10, 20 and 40 Cubic Yard
Dumpster Rental in Lacolle

Not for the dumpster itself, if it sits entirely on your land. We word it carefully because the conclusion comes from an absence of provision: the word “conteneur” does not appear in permits and certificates by-law RU 2021-0208, the closed list of certificates of authorization covers no such case, the zoning by-law's closed list of temporary structures — fabric shelter, car shelter, marquee, site building, boat storage — does not mention it either, and the fee by-law prices nothing of the sort. The job site, however, often does need a permit: in Lacolle there is no dollar threshold, only eighteen exempted works. A doubt about your address? Planning department, 450 246-3201, extension 1802.

It is possible in Lacolle — which is rare in this region — but never quickly. By-law 2024-0241 expressly names “containers” among what an authorization for temporary occupancy may cover, for a period of at most six months. Only, the permit's issuance is “conditional on the adoption of a resolution by council”, the municipality may refuse, proof of liability insurance is required, a scale plan is added as soon as the street is closed, and the permit cannot be renewed. So the price is not the obstacle: the council's meeting calendar is. Add that the first criterion of analysis is that you have demonstrated the work “cannot be carried out on the property” — it is the municipality itself that puts the private driveway ahead of the street.

By-law 2024-0241 publishes its rates at section 9.1.3, which is uncommon: about $60 to issue the permit — the occupancy by-law states $61 and the fee by-law $60, a one-dollar gap to be confirmed with the municipality — then $21 a day for an occupancy of 0 to 50 m² on a paved surface, or $16 a day from 0 to 100 m² on an unpaved surface. These are municipal rates, not ours. The area retained is the one the municipality records, the amount is payable when the permit is issued, and an occupancy carried out without a permit is billed anyway “for the actual number of days and for the actual dimensions”, on top of the fine. For the cost of renting the dumpster itself, call us at 514 708-2424.

Yes, and it is written in plain terms. Section 50 of construction by-law RU 2021-0207-01 requires that “every construction site be, at all times, clean and well kept” and that “at the end of every workday, materials and debris be placed in a container, a vehicle or removed from the site”. Within ten days of the end of the work, the owner must clear the lot of all debris. That is more demanding than the plain “nowhere other than in a container” found elsewhere: the by-law names only three ways to be compliant come evening, and the other two cost one trip a day. Add the nuisance by-law, which forbids leaving refuse on a lot and lists “mud; soil; sand; rock; gravel; cement” by name among refuse.

It is the right question to ask in Lacolle, and it is the one we ask when you book. By-law 2019-0187 sets, for a driveway entrance, a culvert at least 450 mm (18 inches) in diameter, over a width of at least 6 metres, of minimum class 320 kPa — class 210 kPa being allowed only where nothing drives over it. And it holds that the culvert “remains the responsibility of the riparian owner”: if it hinders water flow, it must be “repaired, rebuilt or cleaned by the riparian owner and at their own expense”. We will not tell you that a truck breaks a culvert: we tell you what the by-law says, and our drivers judge on site. Most often the answer is simply to pick a drop point that does not force a loaded truck far beyond the ditch.

Lacolle zoning expressly allows gravel and crushed stone for an access lane as well as for a parking area, on the same footing as asphalt, concrete and interlocking pavers — many driveways here are therefore unpaved. On that surface the risk is not marking: it is rutting and bearing capacity, especially at thaw. Every one of our dumpsters is delivered with the PROTEC-O-SOL system, built-in planks that spread the load, on gravel as on pavers. Nothing to supply, nothing extra to pay. Our drivers' tip: point out the firmest, flattest part of the driveway, usually the top rather than the bottom near the ditch, and tell us if the driveway has been redone recently.

For a car trunk, yes: it sits at 8 rue du Parc-Industriel, run by Compo-Haut-Richelieu for the Haut-Richelieu regional county. For a job site, no. It opens only two days a week in summer — Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. — and its page announces a winter schedule change without publishing the new one. Soil, sand and peat are refused, as two official documents confirm separately. Concrete and asphalt are capped at 75 cubic feet per load, unloaded by hand, with pieces of at most 20 inches at this site: a 10 cubic yard box holds 270 — four loads' worth. Residents get three free visits per calendar year, per address. Tipping is prohibited “under penalty of financial and access sanctions”, dump trucks with six wheels or more are refused, and Compo notes that very long trailers may not get in. Before driving over, check at 450 347-0299.

Lacolle has the widest window in the region. By-law 2017-0164 forbids carrying out excavation, construction, mechanical, repair or demolition work with noisy equipment between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. without special authorization — and it draws no distinction between Saturday, Sunday or a holiday. An early Saturday morning delivery is therefore no regulatory problem here, which is not the case everywhere. Two caveats: noise “that is excessive and unusual, of a nature to disturb the peace and quiet of the neighbourhood” remains prohibited at all times, and in winter, overnight parking is prohibited on streets and public roads between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. from November 15 to April 1. Call us at 514 708-2424 and we set the time together.
