles it: 450 467-2835, ext. 2894.
What does Belœil charge to put a dumpster on the street?
$50, plus applicable fees where they apply: that is the price of the road-occupancy permission set by fee by-law 1692-00-2014 for storing anything on the public way. Skipping it costs more — a $250 penalty, plus general fines of $100 to $1,000 for an individual. The exact procedure is confirmed with public works, at 450 467-2835, ext. 2874.
Does Belœil require a dumpster on job sites?
Yes — twice over. Construction by-law 1669-00-2011 (s. 64) obliges anyone building or demolishing to have a dumpster for the debris, and permits by-law 1670-00-2011 (s. 22) requires, for every construction permit — additions included —, a dumpster of at least 8 cubic metres for the duration of the work. Now 8 m³ works out to roughly 10.5 cubic yards, by our calculation from the by-law: the 20-yard closes the question without debate.
Is the rue Dupré ecocentre in Belœil still open?
No, it is closed: the city sends its residents to the MRC de La Vallée-du-Richelieu's regional ecocentre, at 60 rue Fisher in Mont-Saint-Hilaire, entrance via chemin Benoît. Access is limited to residents of the ten participating municipalities, on photo proof of residence, and contractors along with commercially sourced materials are turned away.
Can you haul everything to the regional ecocentre instead of renting a dumpster?
Rarely in practice: the free quota is 12 m³ per year for construction debris, then $2.50 per 0.1 m³ (plus taxes), and only cars and pickups — pulling a non-dumping trailer, combined length under 7.5 m — make it past the gate. Emptying the equivalent of a single 10-yard dumpster therefore means several round trips to Mont-Saint-Hilaire, and in winter only Friday through Sunday. We ran that math from the figures the MRC publishes.
Where should the dumpster go during a Belœil winter?
The private driveway, no detours: from December through March the street has to stay plowable across its full width, the general by-law forbids leaving anything on public property that hinders snow removal, and neither snow nor objects may sit within 1.5 metres of a fire hydrant. Factor in the temporary car shelter too, allowed from October 15 to April 15: it often claims the very spot the dumpster had its eye on.
How do you get $50 back on a dumpster rental in Belœil?
By freeing up the dumpster within 48 hours of delivery: the $50 Libération Express credit then goes back on your credit card — deducted from any extras, or refunded in full if there are none. Offer valid during the high season (March to October). Past the 48 hours, nothing is lost: your 7-day rental simply carries on.
