10, 20 and 40 Cubic Yard Dumpster Rental in Ville-Marie

On private land, no. On the street, in the lane, on the sidewalk or on any other part of the public domain, yes — and Ville-Marie adds a condition few boroughs publish: the public way opens to a dumpster only once no private spot can be found. The application then has to leave at least 10 business days before the planned date of the work, with no distinction between a homeowner and a contractor. Call us first: we look for the private spot with you before sending you to the counter.

The 2026 schedule asks $17.32 to issue the permit and $38 in review fees, then $65 a day when the box sits on the street or on the sidewalk within 49 m²: five days come to $380.32, taxes included. Move it into a lane, to the back of the sidewalk or onto unpaved ground and the rate drops to $59 a day while the allowed area doubles, to 99 m² — $350.32 for those same five days. These amounts come from a yearly by-law and are to be checked again at every fiscal year.

That is the line that surprises people most downtown. Ville-Marie bills $51 a day in lost parking revenue, $68 to fit a hood over the first meter and $6 for each additional one; removing a pay station costs $307. Only two other boroughs publish a lost-revenue line, at $35 and at $43.35: read it as an order of magnitude, not as a ranking. On a shopping street, that line weighs more than the choice between the roadway and the lane.

Not at the front, most of the time. About a dozen stretches are pedestrianized in 2026: place Jacques-Cartier and rue Saint-Paul Est from April 15 to October 29, rue Sainte-Catherine Est in the Village from May 15 to October 12, avenue du Musée from June 1 to October 16, place D'Youville and place Royale from June 3 to September 1, rue Notre-Dame Ouest in front of the basilica permanently. That covers nearly the whole high season. What is left is the cross street, the lane where there is one, or a window in the fall.

Worth checking before you pay anything at all. Westmount borders Ville-Marie on the west and it is an independent linked city, not a Montreal neighbourhood: its by-laws and its occupancy rates belong to it, and a Ville-Marie permit carries no weight there. The other neighbours — Le Sud-Ouest, Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Le Plateau-Mont-Royal and Outremont — are Montreal boroughs, each with a schedule of its own. Give us the exact address and we start from there.

Outside the borough: Ville-Marie has no ecocentre and names the two nearest ones itself, La Petite-Patrie (1100, rue des Carrières) and Côte-des-Neiges (6925, chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges). The closer of the two is also the strictest on size — under 7.3 m for a vehicle-and-trailer outfit, 6.8 m for a cube van —, it shuts every Monday of the year, and nobody there helps with the unloading. Kerbside collection, kept for households, stops at 5 m³ per address: one demolished bathroom clears that ceiling on the first evening.

The Ville-Marie by-law allows the work and the delivery of materials “between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday to Saturday” and forbids both on Sundays and statutory holidays; our own trucks roll Monday to Friday, the same day when a dumpster is free. Seven days are included whatever the size: the 20-yard swallows a kitchen or a bathroom and takes up about the size of a Dodge Caravan, while the 10-yard is a 20-yard filled halfway — the same footprint, just lower. Free up the dumpster within 48 hours of the delivery and the $50 Libération Express credit applies. Offer valid during the high season (March to October).
