Is a permit needed to place a dumpster in Candiac?
Not on your own lot: table 4-1 of by-law 5005 lists the waste dumpster under the “none” certificate column. On the street it is the opposite — a public-domain occupancy authorization is mandatory, $50 plus a daily fee, issued at the City's discretion. When in doubt, the urban planning department answers at 450 444-6050.
Is a dumpster mandatory on a Candiac job site?
Yes. Anyone who obtains a building permit — residential, commercial, public or industrial, additions included — must install on the site a dumpster with sufficient capacity for all the waste from the work (by-law 5001, s. 11 7°), and the construction by-law requires it to be metal (by-law 5003, s. 100). Ours are.
Where does debris go now that Candiac's ecocentre is closed?
To the La Prairie ecocentre at 1100 chemin Saint-José: an agreement has given Candiac residents access since January 3, 2026. Its limits are real — five free visits per year per address, paid drop-offs capped at 5 m³, contractors and merchants not admitted. For a job site, the dumpster remains the only continuous route.
Do Candiac's municipal collections replace a dumpster rental?
Not once real work starts. The wheeled cart is the only receptacle garbage collection accepts and its volume is the hard limit; the construction-materials collection runs once a year — September 8 in 2026 — capped at 4 m³ and reserved for the residential sector; outside that date, a Public Works pickup costs $300 for at most 6 cubic yards.
How long can the truck stop on the street to deliver?
Thirty minutes at most, parked parallel to the roadway, with uninterrupted unloading: that is the rule in section 35 of by-law 1008-00 for any delivery in Candiac. Hence our single request — a clear spot when we arrive. The drop-off itself takes only a few minutes.
Which dumpster size should you pick for a renovation?
The 20-yard, most of the time: it is about the size of a Dodge Caravan. The 10-yard is a 20 filled halfway — same footprint, lower — an asset under the mature trees of the original sectors, but it clears no extra room in a short driveway. If you hesitate, describe your project at 514 708-2424.
How do you get the Libération Express credit?
By freeing up the dumpster inside the 48 hours that follow delivery: the $50 credit is then returned to your credit card — deducted from any extras, or refunded in full if there are none. Past that window, the 7-day rental simply continues. Offer valid during high season (March to October).
