Megabac Environnement covers every corner of the borough of Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, from the Bain Morgan to Tétreaultville, with dumpsters of 10, 20 or 40 cubic yards. On your own lot there is nothing to apply for; out on the roadway or in the alley, the borough bills by the day and takes 2 to 5 business days to answer. Dial 514 708-2424 and we settle the size, the spot and the date together.

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, asphalt and more.
14' long × 8' wide × 2.5' high · 3 to 4 pickup-truck loads
A 20-yard filled halfway: same footprint, just lower — choosing it won't free up space in a short driveway.
For guidance only — the exact size cannot be guaranteed.
14' long × 8' wide × 5' high · 6 to 8 pickup-truck loads
About the size of a Dodge Caravan — you can already picture it
20' long × 8' wide × 7' high · 12 to 16 pickup-truck loads
Our practical guide helps you choose the right size for your project — renovation, demolition, soil, concrete, bricks, asphalt — with the conditions and the FAQ.
Libération Express
Every rental includes 7 days — 15 for contractors. But if you work fast, our quick-release promotion rewards you:
More than 48 hours after delivery, the promotion no longer applies — your 7-day rental simply continues, without the credit.
Freeing up dumpsters sooner is also what lets us deliver faster everywhere in Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve — everyone wins.
Offer valid during the high season (March to October).
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.
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.
The price depends on the size, the type of materials, how long you keep it — and your area. The form above or a two-minute call is all it takes to get your exact price, fast. What makes up the price, in plain words → And if you free up the dumpster within 48 hours of delivery, the Libération Express credit applies — details below.
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:

10, 20 and 40 cubic yards
The do-it-all dumpster: wood, drywall, metal, shingles, furniture — mixed, no problem.

20 yard — the only size offered
Excavation, grading, sod removal — soil, rocks and sod, nothing else.

20 yard — the only size offered
Walkways, slabs, foundations — broken concrete, nothing else.

20 yard — the only size offered
Walls, chimneys, masonry facing — bricks and mortar, nothing else.

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.

Propane, aerosols, acidsOn your own lot, no: the borough writes that no permit is necessary, subject to four conditions — side or rear yard, 2 m of height at most, no visible damage or graffiti, no foul odour for the neighbours. The moment it reaches into the street, onto the sidewalk or into the alley, the temporary occupancy permit applies, and the borough processes it in 2 to 5 business days. Unsure? 311 confirms it, and our team answers at 514 708-2424.
The alley, as long as nothing sticks out. The 2026 schedule asks $61.56 a day in an alley, behind the sidewalk or on an unpaved surface up to 99 m², against $73.88 a day on the street or on the sidewalk for up to 49 m². Over five days, issuing and review fees included, the gap is $397.34 against $458.94 before taxes. What is left to check is the clearance the truck needs: we go through that with you on the phone.
The rate changes. The note on the schedule is explicit: the alley price holds only where the occupancy stays off the sidewalk and off the street, otherwise the street-and-sidewalk rate takes over — $73.88 a day instead of $61.56. In a narrow alley, better to measure first: a 10-yard often fits where a 20-yard forces you to bite into the sidewalk.
Between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. That is not our business schedule, it is the borough by-law: it frames renovation and construction work, and the receiving of materials, inside that window and no other. We hold to it, which spares your neighbours anything to report to the local police station.
From June 20 to September 13, 2026, rue Ontario is pedestrian over nearly a kilometre, between rue Darling and boulevard Pie-IX. On that stretch and on those dates, truck access has to be validated before anything gets booked; the way through is often the alley, with an occupancy permit, or a cross street. The dates move from one year to the next — call us and we check before confirming.
To the Montreal network: La Petite-Patrie, at 1100, rue des Carrières, is the closest, ahead of Saint-Michel and Rivière-des-Prairies. Two constraints come with it. La Petite-Patrie turns away a vehicle-and-trailer combination longer than 7.3 m and a cube van longer than 6.8 m. And the ceiling of 15 visits a year applies in full, since the two ecocentres with unlimited visits, LaSalle and Saint-Laurent, sit at the far end of the island.
No. The ceiling published for this borough is 3 m³ per address, roughly 3.9 cubic yards: a kitchen demolition passes it on the first day, cabinets and gypsum included. On top of that come the 25 kg limit per receptacle and the flat ban on plastic bags, the so-called “construction bags” included. Past that threshold, the city names the only way out itself: the private contractor.
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.

We deliver to every neighbourhood in Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve — and we know the area.
The 2021 census puts 140,627 people on 25.41 km² here, across 69,570 occupied private dwellings — of which only 2,990 are single detached houses, 4.3% of the stock. Everything else sits in a duplex (9,230 dwellings) or in a building under five storeys (50,540): close to 86% of the addresses around here are plexes or small blocks, outside staircase at the front, alley at the back. Add 65.8% of households renting, 27,415 dwellings built in 1960 or earlier and 6,430 needing major repairs, and the question of where the dumpster goes arrives before the question of what size it should be. Which is why a good half of this page talks about the occupancy permit.

To the east, the Assomption Sud–Longue-Pointe sector — bounded by avenue Souligny, the Port of Montreal facilities, the Longue-Pointe rail yard and Highway 25, and running 3 km long by 1 km wide — mixes industrial parks, a military base and port land. That is 40-yard country, with swaps booked in advance and a single-material dumpster as soon as a demolition forces concrete, brick and asphalt to be kept apart. West of there the economy is a shopkeeping one: rue Ontario turns pedestrian over nearly a kilometre between rue Darling and boulevard Pie-IX, from June 20 to September 13, 2026, with programming from the SDC Hochelaga-Maisonneuve Thursday through Sunday. Refitting a storefront on that stretch is prepared differently: truck access gets validated with the borough before a delivery date is locked in. On Google, the borough has no listing of its own; Megabac Environnement is rated 5.0 from 59 reviews on its Montreal listing.

The borough announces some 545 km of streets and 65 km of bike paths to clear, handled as three separate operations by three different machines. Where the layout calls for it, loading runs on both sides of the street at the same time, sometimes overnight near school drop-off zones: a dumpster immobilized on the roadway that evening falls in exactly the wrong place. The instruction the borough publishes applies to us word for word — do not set your collection bins and other bulky items on the sidewalk, set them instead on your own land at the sidewalk's edge, without encroaching on the public way. From December to March we therefore aim for the yard or the driveway, and the roadway only serves when there truly is no other spot.

For a trailer of branches the round trip pays for itself; for a renovation, here are the figures that get in the way.
| The rule | What it means for a job site |
|---|---|
| 7.3 m at the very most | The vehicle-and-trailer length admitted at La Petite-Patrie; 6.8 m if you turn up in a cube van |
| 15 visits a year | The cap bites in full here: the two ecocentres with unlimited visits, LaSalle and Saint-Laurent, sit at the far end of the island |
| 12 m³ free a year | Past that, $31 for every extra cubic metre; weighing costs $15.50, and a construction business based on the island also pays $31/m³ |
| By hand, no way around it | No mechanical means may be used to unload the materials — a dump trailer included |
| Photo ID required | That of the person physically standing there, along with proof of an address inside the agglomeration |
At the kerb, the collection of bulky items and rubble stops at a maximum volume of 3 m³ (106 ft³) per address, roughly 3.9 cubic yards — under 40% of our smallest dumpster. And it is addressed to households alone: businesses, stores, schools, churches, embassies and organizations are sent to the private sector, the municipal text says. Every receptacle or bundle tops out at 25 kg, bundles at 50 cm across and 1 m long, and every plastic bag is banned as a receptacle, including the “construction bags” sold at hardware stores. Wood, gypsum, brick, concrete, asphalt shingles, cement, ceramic and stone, for their part, are refused outright at the household garbage collection. From there the arithmetic is short: one bin rental standing where the work is, against as many carloads as the year has visits left.
