10, 20 and 40 Cubic Yard
Dumpster Rental in Mont-Saint-Hilaire

A public-property occupancy permit, and only when the dumpster reaches the street, the sidewalk or the grassy strip along the curb: $26 per day, $357 maximum in 2026, issued by the designated officer without going through council. Section 37 of by-law 1309 expressly covers job-site dumpsters serving an adjoining lot. If your situation is unclear, the planning department answers at 450 467-2542.

A $1,000 to $2,000 fine from the first offence for an individual — and every day counts as a separate offence (by-law 1309, s. 49). Next to that, the $26-a-day permit is a bargain: this may be the costliest rule to ignore anywhere in the region.

Rarely all the way: the free quota of 12 m³ per year — about 15.7 cubic yards by the MRCVR's own published figures — is nearly swallowed by a single 20-yard dumpster. Add the rig limit of under 7.5 m with no dump trailer, the Tuesday and Wednesday closures in summer and the three opening days in winter. For a few trips it earns its keep; for a whole basement, the dumpster leaves in one go.

No: contractors and materials from commercial activity are refused there, and lettered trucks are banned. The only prior authorization the MRCVR issues goes to a resident hauling materials from their own home (Info-collectes, 450 464-4636). Debris from a job handed to a contractor therefore leaves in a dumpster.

None of them do: garbage runs every three weeks in a single wheeled cart per address (360 L maximum), and the monthly bulky-item collection — reserved before Friday noon — expressly refuses wood, gypsum, doors, windows, ceramics, concrete, brick, asphalt shingles, mineral wool and every other construction, renovation or demolition material.

Picture a parked Dodge Caravan: that is the footprint of a 20-yard. The 10-yard lays the same rectangle on the ground at a lower height — so it frees up no room in a short driveway, but it loads more easily over the side. Add the clearance the truck needs to back in and set the dumpster down, and our drivers' tip: four flattened cardboard boxes or a thin sheet of plywood on the chosen spot, on top of the built-in planks.

When the dumpster is freed up within 48 hours of delivery: $50 then comes back to your credit card, deducted from any extras or refunded in full if there are none. Miss the window and nothing goes wrong — the 7-day rental simply carries on, without the credit. Offer valid during the high season (March to October).
