Are you planning a renovation, a major clean-up, or a construction project ? Renting a container may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct size and type is crucial to avoid unwelcome surprises. A container that is too small will quickly overflow, while one that is too large could unnecessarily increase your costs. Whether for renovation work, a construction site, post-disaster cleanup, or an industrial project, each situation has its unique requirements.
At Conteneur Paco, we help you find the ideal container from our wide range of sizes and models, suitable for all types of projects, residential, commercial, industrial, or municipal.
Why the Right Container Size is Essential
Selecting an appropriate size helps avoid weight overages, additional fees, and unnecessary trips. It is also a matter of logistics: a container that is too large can be difficult to install on a restricted site, while one that is too small will require more frequent pickups.
At Conteneur Paco, we offer several sizes, ranging from 10 to 40 cubic yards, as well as watertight and storage containers, to meet the needs of all types of projects, residential, commercial, or industrial.
All our sizes include a 10-day rental period, a predetermined waste weight limit, and fast delivery and pickup service, carried out by our experienced drivers. With Conteneur Paco, you benefit from a simple, hassle-free, turnkey service.

Which Projects Require which Type of Container ?
Every construction, renovation, or cleaning project generates specific waste, both in nature and volume. Whether you are an individual planning a residential renovation, a contractor on a commercial site, or a business managing more complex materials, it is essential to choose the right container size and type to optimize your waste management.
At Conteneur Paco, we offer a complete range of container rental services tailored to all needs:
- Standard containers for dry materials;
- Watertight containers for liquid or contaminated materials;
- Robust storage containers to secure your equipment and materials.
Here is a practical guide to help you choose the model best suited to the nature of your project.
— Small Residential Projects
Are you renovating your flooring or cleaning out your garage? The 10 cubic yard container is ideal. Compact and easy to install in a driveway, it offers ample space for disposing of drywall, wood, carpets, or old appliances. It is the perfect solution for a first project, a short-term rental, or a seasonal clean-up.
Suggested Size: 10 cubic yards
— Multi-Room Renovation or Moving
Are you undertaking a multi-room interior renovation, redoing your kitchen, or looking to dispose of a large quantity of bulky items before a move? Consider a 15 cubic yard container. This versatile size easily accommodates wood, tiles, green waste, and mixed materials. It offers a good balance between capacity and occupied space, and can be easily installed in a standard driveway.
Suggested Size: 15 cubic yards
— Major Renovation or Commercial Projects
Are you working on a complete home renovation, constructing a deck, or managing a commercial project ? The 20 cubic yard container is our most popular size. It allows for efficient management of large quantities of materials, including brick, concrete, or drywall, while remaining easy to deliver and position on most residential or commercial sites.
Suggested Size: 20 cubic yards
— Large Construction Sites or Demolition
Are you demolishing a house, undertaking new construction, or working on a large-scale commercial project ? The 40 cubic yard container is the best option for quickly removing bulky or heavy materials. It reduces trips and multiple pickups, making it an economical choice for projects with tight deadlines.
Suggested Size: 40 cubic yards
— Liquid, Wet, or Contaminated Materials
Some projects require a specialized container. For drilling mud, contaminated soils, industrial waste, or any material that may leak or seep, choose a watertight container. Our 100% sealed models comply with environmental and safety standards. Conteneur Paco also offers a complete service for pumping, emptying, and regulated disposal of these materials.
Suggested Size : Watertight container of 20, 30, or 40 cubic yards
— Temporary On-Site Storage
Do you need to secure equipment, tools, or furniture during work? Our 20-foot storage containers are watertight, ventilated, and lockable. They provide effective protection against theft, dust, and inclement weather, whether on a construction site, in a commercial yard, or for an outdoor event.
Suggested Size : 20-foot storage container
Our Tips for Choosing Wisely
Are you undecided between two sizes? Are you unsure if a standard container is sufficient or if a watertight model would be more appropriate? This is entirely normal. Choosing the right container depends on several factors: the type of project, the nature of the materials, and the available space on site.
As a container rental specialist in Quebec, Conteneur Paco shares some practical advice to help you make an informed choice, avoid additional fees, and optimize the efficiency of your work.
1. Accurately Assess Waste Volume
It is common to underestimate the quantity of waste a project can generate. An accurate estimate helps you avoid surcharge fees or additional pickups.
2. Consider the Type of Material
Dry, wet, contaminated, or bulky materials, each waste category requires appropriate management. If you have any doubts, our team can guide you toward the container type best suited to your needs.
3. Consider Available Space
Before delivery, ensure that access to the site is clear and that there is sufficient space for safe container installation. This avoids relocations or readjustments on the day of delivery.
4. Calculate Project Duration
All our sizes include a 10-day rental period, but if your work extends over a longer period, it is advisable to plan in advance to avoid additional daily fees.
5. Avoid Surprise Fees
Do not hesitate to ask our team for advice before booking. It is often better to choose a container slightly larger than anticipated, rather than risking an overflow or surcharge.
