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 or asphalt.

10 10 cubic yard Megabac dumpster

10 cubic yards

14' long × 8' wide × 2.5' high · 3 to 4 pickup-truck loads

  • Garage and house cleanout
  • Small shed demolition

Exclusive PROTEC-O-SOL system

Your driveway is protected

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.

  • Planks built into the dumpster, on every delivery
  • Load spread over asphalt, concrete or pavers
  • Nothing to supply, nothing extra to pay

A tip from our drivers, for total protection

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.

PROTEC-O-SOLBuilt-in protective planks
The right type, first time

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.

What can never go in

Frequently asked questions — Charlemagne

Does Charlemagne require a permit for the dumpster?

On your own land, no: neither the by-law on permits and certificates, nor the construction one, nor the zoning makes the temporary dumpster subject to anything, and the word does not even show up in the first two. Set wholly or partly on the street, on a sidewalk or on the grass strip of the right-of-way, it is the reverse: by-law 05-445-26, in force since June 10, 2026, forbids occupying the public domain without a permit, and the city grants no 48-hour window of tolerance here. Urbanisme settles borderline cases at 450 581-2541; the spot itself gets chosen with us at 514 708-2424.

What does the public-domain occupancy permit cost?

Annex C of fee by-law 12-382-25 posts “100 $ pour une occupation partielle de l'emprise publique / 200 $ par jour pour une fermeture complète de rue” — $100 for a partial occupation of the public right-of-way, $200 per day for a full street closure. The words “par jour” sit with the second amount only, and we will not invent the arithmetic of the first: the city confirms it at 450 581-2541. Plan as well, with the application, for a preliminary plan in three copies and a signage drawing; the responsible officer may call for insurance, a land surveyor's plan, or signage sealed by an engineer.

What hours are delivery and pickup allowed?

The nuisance by-law ranks “les opérations de manipulation de marchandises, de chargement et de déchargement” — handling, loading and unloading goods — among the activities prohibited Monday to Friday between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., and on Saturday, Sunday and statutory holidays between 6 p.m. and 9 a.m. The split between the week and the weekend is written into the section itself, not inferred: in plain terms, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. otherwise. Our routes are planned inside that window, Monday to Friday.

Do you deliver in the secteur Presqu'Île, on the far side of Highway 40?

Yes. The urban plan acknowledges the difficulty itself: “il n'existe pas de lien routier local direct entre les deux parties situées de part et d'autre de l'autoroute 40” — no direct local road link joins the two halves of the town — and to get from the green corridor of the Presqu'Île to the one in the noyau villageois, “il est nécessaire d'emprunter le territoire de la ville de Repentigny”. That sector — rues des Sapins, des Cèdres, des Érables, des Chênes, des Bouleaux, des Lilas, des Saules, des Peupliers, Beauchamps, de la Presqu'Île and chemin des Quarante-Arpents — makes up electoral district 6 all on its own. Tell us which side of the A-40 you are on when you book: the route is not the same.

Is the MRC ecoparc not enough for my renovations?

Seldom. It caps at 3 m³ per visit — “une petite remorque (4x8x3)”, a small trailer, in the city's words — and at 12 m³ per address per year, which works out to roughly 15.7 cubic yards. A single 20-yard box already holds that much, and that is the whole year's quota. From November 1 to March 31 it closes Monday to Wednesday, and it stands in L'Assomption, not in Charlemagne. The city reaches the conclusion itself on its Écoparc page: “Vous faites de gros travaux? Envisagez la location d'un conteneur.” — big job? Rent a dumpster.

Can the dumpster go in the parking area of an apartment building?

Yes, and the request is a common one here: 1,855 of Charlemagne's 3,150 occupied dwellings are apartments in buildings under five storeys, and 880 units are held in co-ownership. You need the agreement of the owner or the syndicate, a surface that carries the truck, and the clearance to lift the box. Worth remembering if you are a landlord: the ecoparc opens to buildings of eight dwellings or fewer for bulky items only, never for construction, renovation or demolition residues.

Which size should I take, and how many days do I keep the dumpster?

For the 20-yard, the benchmark is about the size of a Dodge Caravan; your parking spot therefore answers the question better than a tape measure. The 10-yard frees up no ground at all: it is a 20-yard filled halfway, lower and nothing more. The 40-yard is aimed at job sites. The rental runs seven days in all three cases and stretches on a simple arrangement. At the other end, a box we can take back less than 48 hours after dropping it earns you the $50 Libération Express credit, applied against your extras or refunded to the card when there are none. Offer valid during the high season (March to October).

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.

More apartments than houses

The 2021 census counts 1,855 apartments in buildings under five storeys among Charlemagne's 3,150 occupied dwellings, or 58.9%, against 895 single-detached houses (28.4%). Add 215 duplex dwellings, 880 units held in co-ownership and 1,485 dwellings that are rented, and the private driveway stops being the default assumption here. The box goes down just as readily in the parking area of a three- to six-unit building, with the agreement of the owner or of the syndicate of co-owners.

Construction dates complete the picture: 1,485 of the 3,150 dwellings date from 1980 or earlier, 475 of them from 1960 or earlier, and 145 called for major repairs when the census was taken. The noyau villageois — “le secteur délimité par la rue Notre-Dame, la rue Saint-Hilaire, la voie ferrée et la rue Saint-Antoine”, in the words of the urban plan — went up for the most part between 1950 and 1970, and the secteur Presqu'Île between 1980 and 1990. Two generations of job sites, two ways of approaching an address.

One last framing figure: over 2.08 km² by the city's own count, Charlemagne houses 6,658 people under population decree 1499-2025 — the densest municipality of the MRC de L'Assomption, and by a wide margin the smallest in area.

Statistics Canada, 2021 census profile; urban plan 05-383-15 and the “Portrait et cartes” page of the Ville de Charlemagne; map 600 of the ministère des Affaires municipales (February 2026), consulted August 17, 2026.

No industrial park, but job sites 12 to 30 storeys tall

The urban plan says it without hedging: Charlemagne has no industrial park. Its convenience businesses stand mostly on boulevard Céline-Dion south of rue Émile-Despins, on rue Notre-Dame and on rue Plourde; retail of regional reach occupies boulevard Céline-Dion north of Émile-Despins, and passenger-vehicle sales cluster where Highways 40 and 640 meet.

The heavy work is somewhere else: in high-density housing. The city announces the quartier Oviv, at 8, rue Notre-Dame — 144 dwellings in a first phase, more than 1,200 units once complete, in seven buildings of 12 to 30 storeys — the projet Apero on boulevard Céline-Dion, on the site of the former hôtel Charlemagne (348 rental dwellings, 12 storeys), and We Charlemagne at the corner of rues Morin and Picard (250 dwellings, two six-storey buildings). To those add the recent deliveries at 305, rue Notre-Dame and at 120 and 122, rue Saint-Antoine, where an industrial building was turned into 32 dwellings.

For a contractor, no municipal exit door exists: the MRC writes that “les usagers commerciaux ne seront acceptés en aucun cas” — commercial users will not be accepted under any circumstances — at the ecoparc, and the owner of a building of eight dwellings or fewer gets in for bulky items alone, never for construction residues. Our answer is the 40-yard, swaps pinned to the site calendar, and one box per material when the sorting happens on site: concrete, bricks and mortar, asphalt, soil-rocks-sod.

December to March, across 20 kilometres of streets

Six employees maintain and clear the entire network — 20,677 metres of street, 6,580 m of sidewalk and 6,000 m of bike path. Snow removal operations are “récurrentes mais non planifiées”, recurring but never scheduled: they are announced by temporary signage, on the city's site and through automated alerts, by email and text message, which you have to sign up for. Sixteen streets receive that temporary signage — Plourde, Notre-Dame, Quintal, Saint-Hilaire, Saint-Paul, du Sacré-Cœur, Saint-Antoine, Trudeau, Émile-Despins, Benoît-Sauvageau, Saint-Alexis, Saint-Jacques, Chopin, Saint-Denis, Antonio-Mercier and Ricard.

From December 1 to March 31, no road vehicle may remain on a public road between midnight and 6 a.m., save on seven stretches named in the by-law. That ban reaches road vehicles only; a dumpster does not belong to the category. The snow-clearing by-law, however, squarely forbids “placer ou d'abandonner sur la voie publique ou sur l'emprise d'une voie publique tout objet qui peut nuire aux opérations d'enlèvement de la neige” — placing or leaving on the public way, or on its right-of-way, any object liable to hinder snow removal. A dumpster is one such object. In winter it therefore stays on private land.

What remains is agreeing on the spot. Zoning allows the temporary car shelter between October 1 and April 30, with no formality whatsoever and up to 4 metres in height, then sends it precisely “dans l'espace de stationnement, de la voie d'accès au stationnement ou dans la cour arrière” — into the parking space, the lane leading to it, or the back yard. Six months a year, it sits on the very ground the box would want. A call before delivery settles the question.

Ville de Charlemagne, Travaux publics page; by-laws 05-329-04 (s. 6.5), 06-400-17 (s. 4.1.5) and zoning 05-384-15 (s. 75), consulted August 17, 2026.

Where the municipal service stops

Why the drop-off centre is not enough in Charlemagne

Charlemagne has no municipal drop-off centre: its waste jurisdiction is delegated to the L'Assomption regional county. Its residents use the regional ecoparc in L'Assomption, shared with Repentigny, L'Assomption, L'Épiphanie and Saint-Sulpice. Access is free, and it genuinely helps. Its limits, on the other hand, come with numbers attached.

The ruleWhat it means for a job site
3 m³ per visitThe city speaks of “une petite remorque (4x8x3)”, a small trailer: emptying what a 10-yard holds calls for three runs at the very least, a 20-yard for twice that
12 m³ per yearPer address, from January 1 to December 31: somewhere around 15.7 cubic yards, which is what a single 20-yard box holds
Businesses turned away“Les usagers commerciaux ne seront acceptés en aucun cas”; buildings of eight dwellings or fewer are entitled to bulky items alone
Dump trailer barredAt all times, as are trucks of six wheels or more and trailers over 10 feet; an F-plate vehicle must prove where the materials came from
Outside the territoryThe site lies in L'Assomption, not in Charlemagne, and half the year's visits crowd into May through August

In front of the house the opening is narrower still: collections are fully mechanized, nothing beside the bin is taken, the quantity exceeds neither 360 litres nor 100 kg, and the eight bulky-item collections of 2026 rule out renovation materials, along with bags, boxes and residues left in a heap. The city draws the conclusion itself on its Écoparc page: “Vous faites de gros travaux? Envisagez la location d'un conteneur.” — big job ahead? Think about renting a dumpster.
