Is a dumpster permit required in Verdun?
Not on private property: the official page says so outright, for residential and commercial lots alike. Yes the moment it touches the public way — street, alley, sidewalk or bike path — with at least 2 business days' notice. When in doubt, 311 answers, and so does our team at 514 708-2424.
Can the dumpster go in a Verdun back alley?
Yes, with the public-domain occupancy permit: the alley is part of the public way just like the street. The 2026 fee schedule sets $59 per day for an unpaved surface, plus $52 per day if the alley has to be fully closed. Think about clearance for the truck as well: we confirm the passage width with you by phone before locking in the delivery.
Who applies for the permit in Verdun: the client or the contractor?
The contractor, whenever the contractor carries out the work: the borough requires it in so many words, a rule found in neither the Montreal block nor the Saint-Laurent one. The application goes exclusively through montreal.ca — and since offices close Fridays at 12:30 p.m., a Monday job means an application sent by Wednesday at the latest.
Is there an ecocentre in Verdun?
No: none of Montreal's seven ecocentres stands on the borough's territory. The Montreal network takes over, including the LaSalle ecocentre at 7272, rue Saint-Patrick — closed Mondays year-round and Sundays in winter, but with no cap on visits, an advantage it shares only with the Saint-Laurent ecocentre.
Why not just use Verdun's bulky-item collection?
Because it tops out at 2 m³ per address — roughly a quarter of a 10-yard dumpster — in receptacles of 25 kg at most, because it refuses construction bags, and because it is reserved for residents. Beyond 2 m³, the city itself lists the options: the ecocentre, for a fee, or a private contractor.
Which dumpster size for renovating a Verdun plex?
The 20-yard in most cases: kitchen, bathroom and plaster demolition all fit, and it takes up about the size of a Dodge Caravan. The 10-yard is a 20-yard filled halfway — same footprint, just lower — so it frees up no room in a short driveway. Two minutes on the phone and we settle it for your project.
How many days does the rental include, and how does the $50 credit work?
Seven days are included, whatever the size. The Libération Express credit of $50 applies if you free up the dumpster within 48 hours of delivery; after that window, your 7-day rental simply carries on. Offer valid during the high season (March to October); the credit goes back on your credit card, deducted from any extras or refunded in full if there are none.
