Dumpster rental in Saint-Hippolyte

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

Frequently asked questions — Saint-Hippolyte

Do I need a permit to place a dumpster in Saint-Hippolyte?

Not for the dumpster itself, if it sits entirely on your land for the length of a job site or a clean-out. We word it carefully because the conclusion comes from an absence of provision: the word « conteneur » appears neither in by-law 1174-19 on permits and certificates, nor in construction by-law 1173-19, nor in the urban plan, nor in the fee by-law, and the closed list of 26 certificates of authorization covers no such case. The job site, however, often does need a permit: from 5,000 $ of renovation, and regardless of cost for any structural change, any opening cut, any change of cladding material or the addition of a bedroom. In doubt about your case? Planning department, 450 563-2505, extension 2224.

Can I have the dumpster placed on the street in front of my house?

Only during construction work, and that is a Saint-Hippolyte particularity: section 2.6.3 of the construction by-law itself authorizes « temporary occupancy of the public domain […] for the duration of the work », provided it does not obstruct circulation, with the applicant bearing roadway repairs and responsibility for « any injury to persons or damage to property ». Outside that case, no: throwing or depositing refuse in a street is forbidden (by-law SQ-901, s. 15), soiling the public domain is a nuisance to be cleaned up within the hour (by-law SQ-913, s. 9), and overnight parking on public roads is banned in winter. Our position: the spot is in your driveway, and that is where we deliver.

Is it true that job site debris must be in a container in Saint-Hippolyte?

Yes, and it is written in plain terms. Section 2.6.6 of construction by-law 1173-19 reads: « Construction debris or waste must be placed in containers provided for that purpose. » Section 5 of by-law SQ-913 also makes it a nuisance to leave or deposit « demolition debris, construction materials […] on or in any immovable in the municipality ». And section 25 of by-law 1140-17 requires every applicant for a construction, renovation or demolition permit to haul their residues to a sorting or drop-off centre, the town reserving « the right to require proof » of it. So the dumpster is the compliant way to keep debris on a lot during work — and the documented trip is the proof you may be asked for.

How far from the lake can the dumpster be placed?

More than 10 metres from the shoreline, and it is the town that writes it in plain language on its form for placing materials on private land: « no material may be placed within 10 metres of the shoreline of any watercourse, lake or wetland ». Zoning repeats it for excavated soil in section 7.6.1. Careful: the shoreline strip can be 15 metres where the slope is continuous and over 30% or where the bank rises more than 5 metres, and a closed wetland of 500 m² or more brings a 15 metre protection strip. Within the shoreline strip « all constructions, works and undertakings are prohibited in principle », and any intervention there requires a certificate at a fee of 220 $. With 62 lakes on the territory, it is the first measurement we take on the phone.

Can the Saint-Hippolyte drop-off centre replace a dumpster?

For household hazardous waste, cardboard, metal, tires or an old refrigerator, yes — it is the right address, at 2056 chemin des Hauteurs. For a job site, no: the regional county's fee grid is explicit, « only the Saint-Jérôme and Sainte-Sophie drop-off centres accept CRD debris ». So you drive down to Saint-Jérôme, where the first 2 m³ per year and per address are free, then it is 50 $ per cubic metre. Add that soil and gravel are refused at every drop-off centre in the county, that the minimum is 0.5 m³ per visit, that « unloading the materials is your responsibility », 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.

Will the dumpster damage my gravel driveway or my septic tank?

Two answers, because there are two distinct risks in Saint-Hippolyte. For the surface: every one of our dumpsters is delivered with the PROTEC-O-SOL system, built-in planks that spread the load — zoning asks of a residential driveway only a surface that prevents « any raising of dust and forming of mud », and the town even encourages gravel and porous pavers, so the protection comes as standard. Nothing to supply, nothing extra to pay; for full protection, lay four flattened cardboard boxes or a thin sheet of plywood on the chosen spot. For the tank: since there is no municipal sewer anywhere on the territory, nearly every property has its tank and treatment field. Locate the two lids before delivery and tell us where they are: the dumpster goes in the driveway, never on a treatment field.

My road is closed to trucks — can you still deliver?

Yes. By-law SQ-908 bans trucks of 4,500 kg or more from 10e Rang, Chemin du Lac-Écho and Chemin des Quatorze-Îles, and from Chemin du Lac-Bertrand between midnight and 6:30 a.m. Monday to Friday. But its section 5 is unambiguous: « Sections 3 and 4 do not apply to trucks and tool-vehicles making a local delivery. » A « local delivery » is defined there as one made within the restricted zone to pick up or deliver goods, provide a service or carry out work. Through traffic is what the ban targets, not a delivery to your home. The urban plan does note that several roads near the lakes are private, « with a narrow right of way », end in cul-de-sacs and present « certain access difficulties »: tell us the road when you book and we plan the move ahead.

What our drivers check before the box comes down

We deliver everywhere in Saint-Hippolyte, from the village sector to the lake roads, and the dumpster's spot gets chosen on the phone rather than in the driveway. Here the first question is not how wide the lane is: it is the septic tank. « There is no municipal sewer system anywhere on the municipality's territory », the town writes, and the water main « is limited to the village sector », where it serves the primary school, about fifty homes, a few businesses, the public housing building, town hall, the church and the presbytery. So nearly every property has its tank, its treatment field and its well. A loaded 20 yard box has no business on a septic field: what we ask is that you locate the tank's two lids before delivery — the town already asks you to mark them for the pump-out it handles itself, every two years when the tank feeds a treatment field — and that the box stay in the driveway.

The second thing is the driveway itself, and zoning puts numbers on it. A residential access lane measures 2.50 to 9 metres wide; only one is allowed on a lot less than 25 metres across, two beyond that, with 3 metres between them. The parking area must stay one metre from the lot lines and may not take up more than 30% of the front yard. And the surface is not the suburban one: for a residential driveway, zoning asks only for a surface that prevents « any raising of dust and forming of mud » (s. 5.2.3; asphalt and concrete become mandatory only from five spaces up), and the town encourages gravel, porous pavers and grass pavers on its erosion and run-off page — because at least 80% of the water from a two-year storm must be infiltrated on the lot itself. That is exactly what the PROTEC-O-SOL system is for, and it comes with every box: built-in planks that spread the load. Nothing to supply, nothing extra to pay. Our drivers' tip for full protection: four flattened cardboard boxes or a thin sheet of plywood on the chosen spot, before the truck arrives.

The third is the distance to the water, and it is the siting question unique to Saint-Hippolyte. The urban plan counts 62 lakes on the territory, and the town writes the rule in plain language on its form for placing materials on private land: « no material may be placed within 10 metres of the shoreline of any watercourse, lake or wetland ». The shoreline strip is 10 metres, or 15 where the slope exceeds 30%, and a closed wetland of 500 m² or more brings a 15 metre protection strip. Add the buffer strip that must stay natural — 6 metres in the front yard, 3 metres at the sides and rear — and the 70% of natural space to be kept at all times on a lot of 5,000 m² or more. On a wooded lot by a lake, the area where a dumpster can lawfully sit is the driveway and the parking space. We say so when you book, not once the truck has arrived.

Contractors and property managers in Saint-Hippolyte

Saint-Hippolyte has no urbanization perimeter — the regional county's revised land-use and development plan « identifies no urbanization perimeter » for the municipality — and its own urban plan designates just two industrial areas. Commercial activity sits in two hubs along Route 333, the village sector and the town-entrance sector. What it does have is housing stock to renovate. According to the urban plan, drawing on the 2016 census, 90.8% of dwellings are detached single-family homes, 85.1% of households are owners — against 66.5% in the regional county and 61.2% in Québec — 46.8% of dwellings were built before 1980 and 6.9% need major repairs. Add a seasonal clientele: 20.5% of dwellings are occupied by non-permanent residents, and the town counts about 12,000 seasonal residents in summer. Our rotations are built around that: 40 yard dumpsters for job sites that move, photo tracking of every delivery, SMS notifications on drop-off and pick-up, flexible pick-up as your work progresses.

The argument that matters most to a Saint-Hippolyte contractor fits in one line of by-law. Section 25 of by-law 1140-17 requires every applicant for a construction, renovation or demolition permit to send their residues to a sorting centre or a drop-off centre, and adds that « the municipality reserves the right to require proof » that those materials were hauled there. A dumpster rented from a company that documents its trips gives you exactly that proof; a trailer loaded by hand does not. Two logistics details we settle ahead of time: noisy work is allowed Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, and trucks of 4,500 kg or more are banned from 10e Rang, Chemin du Lac-Écho and Chemin des Quatorze-Îles — except that by-law SQ-908 expressly exempts « trucks and tool-vehicles making a local delivery ». So a Lac Écho waterfront home can be served; what the ban targets is through traffic, not delivery.

For a property manager, the municipal logic is written down: the town's collection containers, front-loading and 2 to 8 cubic yards, are reserved for commercial and institutional units, municipal buildings and buildings of more than 6 dwellings, and a commercial unit « may also be served and bound by private contract » for the collection, transport and disposal of its waste. We take that mandate. Finally, the 50 $ Libération Express credit rewards fast job sites: it applies when the dumpster is freed up within 48 hours of delivery, during the March-to-October high season.

In winter the driveway is shared — and the street is no fallback

In Saint-Hippolyte the street is not closed at all times: it is closed at night, in winter. And since the town's two sources do not give the same dates, here are both. By-law SQ-900, section 26, in its administrative codification current to July 10, 2025, prohibits parking any vehicle on public roads « from November 15 to December 23 inclusively, and from January 3 to April 15 inclusively each year, between midnight and seven in the morning ». The town's « Déneigement » page instead reads: November 15 to December 23, December 27 to 30, and January 3 to April 1, between midnight and 7 a.m. We plan on the longer period — the safer one for you — and any doubt is settled at 450 563-2505. In municipal parking lots the ban runs from November 15 to April 15, midnight to 7 a.m.

What winter mostly changes is how crowded the driveway gets. Zoning allows two temporary shelters per main building or per lot, from October 15 to May 1, more than one metre from a lot line, no larger than 50 m² and no taller than 3 metres. Two shelters is double what many towns allow — and it is half as much room for a dumpster. The snow, for its part, has nowhere to go but your own property: by-law 1225-22 forbids carting, pushing, blowing or dumping it onto the public road, « onto lakes, water bodies and wetlands » or into ditches, and zoning adds that storing snow may not reduce the minimum number of parking spaces required. A snow-clearing contractor working here holds an annual municipal permit, valid October 15 to May 1, with proof of at least 1,000,000 $ in liability insurance.

And in winter the municipal way out is shut. According to the regional county's 2026 calendar, the Saint-Hippolyte drop-off centre opens only from April 22 to October 24, Wednesday to Saturday; outside that window only the regional facility in Saint-Jérôme still takes material — and it is in any case the only one, along with Sainte-Sophie, that accepts construction debris. Add snow clearing, triggered « after snowfalls of 5 to 7.5 cm » across more than 198 km of roads and 1.62 km of sidewalks, and a Saint-Hippolyte driveway has to hold the snow, the bins, sometimes two shelters, and the dumpster. Since the street is no fallback, that gets planned when you book.

Why the drop-off centre is not enough in Saint-Hippolyte

Saint-Hippolyte has its own drop-off centre, at 2056 chemin des Hauteurs, at the municipal garage — but it does not accept construction debris. The La Rivière-du-Nord regional county groups five municipalities — Prévost, Saint-Colomban, Saint-Hippolyte, Saint-Jérôme and Sainte-Sophie — and runs four drop-off centres, operated by Tricentris under a contract running to December 31, 2029. For household hazardous waste, cardboard, metal, tires or an old refrigerator, the local address is the right one. For a job site, the door closes, and here is where.

The rule	What it means for a job site
Construction debris is refused here	« Only the Saint-Jérôme and Sainte-Sophie drop-off centres accept CRD debris » — regional county fee grid
2 m³ free per year, then 50 $ per cubic metre	At the regional facility in Saint-Jérôme, and « the free allowance applies per address, not per resident ». A 10 yard box holds 7.6 m³
Soil and gravel refused everywhere in the county	As are branches, stumps, logs and yard waste — 2026 « accepted materials » sheet
Open Wednesday to Saturday only	April 22 to October 24, 2026 per the regional county calendar, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., « last entry: 4:15 p.m. »
Everything is unloaded by hand	« Unloading the materials is your responsibility », closed shoes required, minimum 0.5 m³ per visit
The address holder must be present	Otherwise a signed power of attorney detailing the types and quantities of material is required

At the curb, the fallback is thinner still. Only one black bin per address is allowed and emptied, apart from four exceptions to be re-requested before February 1 each year; the brown bin expressly refuses construction, renovation and demolition residues, along with rocks, gravel and treated, painted or stained wood. The bulky waste collection runs every month with no sign-up, items out on the Sunday, up to ten bulky items — one item being « the volume of a 360-litre wheeled bin » — but it refuses « all bulk materials such as rock, stone, soil, concrete, asphalt, tree stumps » and « all materials from demolition or renovation carried out by contractors or requiring a permit ». What remains is what by-law 1140-17 requires in section 25: haul the residues to a sorting or drop-off centre, with proof if the town asks for it. That is precisely what a dumpster does.

The municipal collection guide says « May to November » where the county calendar gives April 22 to October 24: the drop-off centre answers at 450 569-0451.
