10, 20 and 40 Cubic Yard
Dumpster Rental in Mirabel

Not for the dumpster itself, placed entirely in a private driveway — and we word it carefully, because the conclusion comes from an absence of provision. The exhaustive table of certificates of authorization (by-law U-2303, s. 3.1.1) provides none for a temporary dumpster, and the only occurrence of a temporary container in the whole by-law covers the portable mini-warehouse — the storage cube, not the roll-off waste dumpster. The city states that absence nowhere explicitly: a doubt about your specific case gets settled with the Service de l'aménagement et de l'urbanisme, 450 475-2007, info.urbanisme@mirabel.ca, at 14111, rue Saint-Jean.

No — and in Mirabel the file is peculiar. The construction by-law requires “the required permits and certificates” to place materials on public property (U-2302, s. 2.1.3 c), yet the U-2303 table of certificates provides none for that case and no public-domain occupancy fee exists: an obligation with no published procedure. Add the nuisance by-law: depositing construction, demolition or renovation materials “on public or private land” is prohibited, under a minimum fine of $300, and the prohibition covers the ditches by name — which, in the rangs, is exactly the strip between the road and your lot. We deliver into the driveway, or we call the city together at 450 475-2007.

Here is the text, rather than a conclusion. The zoning table of accessory equipment in U-2300 does not allow the “residual materials container other than semi-buried” in the front yard — but the same by-law defines that container as a receptacle “closed and watertight […] fitted with a watertight, self-closing lid”, which an open rental roll-off does not match; the attached standards — hidden from the public road, opaque enclosure for multi-family buildings — target permanent building equipment. In the TOD area of the Saint-Janvier station, the front-yard prohibition covers containers “implanted permanently” — words that on their own exclude a one-week rental. The side yard remains the safest placement, and your case gets validated at 450 475-2007.

Yes if the project is commercial, industrial, community or public, or if it is a housing development of more than three houses or dwellings: the construction by-law then requires, for the whole duration of the work, a dumpster of at least 4.5 m³ for construction waste, hauled to a dry materials recovery facility once full and replaced on the spot (U-2302, s. 2.1.3 d). A single-family home renovation is not covered by that obligation — but by-law 690 makes debris left on the land a nuisance “throughout the execution of the work” (s. 27): in practice, debris gets contained from day one. A useful benchmark: our 10 yard holds 7.6 m³, nearly 70% above the regulatory minimum.

For a resident's car trunk, yes — access is free, with no published annual visit quota, at any of the four sites. For a job site, no, and the door is triple-locked: industries, businesses, contractors and owner-builders are excluded; materials must be of household origin and in reasonable quantity; the trailer is capped at 5 × 12 feet and no heavy vehicle, tractor or dump body is admitted, except at Saint-Canut. The city's guide sums it up: “No garbage is accepted at the écocentre.” And everything comes out by hand, with no help from the attendant and no tools lent. Our volumes, for comparison: a 10 yard holds 7.6 m³, a 20 yard 15.3 m³, a 40 yard 30.6 m³.

Barely. It passes once a month, on a Friday, by zone, capped at 4 m³ — and its tolerance for construction debris is spelled out in numbers: 1 m³ or less per collection, in pieces of 1.2 metres or less, free of nails and screws, neatly stacked, tied or in sturdy transparent bags. Excluded are bulk materials (rock, stone, soil, concrete, asphalt, brick, ceramics), any item over 4 feet and anything coming from a contractor's work. The garbage bin helps no further: collection every two weeks, “no extras are collected”, and the very definition of garbage excludes construction, renovation and demolition residue. By-law 1589 concludes at section 14.2: those materials get removed “by one's own means and at one's own expense” — that is the dumpster's job.

In Mirabel the question comes up more than elsewhere: any home whose building permit was issued after May 15, 2019, inside an urban perimeter or the white zone, must have its off-street parking paved, asphalted or concreted — and the city gained 26.3% more dwellings between 2016 and 2021: thousands of driveways are brand new. 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.
