10, 20 and 40 Cubic Yard
Dumpster Rental in Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieu

Not for the dumpster itself, if it sits on your own lot. The conclusion comes from a verification: the word “conteneur” appears neither in permits and certificates by-law 2009-005 nor in construction by-law 2009-004; the list of thirteen certificates of authorization in section 4.18 is closed and covers none; and neither do the two fee tables in section 5.1. The location, however, is regulated: zoning allows the “conteneur de déchets” in the side yards and the rear yard for a residential use. And the job site often does need a permit, with a processing time recorded at 30 days. In doubt about your case? Planning department, 450 787-3497, Monday to Thursday.

Zoning by-law 2009-002 names the “conteneur de déchets” at line 12 of the table in section 5.3 and allows it, for a residential use, in the side yards and the rear yard; it marks it “no” in the front yard and the secondary front yard. That is a cell in the table, not an interpretation — and the table does not distinguish a building's permanent container from a rental box dropped for seven days of work. We will not settle that question in the municipality's place: we validate the spot with the planning department before delivery (450 787-3497, urbanisme@sasr.ca — office closed on Fridays). Three other rules apply everywhere: there must be a main building on the lot, the equipment must stay on the same lot as the use it serves (s. 5.48), and nothing may be placed on a vacant lot (by-law 2009-004, s. 3.20).

During work, a path exists — but it is marked out. You need a certificate of authorization to use the public road (by-law 2009-005, s. 4.18 m; recorded processing time: 30 days) and a public-domain occupancy permit, whose by-law 2024-07 expressly names construction-site containers (s. 11 b). The application requires $2,000,000 of civil liability insurance with the municipality named as co-insured, a scale plan, signage to the transport ministry's Volume V standards, and no-parking signs posted at least 72 hours ahead. The analysis criterion says outright that the street is a last resort: the applicant must show that the work “cannot be carried out on the property” (s. 35 a). Outside of work, the answer is no: obstructing a public road “by depositing materials or objects of any nature whatsoever” is a strictly prohibited nuisance (by-law 2019-005, s. 16).

Nowhere — and that is the whole point of this page. The Vallée-du-Richelieu garbage collection refuses construction and renovation debris by name, and “dry materials (soil, sand, gravel, rock)”; the bin is capped at 360 litres, at three bins per dwelling, and “surplus garbage is not accepted beside the bin”. The bulky waste collection, booked by noon on the preceding Friday, refuses exactly the same materials. And there is no drop-off centre on the territory: the municipality is not among the ten served by its own county's facility, and its page points to a service point of the MRC de Marguerite-D'Youville, in Contrecœur or Varennes. The grid that county publishes runs from $90 to $340 for sorted materials and $130 to $500 for a mixed load, and it stops at 400 cubic feet. A 10 yard box holds 270; a 20 yard, 540 — past the whole grid.

From 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., every day. By-law 2019-005 on safety, peace and order declares it a prohibited nuisance to disturb the neighbourhood “between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m.” by carrying out construction, demolition or repair work — and it expressly names “loading or unloading” (s. 2.4). The by-law sets no separate regime for Saturday and Sunday: the window is the same seven days a week. Our trucks also respect the 5-minute idling cap, whose written exception covers an engine “used to perform work or an auxiliary function of the vehicle” — the lifting arm during the manoeuvre, not a truck left waiting (s. 5).

Two calendar days — the tightest delay we have come across. Construction by-law 2009-004 puts it this way: “No later than two calendar days after the end of the demolition work, the lot must be cleared of all debris or material and left in a clean state” (s. 3.25), with open excavations filled or the lot fenced within the same delay. The same section requires demolition materials to be hauled off site; section 3.24 prohibits burning them on the premises and section 3.23 requires watering them down against dust. With a delay like that, the dumpster on site — rather than a pile to be cleared later — is the only realistic way to comply. Note as well: the municipality has a separate demolition by-law (2023-03); check your case with the planning department.

Every one of our dumpsters is delivered with the PROTEC-O-SOL system: built-in planks that spread the load, on asphalt, on pavers and on grass alike. Nothing to supply, nothing extra to pay. The question comes up more here than elsewhere, because zoning sends the “conteneur de déchets” to the side yards and the rear yard — so often onto grass, and sometimes at thaw, when the ground bears less well. Our drivers' tip, for full protection: four flattened cardboard boxes or a thin sheet of plywood on the chosen spot before the truck arrives. And we keep a 1.50 metre radius clear around every fire hydrant's operating nut, as fire safety by-law 2011-09 requires.
