10, 20 and 40 Cubic Yard Dumpster Rental in Pointe-Calumet

No published by-law requires one for the dumpster itself, if it sits entirely on your land. We word it carefully because the conclusion comes from an absence of provision: the list of certificates of authorization in section 3.5 of by-law 307-91 is closed — ten items, none for a waste dumpster — and the fee schedule sets no charge either. Two honest reservations: the planning codification online stops at January 1, 2021, while by-law 308-89-24, adopted April 11, 2024, « revised the provisions relating to accessory constructions, buildings, uses and equipment authorized in the various yards and setbacks »; and three by-laws in force are not published. The job site, however, often does need a permit — stated turnaround: 10 business days. In doubt? Planning department, 450 473-5930, extension 228.

We do not promise it, and here is why. The town publishes only two general parking rules: a ban « at all times » where signs prohibit parking, and a ban on all public roads between midnight and 7 a.m., from November 1 to April 15. The street-by-street detail lives in schedules « A » and « H » of by-law 380-97, amended almost every year and never published: knowing what applies in front of a given address takes a call to 450 473-5930. As for objects, section 14.5 of the construction by-law forbids encumbering a roadway with snow, ice « or other objects » from private land. So the spot is in your driveway — that is where we deliver.

Yes, and it writes it twice. Écocentre page: « Contractors cannot drop their construction debris at the drop-off centre. You must therefore take the necessary steps to book a dumpster for the major construction and/or renovation work you carry out on the territory of the Municipality. » Waste collection page: « No contractor will be accepted. You must take the necessary means (dumpster, etc.) to dispose of your materials. » The construction by-law points the same way: its section 14.6 prohibits refuse and « construction materials in disorder » on a lot during the construction of a building, and lets council have the lot cleaned at the owner's expense.

For a car trunk, yes: it is at 720, 38ᵉ Rue, open to residents on proof of residence. For a job site, no — and the town says so before we do. Contractors are excluded; debris must be sorted by material before arrival and « must result from small jobs and therefore be of a reasonable quantity », failing which « the drop-off centre attendant will have to refuse access to the site »; a fee applies to certain materials (« between 5 $ and 160 $, depending on quantity », cash or debit); and in 2026, from January 10 to April 11, it opens only four Saturdays. Add that the bulky waste collection refuses construction debris by name and runs only seven times a year, and the arithmetic is quick: a 10 yard box holds 7.6 m³, a 20 yard 15.3 m³, a 40 yard 30.6 m³.

Yes — and it is a local particularity not to be confused with neighbouring towns. The Écocentre page names concrete among the accepted construction and renovation materials, alongside metal, construction lumber and mineral wool; asphalt shingles, for their part, are admitted for « small jobs only ». So what blocks you in Pointe-Calumet is not the material, it is the volume: a concrete floor broken up with a jackhammer is not a « small job » and will not pass the « reasonable quantity » test. That is exactly the case our single-material dumpsters are built for — concrete alone, or brick and mortar alone — in 20 cubic yards. Note: soil, brick, gypsum, ceramic and road asphalt do not appear on the list of accepted materials published by the town; before loading the car, call 450 473-5930.

It is the most frequent question here, and a fair one. The town's snow-clearing policy, adopted January 16, 2024, writes that « the territory has only 4 access points to get in and out », that « several of our roads are very narrow and often end in a cul-de-sac », especially in the eastern part, and that there is « no sidewalk on the territory » — pedestrians use corridors along the edge of the roadway. The town even has its plows mounted « on the right side of the trucks » so cul-de-sac streets can be cleared « without having to reverse too much ». A straight truck meets the same geometry: that is why we ask for the address and the approach side when you book. Useful benchmark: a 20 yard box is roughly the size of a Dodge Caravan, and a 10 yard takes the same footprint while simply being lower.

No: there are decibels. Unlike several neighbouring towns, Pointe-Calumet publishes no time window specific to construction work. Its municipal by-laws page prohibits as a nuisance « any noise emitted between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. the following day, of an intensity of forty (40) decibels or more, at the boundary of the lot the noise comes from » and « any noise emitted between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., of an intensity of sixty (60) decibels or more » at the same measuring point. A truck and a box get measured, not scheduled. We publish the thresholds, not invented hours — and if by-law 378-97 on nuisances, which is not published online, contains others, it can be consulted at the municipal office, 300 avenue Basile-Routhier.

Every one of our dumpsters is delivered with the PROTEC-O-SOL system, built-in planks that spread the load — over asphalt, pavers, gravel and sand alike. Nothing to supply, nothing extra to pay. In Pointe-Calumet the question comes up a little differently than elsewhere: the soil is sandy, the urban plan notes « the significance of sand deposits and steep banks along the water bodies (former quarries) », and several streets have no storm sewer, so that during a thaw « accumulated snow and water are slow to drain away ». Our drivers choose the bearing point accordingly. The tip, for full protection: lay four flattened cardboard boxes, or a thin sheet of plywood, on the chosen spot before the truck arrives.
