10, 20 and 40 Cubic Yard
Dumpster Rental in La Prairie

Yes, as soon as the public roadway is used: the table in section 27 of by-law 1252 requires a certificate of authorization for “using the public roadway to deposit materials and equipment,” and the application goes through section 48. For a dumpster sitting entirely on your own property, the answer depends on your situation: the urban planning department (450 444-6638) confirms it in one call, and we help you prepare the right questions.

As long as you declare: by-law 1252 sets no maximum duration for occupying the public roadway — the applicant writes the release date and time into the certificate application (s. 48). The certificate itself is valid for at most 6 consecutive months, renewable once for 3 months. No few-day cap like elsewhere: in La Prairie, the schedule is built with you.

Yes, and the by-law even puts a number on it: the holder of a construction permit — residential, commercial, public or industrial, along with additions — must place a waste dumpster of at least 5.6 cubic metres on the site (by-law 1252, s. 21 5°), and building by-law 1248 requires a dumpster of sufficient capacity for any construction or demolition project (s. 54). Now 5.6 m³ works out to 7.32 cubic yards: our 10-yard dumpster (7.65 m³) meets that minimum, a smaller size does not — the math comes straight from the by-law's own figure.

No: “contractors and merchants are not authorized to drop off their materials there” — only household materials are accepted, the city writes. For debris from a contractor-run job, there is therefore no municipal option in La Prairie: the dumpster takes over, and our rotations follow the pace of the work.

Yes, we deliver there — with planning. Vieux-La Prairie is a heritage site declared in 1975: any exterior work on a building or a lot requires, on top of the municipal permit, a work authorization from the ministère de la Culture et des Communications, filed together with the permit application. Build that double circuit into your schedule and book the dumpster for the date the work actually starts. On the older lots, the 10-yard — same footprint as a 20, just lower — is often the right size.

Not for renovation work: the garbage collection refuses construction materials and debris — asphalt, concrete, painted wood, brick, ceramics, drywall, insulation, soil — and the monthly bulky-item pickup only takes damaged furniture, mattresses and box springs, construction material being explicitly excluded. The ecocentre does serve residents well, but with 5 free visits per year and a 5 m³ top load on its fee schedule — a single 10-yard dumpster (7.65 m³) already holds more.

Free up the dumpster within 48 hours of delivery and a $50 credit follows. Past that window, the promotion no longer applies and the 7-day rental simply carries on. The credit returns to your credit card — subtracted from any extras, or reimbursed whole otherwise. Offer valid throughout the high season (March to October).
