Pricing & billing
How much does a container cost by Montreal borough?
Updated July 19, 2026
Short answer
The container costs the same everywhere in Greater Montreal — it is the street permit that changes everything. Over 10 days the permit runs from $430 in Anjou to $1025 in Outremont, a 2.4× gap for identical service. 2 boroughs do not publish rates online. In a private driveway there is no permit: the advertised price is the same across the island.
Which boroughs are the most expensive?
Over 10 days, tax-normalized, Outremont tops the list at $1025 and Anjou sits at the bottom at $430. The permit guide has the full sortable table for all 19 boroughs, with each one's lead time and quirks.
Why compare rates between boroughs?
Because you don't always choose the address. A contractor working several sites can plan street placements where the permit is cheapest, and favour driveways in the expensive boroughs. Across a season the gap runs into thousands.

Frequently asked questions
Does the rental price change by borough?
No. The container price is identical across our service area. Only the municipal permit varies, and it is paid to the borough, not to us.
And outside the island of Montreal?
Laval, the North Shore and the South Shore have their own municipal rules, different from Montreal's boroughs. Check with your city before a street placement.
