Our dumpster sizes

Dumpster rental — or bin rental, as many Montrealers call it — for the big cleanout, an estate, a renovation or a demolition: dry materials, soil, concrete, bricks, asphalt and more.

10 cubic yards

14' long × 8' wide × 2.5' high · 3 to 4 pickup-truck loads

A 20-yard filled halfway: same footprint, just lower — choosing it won't free up space in a short driveway.

Bathroom renovation
Garage and house cleanout
Small shed demolition

For guidance only — the exact size cannot be guaranteed.

20 cubic yards

14' long × 8' wide × 5' high · 6 to 8 pickup-truck loads

About the size of a Dodge Caravan — you can already picture it

Kitchen or bathroom renovation
Full garage and house cleanout
Shed demolition

40 cubic yards

20' long × 8' wide × 7' high · 12 to 16 pickup-truck loads

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.

Frequently asked questions — Sainte-Catherine

Do I need a permit to place a dumpster in Sainte-Catherine?

During work covered by a permit: no, the permit is enough — the planning by-law itself says it « gives the builder the right » to install and maintain on the site the « containers and devices necessary for the execution of the work », to be removed within fifteen days after the work ends (by-law 2015-00, s. 69). Outside of work, no permit is provided for a temporary dumpster: the closed lists in sections 37 and 50 include none and the fee schedule charges for none — we word it carefully, because this is an absence of provision. One caveat either way: the dumpster never settles in permanently. In doubt, planning department, 450 632-0590, extension 5130.

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

Not without paperwork. Depositing an object on a public road, sidewalk or shoulder is an offence (by-law 1008, s. 49 — 50 $ to 75 $ plus costs), and depositing construction materials on public property is a prohibited nuisance (by-law 1010-01, s. 8.2.1). The only way through: « written authorization from the designated officer », over at most one third of the road's width, with roadway damage repaired at the builder's expense (by-law 2015-00, s. 70). Add the 24 hour limit in one spot and, from December 1 to April 1, the overnight ban from midnight to 7 a.m. So the spot is in your driveway — that is where we deliver.

Does my job site itself need a permit?

Often, yes — and with no dollar threshold, unlike many towns. By-law 2015-00 requires a permit for « interior or exterior repair or renovation work on a main or accessory building » (s. 37); only exempt are minor upkeep touching neither foundations, structure, partitions, doors, windows nor roof or wall cladding, painting, the winter shelter and the site building (s. 26). The typical dumpster jobs — a roof, cladding, a kitchen with partition changes — are therefore permit jobs, and the permit is precisely what carries the right to the dumpster (s. 69). 2026 fee: 115 $ up to 5,000 $ of work, then 5.15 $ per 1,000 $. The town announces « minimum 30 business days » of processing once the file is complete: apply before ordering the box.

Can the drop-off centre replace a dumpster?

For a car trunk, yes — and it is generous: concrete, asphalt, brick, shingles, gypsum, wood even treated, and uncontaminated soil are accepted. But Sainte-Catherine's drop-off centre is Saint-Constant's, at 25 montée Lasaline, and it rations: « a maximum of 3 m³ (the size of a small trailer) is allowed per visit. 1 visit maximum/week », any excess refused, hydraulic trailers prohibited, closed Sunday and Friday afternoon. Do the math: a 10 yard box holds 7.6 m³ — three weeks of quota on its own —, a 20 yard 15.3 m³, a 40 yard 30.6 m³. A real job site does not go through there.

I am a contractor: can I use the drop-off centre?

No, and the official page says it plainly: « the service is not offered to professionals and contractors », and « commercial debris » is on the refused-materials list. No commercial fallback rate is published there. For a Sainte-Catherine job site, dumpster rotation is therefore the channel — with two local advantages: work and material deliveries are allowed from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week (by-law 1010-01, s. 3.2.7), and the 50 $ Libération Express credit applies when the dumpster is freed up within 48 hours of delivery, during the March-to-October high season.

Can we work on weekends in Sainte-Catherine?

Yes, on the same hours as weekdays — that is the Sainte-Catherine advantage. The nuisance by-law only prohibits construction, alteration, repair or demolition work, « the delivery of materials » included, between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. (by-law 1010-01, s. 3.2.7): no reduced Saturday or Sunday schedule, where many towns cut the weekend short. What remains is good neighbourliness and the general rule: any « excessive noise » is still a nuisance at all times (s. 3.1). The numeric thresholds of 55 decibels by day and 50 at night are set only for sound devices and heat pumps (s. 3.3) — they do not cover the work itself. We schedule deliveries and pick-ups inside that 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. window, weekends included.

Will the dumpster damage my driveway?

No — and in Sainte-Catherine the question applies to every address, because zoning requires a driveway « covered with asphalt other than recycled asphalt, concrete, concrete pavers, stone pavers » or another hard-surface material (zoning 2009-Z-00, s. 111): every driveway is a surface worth protecting. Every one of our dumpsters is delivered with the PROTEC-O-SOL system, built-in planks that spread the load and protect the surface. Nothing to supply, nothing extra to pay. Our drivers' tip, for full protection: lay four flattened cardboard boxes, or a thin sheet of plywood, on the chosen spot before the truck arrives.

And elsewhere? We checked the permit rule in every city we serve, by-law in hand — because it is never the same from one city to the next.

Areas we serve in Sainte-Catherine

We deliver to every neighbourhood in Sainte-Catherine — and we know the area.

What our drivers check before the box comes down

We deliver everywhere in Sainte-Catherine, from the Saint-Laurent/Centrale/Union core to the streets bordering the locks sector, and the truck plans its move before it arrives. Three things get settled on the phone rather than in the driveway: access width, slope and where the cars go. Local zoning sets a single-family home's access at 3 to 6 metres wide — never more than 50% of the lot width —, caps a driveway's slope at 10% within 6 metres of the street, and requires at least two parking spaces per house. A 20 yard box, roughly the size of a Dodge Caravan, fits without trapping the car when the spot is chosen ahead. The 10 yard equals a 20 yard filled halfway: same footprint, simply lower.

The second thing our drivers know about Sainte-Catherine is its housing stock. The urban plan describes a town « located entirely within an urban perimeter », where « the detached single-family home largely dominates the residential landscape » — with, on the 2001 census figures it cites, 77% owner-occupiers and nearly 42% of the housing stock built after 1990. Translation for a truck: standardized recent-suburb driveways, on a flat, dense town of 9.4 km² of land along the river, without the narrow lots of old village cores. The real constraints are seasonal — winter and the car shelter, which we plan for below.

The third is the surface. Zoning requires the driveway to be « covered with asphalt other than recycled asphalt, concrete, concrete pavers, stone pavers » or another hard-surface material, and forbids parking on grass. Every Sainte-Catherine driveway is therefore a surface worth protecting — 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. One last detail settled in advance: the manoeuvre. The traffic by-law requires a truck loading or unloading on a public road to be « parked parallel to the roadway » and the operation to proceed « without interruption », within a 30 minute window — precisely the time of a well-prepared drop.

Contractors and property managers in Sainte-Catherine

Sainte-Catherine is more than a bungalow suburb: the industrial sector covers 300 hectares — 33% of the town's area, according to its urban plan —, and the town's own portrait page counts 250 businesses and industries, a business park and an « intermodal distribution hub » with a deep-water wharf on the St. Lawrence Seaway. The commercial spine is Route 132, which links the town to the Champlain and Mercier bridges — the urban plan measured 47,600 vehicles a day on it and the town plans to remake it as an urban boulevard. 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, and routes set on the truck network — nine authorized roads, including 1re Avenue, Marie-Victorin and Saint-Laurent, with the « local delivery » exception expressly covering « picking up or delivering goods » and « carrying out work » right to your address.

Two local rules work in your favour. First: noisy work and « the delivery of materials » are allowed from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week — the nuisance by-law only prohibits the 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. window, with no reduced weekend schedule. A Sainte-Catherine job site can therefore run Saturday and Sunday on weekday hours. Second: the regional drop-off centre is closed to professionals and contractors, and « commercial debris » is refused by name — dumpster rotation is not a convenience here, it is the channel. For a property manager, the rental, moving and cleaning of collection containers fall to the Roussillon regional county (MRC) and are billed to the owner; for renovation debris, that is us. 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 — we plan the room

From December 1 to April 1, the traffic by-law prohibits overnight parking « on all public roads and portions of public roads […] between midnight and 7 a.m. » — then adds, since its amendment, that curbside parking is « tolerated, where signage allows it, except during winter maintenance ». The town does not decide in advance, and neither do we: it updates its snow-removal information line every evening from 5 p.m. (450 632-0590, option 9), offers text and email alerts, and warns that « parking may be prohibited even in the absence of precipitation ». One thing is certain: a street that must be able to clear itself every winter night is no place for a dumpster. It goes in the driveway.

And the winter driveway is already busy. The temporary car shelter is allowed from October 15 to April 15, « erected in an off-street parking space », at most 45 m² and 2.50 m tall, more than 3 metres from a fire hydrant and 0.5 metre from the side lot line — it stands exactly where the dumpster would go. Add the snow, which may not be dumped on sidewalks, in a way that hides a sign or blocks visibility, or in a hydrant's clearance space, and the collection bins, put out no earlier than 8 p.m. the night before and brought back the same day. From fall to spring, a Sainte-Catherine driveway must hold the shelter, the snow, the bins, the two cars — and the dumpster. That gets planned at booking, not while the truck is backing up.

Why the drop-off centre is not enough in Sainte-Catherine

Sainte-Catherine's drop-off centre is Saint-Constant's, at 25 montée Lasaline — the « Écocentre » page on Sainte-Catherine's own site redirects there. A « free service reserved for citizens of Saint-Constant, Sainte-Catherine and Saint-Mathieu », on photo ID and proof of residence — and surprisingly generous on materials: concrete, asphalt, brick, cement, stone, shingles, gypsum, wood even treated, and uncontaminated soil are accepted. For a car trunk, it is the right address. Here is where the door closes.

The rule	What it means for a job site
3 m³ per visit, one visit per week	« A maximum of 3 m³ (the size of a small trailer) is allowed per visit. 1 visit maximum/week. » Any excess is refused — a single 10 yard box (7.6 m³) represents three weeks of quota
Closed to professionals and contractors	« The service is not offered to professionals and contractors », the official page writes — and « commercial debris » is on the refused list
Hydraulic trailers prohibited	The ban is written in plain terms on the official page: no tipping to empty in one go, even under the quota
Closed Sunday, and Friday afternoon	Monday to Thursday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., with a break from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Friday from 8 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. only
ID required at the counter	Photo ID and valid proof of residence — the service is reserved for citizens of the three towns served
Asbestos, contaminated soil, mattresses and household garbage refused	The generosity stops at risk materials: asbestos, contaminated soil, biomedical waste, mattresses and household garbage are refused

At the curb, the fallback is just as thin. The Roussillon MRC garbage bin refuses construction materials: « asphalt and concrete (aggregates) », asphalt shingles, painted, stained or treated wood, brick and ceramic, gypsum and insulation, soil, rock, sand and peat. The bulky item collection, once a month on the month's first garbage collection, also refuses construction materials — exact days are checked by address on info-collectes.ca, and recycling has run every two weeks since December 1, 2025. Even at home, leaving « construction materials or debris » on the ground is a nuisance prohibited by municipal by-law (by-law 1010-01, s. 2.2.3). A real job site — a roof, a demolished patio, an excavation — goes through a dumpster, and the planning by-law says it itself: the permit « gives the right » to the job-site container.
