Tri-O-Bac Inc.

What Tri-O-Bac Inc. does

Tri-O-Bac Inc. is a privately held Canadian corporation that rents mini-dumpsters and standard dumpsters (10, 14, 16, and 20 cubic yard configurations) to residential homeowners, contractors/builders, and a secondary layer of commercial and industrial clients in the Greater Montreal area. The service radius covers approximately 90 km from the company's H4N 1J1 base and is segmented across four named sub-regions: West Island, North Shore, South Shore, and East Montreal. Customers request quotes via the company website or by phone, with same-day agent confirmation; pricing is quote-based and per rental, with additional fees for excess weight and non-conforming materials such as tires, propane tanks, electronics, and hazardous waste.

The core technology is a fleet of narrow-profile containers paired with three-axle trailers using a hydraulic rope winch system (21,000 lbs total capacity, 13,000 lbs load capacity), engineered specifically for the rear yards, laneways, driveways, and low-clearance access points typical of dense Montreal residential properties. The company offers a 2-hour express pickup service that allows customers to fill and return a container within municipal permit-free thresholds, sidestepping the $75-$135/day permit fees that apply to longer public-space deployments. Container heights are kept at 4-5 feet to ease loading, and wood beams are deployed during delivery to protect customer driveways.

The business model is transactional rental income on a per-job basis, supplemented by weight and material surcharges, with all collected waste routed through a core recycling partnership with EBI (Recyclage Notre-Dame), enabling a documented up to 95% diversion rate from landfill under a 3RV (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Valorize) operating philosophy. The company was founded in 1999 by two entrepreneurs, acquired in 2014 by two brothers with shared environmental convictions, and continues to operate as a family-owned business with no institutional investors, parent company, or disclosed funding history. No employees, revenue, or fleet size figures are publicly disclosed.
