10, 20 and 40 Cubic Yard
Dumpster Rental in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue

No — and for once the answer does not rest on a silence. Construction by-law 886, section 37, writes it out: “Temporary waste containers are authorized in all yards, for a maximum period of 31 days.” Zoning completes it at section 180: a job-site dumpster is allowed provided it is removed at the end of the work and stays at least 1 m from any lot line — 30 cm in the Vieux Sainte-Anne sector. No certificate is provided for placing a dumpster on private land in the closed list of by-law 536, and fee by-law 878 prices none. One nuance: both texts speak of a job site or a demolition. A cleanout dumpster, with no work under way, is named by neither — nothing prohibits it, but that is an absence of provision, and we say so plainly. In doubt about your case? Planning department, 514 457-5720.

Yes, with a certificate, and it is not free: the town prices occupancy of public property at $100 per day (by-law 878, 2026 fees). Construction by-law 886, section 38, frames the rest: at most one third of the street width, never wider than your lot frontage, traffic cones making the site visible “at nightfall”, sidewalks left free for pedestrians, restoration to good condition “immediately” after use, and a builder who “warrants and indemnifies the town”. The form requires a signage plan illustrating traffic management and detours, the occupancy dates and the contractor's RBQ number; the town reminds you that signage is your responsibility, that payment is non-refundable and that “this is not an authorization to begin work”. Without that certificate, obstructing the public road is a nuisance and “the town will proceed with the removal of any obstacle on public property at the expense” of the offender. The driveway remains the simplest answer — and if the street is truly needed, we call the town together at 514 457-5500.

Thirty-one days, and the figure comes from the by-law itself: “Temporary waste containers are authorized in all yards, for a maximum period of 31 days” (construction by-law 886, s. 37). Zoning adds that at the end of the work, stored materials and the container “must be removed” (by-law 874, s. 180). Beware of an easy mix-up: the same zoning by-law carries a 90 day limit at section 181, but that one covers “the temporary container for the storage of personal property” — the moving cube, not the debris box. For a waste dumpster, it is 31 days. In practice most residential jobs finish within a week or two, and the $50 Libération Express credit rewards exactly that: a dumpster freed up within 48 hours of delivery, from March to October.

One metre from any lot line — except in Vieux Sainte-Anne, where thirty centimetres is enough. Zoning by-law 874, section 180, says so, and it names “the presence of a container for construction waste” on a job site. The Vieux Sainte-Anne sector is identified on the zoning plan attached to the by-law; it is also the one whose “very narrow streets” the urban plan describes, inherited from a town laid out before the automobile. The difference is not cosmetic: on a tight village lot, a metre of setback would make the driveway unusable, and the town acknowledged it. Our drivers measure that strip with you when you book — and keep the dumpster out of the ground projection of the trees' crowns, where zoning forbids placing any material, debris, tool or equipment.

Not before 10 a.m., and that is not our choice. By-law 883, section 6.3, is one of the few in Québec to name “the delivery of materials”, not just the noise of tools: it is prohibited before 7 a.m. and after 8 p.m. Monday to Friday, and before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. The weekend window is therefore only eight hours long. The same schedule applies to construction, alteration, repair and demolition work. This is the kind of detail that ruins a weekend of work when nobody mentions it in advance: we set the drop-off for late Friday or late Saturday morning, and plan the pickup at the same time.

For a car trunk, yes. For a job site, no — and geography settles it before the rules do: there is no drop-off centre in the west end of the island, the nearest of the agglomeration's seven being Saint-Laurent, at 3535 rue Sartelon. Agglomeration residents get 12 m³ of construction residues free per year, then $31 per cubic metre; a construction business pays $31 per m³ from the very first. The site is closed on Mondays year-round and also on Sundays from October 15 to April 14, “no mechanical means (e.g. tipping trailer) may be used to unload materials” and “drop-off centre staff do not assist with unloading”. On the municipal side, the special construction materials collection does exist, but it is capped at 3 cubic metres per property, once a year, at $65 per cubic metre, on prior notice to the town. Conversion markers: a 10 yard box holds 7.6 m³, a 20 yard 15.3 m³, a 40 yard 30.6 m³. A single 10 yard box is more than double the town's annual maximum.

Yes, and it is recent. Since August 15, 2026, the town has reserved for residents “certain portions of Rues Maple, Brown, Perrault and Saint-Georges”, identified “by signage on site”: parking there is prohibited from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, from August 15 to May 31, and only vehicles carrying the town’s square permit may park. The square permit itself is issued free to residents of Rues Adam, Brown, Maple, Perrault and Saint-Georges, “because of the scarcity of parking spaces during the school term”. The context explains the measure: the Macdonald Campus covers 650 hectares and hosts more than 12,000 students and staff during the school year, close to three times the town's population. In practice, in that sector and during the school year, the useful window for a truck is the evening, the weekend or the summer — crossed with the permitted delivery hours (7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends), it is narrow. Tell us the address when you book: it changes the hour, not the price.

Every one of our dumpsters arrives with the PROTEC-O-SOL system, built-in planks that spread the load beneath the box: 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. It is not a manufacturer's trick — it is exactly what the town requires to protect the ground around a tree during work lasting less than a month: “lay sheets of plywood at least 2 cm thick, planks, or wooden logs at least 10 cm thick”. Two other points get settled on the phone: the headroom above the driveway, knowing the town requires only 3 m of vertical clearance under branches hanging over a street, and how soft the ground is after rain, which changes where the truck sets up.
