Our dumpster sizes

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.

10 cubic yards

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.

Bathroom renovation
Garage and house cleanout
Small shed demolition

For guidance only — the exact size cannot be guaranteed.

20 cubic yards

14' long × 8' wide × 5' high · 6 to 8 pickup-truck loads

About the size of a Dodge Caravan — you can already picture it

Kitchen or bathroom renovation
Full garage and house cleanout
Shed demolition

40 cubic yards

20' long × 8' wide × 7' high · 12 to 16 pickup-truck loads

Not sure which size to pick?

Our practical guide helps you choose the right size for your project — renovation, demolition, soil, concrete, bricks, asphalt — with the conditions and the FAQ.

Choose the right type of dumpster

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:

Dry materials (mixed)

10, 20 and 40 cubic yards

The do-it-all dumpster: wood, drywall, metal, shingles, furniture — mixed, no problem.

Soil, rocks and sod only

20 yard — the only size offered

Excavation, grading, sod removal — soil, rocks and sod, nothing else.

Concrete only

20 yard — the only size offered

Walkways, slabs, foundations — broken concrete, nothing else.

Bricks and mortar only

20 yard — the only size offered

Walls, chimneys, masonry facing — bricks and mortar, nothing else.

Asphalt only

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.

Strictly refused, in every dumpster

Tires

Paint and solvents refused in every dumpster

Propane, aerosols, acids

Frequently asked questions — Montréal-Nord

Which ground does the occupancy permit cover in Montréal-Nord?

Public property, with no exception: street, alley, sidewalk, bike path, median, public square or park. The Montréal-Nord tab of the Montreal procedure names dumpsters in its list of covered installations. For private property, the borough displays “Renseignements à venir”: we will therefore not claim that no permit is required there. 311 answers case by case, and while that happens we get the delivery ready — 514 708-2424.

What rates does Montréal-Nord publish for the street and for an alley?

$46 to issue the permit, taxes included, then $75 a day to occupy up to 49 m² of roadway or sidewalk, $104 from 50 to 99 m², and $66 a day for an alley, the strip behind the sidewalk or a surface that is not paved. Every parking space taken on the roadway is billed at $47 per day. The borough does not write whether these lines add up: the official estimate shows on the summary of the online application.

Is the Montréal-Nord permit counter open on Fridays?

No, and it is the costliest trap of the week. At 4243, rue de Charleroi, the counter receives Monday to Thursday from 8:15 a.m. to noon only, and you have to show up at least fifteen minutes before closing. On Friday it stays shut, even though the Bureau Accès Montréal at the same address answers until 12:45 p.m. The permit application itself can be filed online at any hour.

Can you demolish on a Sunday in Montréal-Nord?

Yes. The borough writes that renovation and construction work “is permitted between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., on every day of the week”, and adds that the police service tolerates that kind of work even until 10 p.m. It is one of the widest work-hour regimes on the island: Le Plateau-Mont-Royal stops at 7 p.m. on weekdays and forbids work on statutory holidays. A dumpster delivered on Friday therefore serves both days of the weekend.

Which ecocentre serves Montréal-Nord?

None stands inside the borough. For most of the territory it is the Saint-Michel ecocentre, 2475, rue des Regrattiers (514 872-0384); on the east side, the Rivière-des-Prairies one is just as close, if not closer. Both cap construction-debris visits at 15 a year — unlimited visits exist only at LaSalle and at Saint-Laurent. Saint-Michel itself locks its gates every Monday, and on Sundays as well between October 15 and April 14.

Can the truck use one of the sector's green alleys?

Rarely. The municipal green-alley file lists 11 alleys in Montréal-Nord spread over 20 segments, of which 4 are classed “Fermée” and 11 “Partiellement fermée” to car traffic: 15 out of 20. A roll-off truck does not cross a blocked segment. Where an alley stays passable it remains public way — permit required, $66 per day, and $49 more if it has to be closed off.

Which size when municipal collection stops at 2 m³?

Those 2 m³ per address are worth 2.6 cubic yards: a 10-yard dumpster holds nearly four times as much, and the ceiling applies to private individuals only — beyond it, the municipal text points to the private contractor itself. To choose: the 20-yard fits within a Dodge Caravan's footprint, and the 10-yard covers exactly that surface at a lower height, which helps for loading over the side but frees up no room at all in a short driveway.

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.

A housing stock 62% made of walk-up apartment buildings

At the 2016 census, the borough gathered 84,234 residents across 11.1 km², or 7,623 people per square kilometre — 10^th of the nineteen boroughs by population. Housing tells the rest of the story: of 35,105 occupied private dwellings, 62.3% are apartments in buildings of fewer than five storeys (21,875 units), 14.8% sit in a duplex, and only 7.3% are single detached houses. That share of low-rise apartments is the highest of any territory we have documented so far. Add that 72% of households rent — 25,080 of the 35,035 in the occupancy table — that 80% of the stock went up before 1981, and that 8% of dwellings call for major repairs: here the order almost always comes from the building's owner or from his contractor, seldom from the occupant. Tell us first where the truck will be able to stand — off-street parking, a courtyard, or the edge of the roadway with a permit — and the date follows from there.

Two employment corridors wedged against the neighbourhoods

In the brief it filed with the city in September 2016, the borough places its own employment zones: to the south, along the north bank of boulevard Industriel, and to the east, at the Henri-Bourassa junction and along boulevard Albert-Hudon — zones “integrated into the neighbourhoods”, and therefore immediate neighbours of the residential streets. That same document counted 19,015 jobs, 1,485 places of business and 145 manufacturing establishments, with manufacturing accounting for 40.6% of the jobs in those zones, in food, metal and furniture. Redeveloping a lot is work for our single-material dumpsters: one box for concrete, one for bricks and mortar, one for soil-rocks-sod, one for asphalt, each reserved for its own material, since any mixing brings sorting charges. One reservation the borough raises itself: soil contamination. Contaminated soil goes neither to the ecocentre nor out with the household garbage — the city writes “contact a specialized company”, and we will tell you plainly when that is your situation. A word about the reviews: no Google listing carries the Montréal-Nord name. For this sector it is our Montreal listing that answers, rated 5.0 out of 5 on the strength of 59 reviews — and the testimonials reproduced further down each name the branch they come from, one by one.

Winter here: no resident sticker, but signs planted at the last minute

One local oddity makes life simpler: the resident parking sticker “is available everywhere in Montreal except in Montréal-Nord”, and the borough's own tab answers “This service is not offered in this borough.” So there is no resident-reserved zone to negotiate around a dumpster left at the edge of the roadway. Snow loading, on the other hand, wants watching: the borough opens 506 off-street park-and-ride spaces spread over 11 locations — the borough hall, aréna Garon, aréna Fleury, parc Ottawa, parc Sauvé, the bibliothèque Henri-Bourassa and others — to be vacated after 24 hours. Clearing follows three levels of priority: the major arteries first (Henri-Bourassa is the example given), the collector streets next (de Charleroi), then the local streets and the industrial sectors, which come last of all. And unlike LaSalle, Pierrefonds-Roxboro and Verdun, Montréal-Nord has no permanent loading signage: the signs go up just before the operation, and “if you do not comply with the signage in place, your vehicle will be towed and you will receive a fine”. From December through March, aim for a spot off the roadway.

Why the drop-off centre is not enough in Montréal-Nord

Montréal-Nord has no ecocentre on its territory: all seven in the Montreal network stand elsewhere. Six lines are enough to say what that detour makes possible — and what it does not.

The rule	What it means for a job site
Closed on Mondays	All year at Saint-Michel; between October 15 and April 14 the gate is shut Sundays too, and nothing opens at all from December 24 through January 1
12 m³ free per year	A resident's quota for construction debris; $31 per cubic metre past that, amounts not taxable
15 visits, not one more	The ceiling at Saint-Michel as at Rivière-des-Prairies; only the LaSalle and Saint-Laurent ecocentres, and non-profit organizations, escape it
No mechanical means	Dump trailers included — and “ecocentre staff give no help with the unloading”
11 m and 7.4 m	The lengths admitted at Saint-Michel: vehicle with or without a trailer under 11 metres, cube van under 7.4 metres
$31 per m³ for a business	On proof of an establishment on the island, or accompanied by the client whose work it was; weigh-in at $15.50

Kerbside collection is the last way out, and a narrow one. Households alone qualify, and the borough is blunt about it: shops and companies, schools, churches, embassies and other organizations are told to hire privately. The limit is 2 m³ (70 cu ft) per address, receptacles of 25 kg, construction debris tied into bundles of 1 m long by 50 cm across at the most — the tightest ceiling on the island, matched only by Verdun and Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension, while nine boroughs allow 5. Wood, gypsum, brick, concrete, ceramic and asphalt shingles are refused from household garbage on sight; mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture, for their part, go through.
