Does a dumpster in a Châteauguay driveway require a permit?
No certificate is needed: the list of works subject to authorization in by-law Z-3400 (art. 4.2) does not mention a temporary dumpster, which the by-law classes as accessory equipment, in the same family as a heat pump. If your situation raises a doubt, the city's permits office (450 698-3000) will confirm — and so will we, when you book.
What does it cost to put a dumpster on a street in Châteauguay?
About $20 per day under the 2026 schedule for occupying the public right-of-way (paved surface under 49 m²), plus a refundable $200 deposit. A non-resident applicant pays double. The permits office confirms the exact figure when you apply — and if the dumpster fits in your driveway, none of this concerns you.
Can the ecocentre on Boulevard Industriel replace a dumpster rental?
For a big garage cleanout, yes; for a renovation project, no. The city caps each visit at 3 m³ per address — less than half a 10-yard dumpster — with a ceiling of 15 m³ per year, and charges $80 plus tax from the sixth visit on. The service is for residents only and turns away materials of commercial origin: in practice, a contractor cannot use it.
Does Châteauguay pick up renovation debris at the curb?
Never: collection by-law G-074-23 (art. 2.11) excludes construction, renovation and demolition materials and debris from household garbage — rubble, plaster, soil, stone, brick, concrete and asphalt among them. Since January 2024, bulky items go out only once a month — and that pickup, too, refuses construction and renovation residue in so many words.
Can you fill a dumpster on a Sunday in Châteauguay?
Not as part of a job: the general penal by-law (G-2000, art. 1.8) prohibits construction, renovation and demolition work all day on Sunday, and from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. Monday through Saturday. The local work window is therefore Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. — plan the loading accordingly.
What size of dumpster for a Châteauguay home?
The 20-yard handles most renovations: it is about the size of a Dodge Caravan, so a driveway that holds the van holds the dumpster. The 10-yard is a 20 filled halfway — the same footprint, just lower: convenient for loading over the side, but it frees up no room in a short driveway. For a demolition or a major cleanout, go with the 40-yard.
How does the $50 Libération Express credit work?
You get $50 back on your credit card if the dumpster is freed up within 48 hours of its delivery — not of the pickup request. The credit is applied against any extras, or refunded in full if there are none. After 48 hours, nothing else changes: the 7-day rental simply keeps running. Offer valid during high season (March to October).
