10, 20 and 40 Cubic Yard
Dumpster Rental in Dollard-des-Ormeaux

Not for the dumpster itself, if it sits entirely on your built private lot — and Dollard-des-Ormeaux is one of the rare cities whose zoning says so in plain words: “a temporary container” is among the installations authorized during work, provided it stands outside the sight triangle — the same section giving 30 days after the end of construction to remove a temporary building (by-law R-2025-199, s. 76 and 78). The negative verification completes it: the closed list of certificates of authorization in by-law R-2026-217 includes none for a rental dumpster, and the 2026 fee by-law sets no such charge. The job site, however, often needs a permit — any renovation of a building calls for one, with precise exceptions. In doubt? Urban planning and engineering department, 514 684-1010.

No. In Dollard-des-Ormeaux, “occupation of the public domain is prohibited without an authorization”, which “takes the form of a permit whose issuance is approved by way of a resolution of the Municipal Council” (by-law R-2022-168, s. 2) — a regime built for permanent encroachments, with no published procedure for a seven-day dumpster. The city can have the installation removed at the owner's expense (s. 7), leaving objects liable to constitute a danger on a street is prohibited (by-law R-2009-053, s. 34), and a “harmful or noxious object” left in a public place costs $1,000 from the first offence (by-law 82-705, s. 11). So the spot is in your driveway — that is where we deliver.

Yes — two by-laws require it. The nuisance by-law prohibits “the fact of leaving on a property construction refuse or waste, unless placed in closed containers” (by-law 2014-094, s. 7, 10°) — and “piles of earth, sand, rock, gravel or concrete on a property” are a nuisance in themselves (s. 7, 9°): the heap of rubble in the driveway is not a stage of the job, it is the offence. The waste by-law adds that the owner of a building under construction “must clear that building of construction waste”, placed in metal containers (by-law 83-696, s. 9.2). In Dollard-des-Ormeaux, the dumpster is not a convenience: it is what makes the job site compliant.

Yes — and we would rather tell you, limits included. The special refuse collection, on request, is reserved for “minor renovation work done by residents, and not for work done by contractors”. It is free “up to 4.5 m³ (6 cu. yd) or two collections per year”, offered from May 1 to October 31, and pickup comes “within ten to fifteen business days”; materials must be sorted by type and set out loose, never in bags or boxes, and asphalt and roof shingles are refused. A bathroom sometimes fits inside those 6 yards; a full kitchen exceeds them, a roof exceeds them by the tonne. A 10 yard dumpster holds 7.6 m³: that is exactly the dividing line.

For a car trunk, yes — but you have to leave town: Dollard-des-Ormeaux has no ecocentre and refers its residents to Saint-Laurent's, at 3535 rue Sartelon. A resident of the agglomeration gets 12 m³ free per year for construction debris; beyond that, $31 per cubic metre (rates consulted August 19, 2026). Good local news: the 15-visit yearly cap does not apply at Saint-Laurent, where visits are unlimited. In winter the ecocentre closes Sunday and Monday and opens 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For a job site the arithmetic is quick: a 10 yard box holds 7.6 m³, a 20 yard 15.3 m³ — more than the yearly allowance on its own — and a 40 yard 30.6 m³.

Because the local by-law protects trees not with a fixed radius but with a proportional perimeter: during work, a fence at least 1.2 m high must form around each tree a perimeter “of at least 8 times the diameter of the tree”, and “construction materials as well as earth and debris must be placed outside the said fence” (by-law R-2007-023, s. 17). A mature maple with a 60 cm trunk commands nearly five metres of clearance. Felling a tree 10 cm in diameter or more requires a certificate of authorization, issued in closed cases only, with fines counted per tree. On lots planted in the 1960s, our drivers choose the dumpster's spot with the map of the trunks.

It is the right question in a city where 62.1% of homes dated from 1961 to 1980 at the 2016 profile: plenty of original driveways — and changing their surface requires a certificate of authorization ($110 for a redo), so preserving what is there pays. Every one of our dumpsters is delivered with the PROTEC-O-SOL system, built-in planks that spread the load and protect the surface. Nothing to supply, nothing extra to pay. Our drivers' tip, for full protection: lay four flattened cardboard boxes, or a thin sheet of plywood, on the chosen spot before the truck arrives.
