10, 20 and 40 Cubic Yard
Dumpster Rental in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac

For a job site covered by a building permit, it is better than “no permit needed”: it is expressly allowed. Section 65 of construction by-law URB-2025-1100 provides that a permit holder “may have installed on the lot, for the whole period of construction or alteration, a container intended to collect construction waste”. For a simple clear-out with no building permit, no by-law requiring a permit was found — the word “conteneur” does not appear once in the permits and certificates by-law, the urban plan, the nuisance by-law, the fines by-law or the fee by-law, the list of works subject to a permit contains no such line, and no fee exists. We word it carefully, because this is an absence of provision. In doubt about your case? Land-use planning and sustainable development department, 450 472-7310, extension 120.

No. “Storing construction materials or any objects on a public road or a public place” is a prohibited nuisance (by-law 640, s. 6 c), except for work carried out on the public road itself — watermains, paving, not your renovation. The same by-law prohibits dumping soil, stone, gravel, brick or demolition materials on a public road or in a ditch, and obstructing the flow of water in a ditch or catch basin. Add that on-street parking is prohibited from midnight to 7 a.m. between November 15 and April 15. So the spot is in your driveway: that is where we deliver, and zoning provides the room for it.

Yes, as a local delivery, and it is not a tolerance: it is written in section 4 of by-law 569. The principle, in section 3, is that truck traffic is prohibited across the entire territory, with the single exception of Boulevard des Promenades between the Deux-Montagnes boundary and Boulevard des Pins — a “truck” being a road vehicle with a net mass over 3,000 kg. The exception covers a vehicle “that must reach a point it can only access by entering the restricted traffic zone” in order to pick up or deliver goods, provide a service or carry out work. The urban plan confirms it: “certain exceptions apply, for local delivery for instance”. What we do not claim: crossing the town or parking there with no delivery to make. And we do not publish the rest of the permitted network — the plan annexed to the 2003 by-law is not published with it; the public works department answers at 450 472-7310, extension 112.

For a car trunk, yes: $10 for a 0.5 m³ load at the municipal garage, 2960 boulevard des Promenades. For a job site, no, and the arithmetic is the town's own. The largest load admitted is 5 m³, at $60, unloaded by hand, on a weekday, between two midday closures — whereas a 10 yard box holds 7.6 m³, a 20 yard 15.3 m³ and a 40 yard 30.6 m³. The biggest trip a resident is allowed therefore does not reach two thirds of our smallest dumpster. Add the refusal list: “asphalt shingle, concrete, stone and rock, asphalt, sod and piles of soil are refused” — four of our single-material dumpsters carry exactly that. And the depot is closed Sunday and Monday.

No, and the town writes it twice. Its collections page: “The dry materials depot is not offered to contractors, and commercial trailers are not accepted at the site entrance.” Its fee by-law, s. 5.3.1: “This service is offered to residents only and excludes contractors.” The same by-law adds that “any trailer larger than the volume mentioned above [5 m³] is for commercial use by or for contractors and is therefore not admissible”. There is also no drop-off centre in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, and none at the Deux-Montagnes regional county level. For a job site, the dumpster is not a convenience: it is the only way out.

Two things, and both concern soil. A municipal certificate of authorization is required for any fill or excavation over 10 cm ($100) and for any work in the littoral zone, the shoreline or a flood zone ($50); zoning refers to provincial regulation for the applicable limits, and the new flood-zone framework has been in force since March 1, 2026. The urban plan recalls that the dyke breach of April 27, 2019 flooded about 2,500 properties between the lake and Chemin d'Oka, that 97 lots were handed over to the town, and that construction remains limited on lots considered vacant as of April 1, 2019. In practical terms for us: we ask when you book whether you are south of Chemin d'Oka, because soil, rock and sod then travel in a single-material dumpster — and because the streets there are narrower and often lined with ditches.

Between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., and we avoid Sundays. By-law 640 prohibits noisy work between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. (s. 3.2), and the exception covering construction sites and preparatory ground work applies to work carried out “between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., Monday to Saturday inclusive” (s. 3.5 a). Sunday is not named in that exception, and the general ban on disturbing the neighbourhood's peace (s. 3.1) applies at all times, with no schedule. A steel box being set down makes noise: so we stay inside the Monday-to-Saturday window, between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., and we agree on the time with you.

For the driveway: 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. For the tree, zoning settles it: during work requiring a permit, “inside the projection of the tree's crown, no storage of material, no debris, no tool, no equipment may be placed”, and using a tree as a support is prohibited (s. 213). Where encroachment is technically unavoidable, the same section costs out the protection: plywood at least 2 cm thick, planks or logs of 10 cm for work lasting less than a month. Our drivers pick the spot outside that projection — simpler, and free.
