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

Not for the dumpster itself, if it sits entirely in your driveway. We word it carefully because the conclusion comes from an absence of provision: section 29 of the permits and certificates by-law lists fourteen items subject to a certificate of authorization, and the temporary dumpster is not one of them; the zoning by-law only mentions containers as prohibited buildings or as permanent commercial enclosures. The Municipality writes it nowhere in so many words — if your case raises a doubt, the building and environment inspector answers at 450 584-3484 or urbanisme@saint-charles-sur-richelieu.ca, Monday to Thursday. The job site, however, often does need a permit: the exemption stops at $20,000 of work without changes to partitions or openings, and sooner still in sectors subject to the PIIA.

Not without authorization, and we can promise you nothing there. Occupation of the public domain is prohibited without authorization (by-law 277-13-004, s. 2), and G4-2025 forbids obstructing the public road by depositing materials or objects “regardless of their nature” (s. 16 b). The only door expressly provided is section 37 of the construction by-law: during work covered by a permit, encroaching on the right-of-way is possible on six conditions, including at most one third of the road's width, signage maintained at all times and a height capped at 1.8 metres. Since the 2026 fee by-law provides neither a rate nor a form for temporary occupation, the actual procedure gets confirmed with the Municipality — we call together at 450 584-3484, Monday to Thursday.

For a car trunk, yes: the free quota is 12 m³ per year — about 15.7 cubic yards, calculated from the MRC's official figures — then $2.50 per 0.1 m³. For a job site, the mechanics close in: the centre is in Mont-Saint-Hilaire, less than 15 kilometres away, closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays in summer and open only three days a week in winter; only passenger cars and pickups are admitted, with a non-tipping trailer and a rig under 7.5 m; and everything is unloaded by hand, engine off. Every trip is hauled yourself. On the other side: a 10 yard holds 7.6 m³, a 20 yard 15.3 m³, a 40 yard 30.6 m³ — delivered and picked up in your driveway.

No, and it is written in plain terms: “Industries, businesses and institutions not authorized”; contractors and materials from commercial activities are refused, and lettered trucks are not admitted on site — except with prior authorization issued by the MRC to a citizen hauling materials from their own home. The moment a contractor does the work, the drop-off centre's door closes: the debris goes through a dumpster. That is also the Municipality's own logic, which requires the demolition certificate application to state “the method chosen for the disposal of materials” — a one-line answer when a dumpster is booked.

No. Garbage passes once every three weeks — 17 collections on the MRC's 2026 calendar, all on Mondays — in a single wheeled bin per address, and the refusal list names the job site precisely: gypsum, ceramics, concrete, asphalt, asphalt shingles, mortar, brick, mineral wool, wood boards, mouldings, planks, doors, along with soil, sand, gravel and rock. Each item is capped at 25 kg and 1.2 metres, and the calendar states that whatever goes in the garbage “is sent to landfill, without being sorted”. The bulky-item collection — monthly, by reservation before the preceding Friday noon — also refuses construction, renovation and demolition materials.

In the village, the urban plan itself speaks of “narrow streets” and “a very tight urban fabric”: the spot gets chosen ahead, factoring in the sight triangle on corner lots — 7.5 metres per side, nothing over 1 metre high. On the rangs, nearly every property has its own septic installation: the dumpster goes on the driveway, never over a leaching field. Two road particulars: Chemin des Patriotes (Route 133) and the Grand Rang answer to the ministère des Transports, and no bridge crosses the Richelieu in the municipality — a truck coming from the west bank passes through Belœil or beyond. As for timing, G4-2025 prohibits any loading or unloading between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m.: we deliver in the daytime window.

Every one of our dumpsters is delivered with the PROTEC-O-SOL system, built-in planks that spread the load and protect asphalt and pavers alike. Nothing to supply, nothing extra to pay. In Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu, the real precaution lies elsewhere: outside the urban perimeter, properties have their septic tank and leaching field, and it is the driveway — never the lawn — that takes the box. Our drivers' tip, for full protection: four flattened cardboard boxes or a thin sheet of plywood on the chosen spot, before the truck arrives.
