10, 20 and 40 Cubic Yard Dumpster Rental in Montérégie

Megabac Environnement was born in the Richelieu valley and serves the Montérégie: 10, 20 and 40 cubic yard dumpsters plus four single-material sizes, delivered from Chambly to Sorel-Tracy, from Saint-Hyacinthe to Saint-Rémi, and out to the riverside villages of the Richelieu valley. Distances here are longer than in the suburbs, so delivery gets planned: same day if dumpsters are available, ideally booked 24 to 48 hours ahead, Monday to Friday. One call to 514 708-2424 confirms the size, the exact price and the date.

The Richelieu valley, one village at a time

The Montérégie we serve follows a river. To the south, Chambly and its basin; at the foot of the mountain, Mont-Saint-Hilaire and Otterburn Park; along Route 116 and the rail line, McMasterville and Saint-Basile-le-Grand. Then the riverside villages string out along the chemin des Patriotes — Saint-Mathias-sur-Richelieu, Saint-Marc-sur-Richelieu, Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu, Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu — all the way to Saint-Ours and Sorel-Tracy, where the Richelieu meets the St. Lawrence. To the east, Saint-Hyacinthe; upstream, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and its five sectors; to the west, Saint-Rémi and its black-earth fields. Megabac was born at the far end of that valley.

Crossing the river here is not free. There is no bridge in Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu: the link to the far bank is the Handfield ferry, from April to December. No bridge either in Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu, where the seasonal ferry at the end of rue de l'Union is no substitute for a truck — it arrives via Belœil or beyond. In Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, by-law 0278 restricts heavy vehicles on the Gouin bridge to protect the structure. So the bank your address sits on changes the route, and the route changes the hour: that is exactly what we go over with you on the phone.

The rest does not change from one region to the next: three mixed sizes and four single-material dumpsters, detailed in the dumpster size guide; residential conditions on Homeowners and job-site swaps on Contractors; and everything that builds the price, published on the Pricing page.

Here, planning the delivery matters more

The service is the same everywhere — it is the road that changes. What is included is on the left; what we check with you before the truck leaves is on the right.

Included with every dumpster

  • 7 rental days for homeowners, 15 for contractors — the clock stops as soon as you authorize pick-up
  • Delivery (generally between 6:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.) and pick-up
  • PROTEC-O-SOL planks under the box: your asphalt and pavers are protected
  • A tonnage allowance by size: 1 tonne (10 yards), 2 tonnes (20 yards), 4 tonnes (40 yards)
  • The dispatcher's advice: size, placement, your municipality's rules

What we check before we leave

  • The bank: neither Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu nor Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu has a bridge — the truck comes up the side you are on
  • The road: in Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu, trucks of 4,500 kg and up are barred from the 37 municipal streets and rangs, except for a local delivery like ours
  • Bearing capacity: outside the urban perimeters the driveway is often gravel, and stretches of rang road can close during the spring thaw
  • The septic system: on a rang, the dumpster goes on the driveway, never over a leaching field
  • The ditch: in Saint-Marc-sur-Richelieu, the by-law counts public ditches as part of the public road — the spot is chosen in advance
  • The lead time: same day if dumpsters are available, ideally 24 to 48 hours ahead, Monday to Friday

What our drivers know, area by area

A suburban street and a rang road are not loaded the same way. Here is what actually changes on the ground, from one end of the territory to the other.

The areaWhat changes on the ground
ChamblyOld Chambly and avenue Bourgogne line up tight lots: this is where the 10-yard rule of thumb is worth gold — same footprint as a 20, simply lower. On the business side, the boulevard Industriel industrial park has no dedicated exit off Highway 10; access runs alongside the highway by rue Patrick-Farrar. Chambly page
Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Otterburn Park, McMasterville, Saint-Basile-le-GrandThe foot of the mountain, Route 116 and the rail line. In Saint-Basile-le-Grand, the rail line “divides the municipality in two parts”, says the urban plan: the delivery hour is chosen accordingly. Mont-Saint-Hilaire
The riverside villages: Saint-Mathias, Saint-Marc, Saint-Charles, Saint-DenisA village core packed along the river, then the rangs and farmland — over 96% of the territory in Saint-Mathias-sur-Richelieu, over 97% in Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu. The chemin des Patriotes (Route 133) falls under the ministère des Transports: in Saint-Mathias-sur-Richelieu it is a restricted trucking route on the arterial network; in Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu it is the 37 municipal streets and rangs that are closed to trucks, not the 133. The spot is confirmed at booking, never once the truck is in the yard. Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu
Saint-Ours and Sorel-TracyThe MRC de Pierre-De Saurel, which describes itself as a rural setting over 90% of its territory. In Sorel-Tracy, the Vieux-Sorel grid laid out in the 1780s around the Carré Royal means narrow lots and short driveways; the Joseph-Simard and Ludger-Simard industrial parks, on the other hand, take the 40 yard. Sorel-Tracy
Saint-Hyacinthe, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Saint-RémiThree hubs, three logics. The Maskoutain city and its Cité de la biotechnologie; Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, split in two by the river, with its Saint-Jean, Iberville, Saint-Luc, L'Acadie and Saint-Athanase sectors; and Saint-Rémi, whose agricultural zone covers 95% of the territory, on black market-garden soils. Saint-Hyacinthe

Every city has its own page, with its verified local rules — permit, parking, placement — and what our drivers know about the ground there.

Your MRC's ecocentre, and where it stops

The Montérégie we serve straddles several MRCs, and the door is not the same from one municipality to the next. Rouville runs two: Marieville and Saint-Césaire. Saint-Rémi has one inside the town itself.

The quota, though, runs out fast. In La Vallée-du-Richelieu the free allowance is 12 m³ a year — about 15.7 cubic yards, calculated from the figures the MRC publishes — while a single 20 cubic yard dumpster holds 15.3. In Rouville, the six annual construction-waste visits of roughly 0.4 m³ each do not add up to 3 m³: a 10 yard holds 7.6, a 40 yard 30.6. For a car trunk, the ecocentre is the right answer; for a job site, the dumpster remains the only continuous route.

And for a business, the door is simply shut: « Industries, commerces et institutions non autorisés », writes the MRC de La Vallée-du-Richelieu, which also turns away lettered trucks; the MRC de Pierre-De Saurel keeps its site for residents and accepts nothing coming out of a commercial business. In several municipalities here the by-law goes further and requires the dumpster on the job site — in Chambly, in Saint-Marc-sur-Richelieu, in Saint-Basile-le-Grand, and in Saint-Ours for a demolition. The details, checked by-law in hand, are on each city page.

Questions people ask us in the Montérégie

Do you deliver out on the rang roads?

Yes: from the village core out to the rangs. Two things get settled on the phone rather than in the yard. Bearing capacity first — outside the urban perimeters the driveway is often gravel, and stretches of rang road can close during the spring thaw. Then the septic system: on a rang, just about anything not hooked up to services has a leaching field, and the dumpster goes on the driveway, never over it. Trucking bans do not stop us: in Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu as in Saint-Ours, the by-law exempts trucks coming to deliver or pick up a load.

How far ahead should I book?

Same day if dumpsters are available, ideally 24 to 48 hours ahead, Monday to Friday. Deliveries generally happen between 6:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., with no guaranteed time. In the Montérégie that lead time is worth more than elsewhere: the distances between two stops are longer, and a day is built around the areas being served. Call early at 514 708-2424 — weekdays from 6 a.m., weekends from 8 a.m.

My address is on the other bank of the river: does that change anything?

For you, no — for the truck's route, yes. There is no bridge in Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu, where the link is the Handfield ferry from April to December, nor in Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu, whose seasonal ferry is no substitute for a bridge for a truck: it arrives via Belœil or beyond. In Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, by-law 0278 restricts heavy vehicles on the Gouin bridge. Give us the exact address when you book: the route and the hour are planned from there.

Is the price the same as in Montreal?

It can vary, yes. The region and geographic zone influence hauling cost, and therefore the price — it is one of the five points we go through with you on the phone, along with size, material, duration and weight. What never changes is what is included: delivery, pick-up, rental days, tonnage allowance and PROTEC-O-SOL planks. The Pricing page publishes the full list of what is included and of the only possible extras; the exact, firm figure is given in two minutes, once we know your address.

Can my MRC's ecocentre replace the dumpster?

For a car trunk, yes. For a job site, the quotas settle it: in La Vallée-du-Richelieu the free allowance is 12 m³ a year — about 15.7 cubic yards from the MRC's own figures — while a single 20 yard holds 15.3; in Rouville, the six annual construction-waste visits add up to less than 3 m³. And for a business the door is closed: « Industries, commerces et institutions non autorisés » in La Vallée-du-Richelieu, lettered trucks refused, and nothing out of a commercial business in Pierre-De Saurel.

Is a dumpster mandatory on a job site?

In several municipalities here, yes. In Chambly, anyone undertaking construction work must install a dumpster on site from the start of the work and replace it as soon as it is 90% full. In Saint-Marc-sur-Richelieu, « for any construction or demolition project, the owner or the person carrying out the work must obtain a dumpster ». In Saint-Basile-le-Grand, the holder of a building permit must install one on site. In Saint-Ours, the by-law requires one to demolish. Each city page cites the by-law and its section.

A dispatcher who knows your rang roads and your bridges

One call confirms the size, the exact price and the delivery date — and the dumpster's spot before the truck leaves. Seven days a week.
