Repentigny is the main industrial pole of the MRC de L'Assomption: more than 250 industrial businesses and over 3,600 jobs, spread across two parks. The one in the Le Gardeur sector covers close to 400 hectares — about a hundred businesses, more than 2,100 workers, General Dynamics alone taking up 80% of it — and the urban plan describes it as having reached saturation. The one in the Repentigny sector, alongside Highway 40 between rue Louvain and boulevard Industriel, is drifting gradually toward a commercial role.
Retail, precisely, carries real weight here: the big-box hub on boulevard Brien totals close to one million square feet between Highway 40 and boulevard Iberville, the Galeries Rive-Nord line up more than 140 stores there, and the city holds 71% of the retail and service commercial floor area of the MRC. Then comes the project of the decade, Avantia: 6 million square feet to be transformed between boulevards Brien and Industriel, the equivalent of 105 football fields, in a sector the city describes as one of Greater Montreal's largest heat islands.
For job sites of that scale, sorting is not even a question: neither the city's ecocentre nor the MRC's ecoparc takes commercial users. 40-yard dumpsters, swaps planned in advance, and the single-material dumpsters, one per material — concrete, asphalt, bricks and mortar, soil-rocks-sod — as soon as the site sorts at source.
