Standard containers fall short when dealing with contaminated materials, hazardous waste, sludge, or large volumes of water on a job site, environmental project or industrial operation. You need a solution that’s reliable, fast, compliant—and built for real-world conditions.

That’s exactly what MGC delivers with its container rental services, specialized transportation, mobile pumping, tanker trucks and mobile water treatment solutions. With a large inventory of containers, purpose-built equipment and all required certifications, MGC supports businesses in safely managing, storing, transporting and disposing of contaminated materials in full compliance with regulations.

From drilling sludge and excavation liquids to oily water, contaminated soil, barrels, contaminated snow and hazardous materials, our teams deploy turnkey solutions tailored to your operational needs.

Why rent a container?

On site, speed and safety are critical. There’s no room for guesswork ehen you’re dealing with liquids, sludge, wastewater or hazardous materials. Container rentals help bring structure to the site, give you better control over materials and streamline every step that follows: pumping, storage, transport, treatment and final disposal.

With the right container, you can:

  • Safely contain a wide range of contaminated materials
  • Store materials temporarily directly on-site
  • Reduce handling and streamline logistics
  • Simplify transport to treatment or disposal facilities
  • Shorten response times
  • Improve compliance in hazardous waste management

On many sites, this approach is what keeps operations under control and fully compliant.

Containers designed for real jobs

Project needs vary from one site to another. Some jobs require containing excavation liquids, while others involve the temporary storage of contaminated sludge, contaminated snow or water loaded with suspended solids.

Groupe MGC offers a range of container rental solutions tailored to these realities,

including containers designed for:

  • Drilling sludge management
  • Excavation liquids
  • Water containing suspended sediments requiring settling
  • Large volumes of water to be contained and stored
  • Temporary storage of contaminated materials
  • Contaminated sludge and soils
  • Oily water
  • Contaminated snow collection and storage
  • Hazardous materials collection

This versatility makes it possible to adapt to different operational needs, without compromising safety or compliance.

Hazardous materials management and MDR transport

When hazardous materials are in play, your choice of partner matters. It’s not just about having containers on hand. You need the right equipment, the proper permits and the know-how to handle everything safely and by the book.

We handle both the collection and transportation of hazardous materials, with all the required certifications to ensure compliant, secure disposal.

What that means for you: less coordination, fewer headaches and a smoother process overall. Instead of managing multiple providers, you get one streamlined solution to contain, move and route materials to the right treatment or disposal channel.

80,000-litre Baker Tank: large-volume storage

Some projects require serious containment capacity. That’s why we also offer frac tank (Baker tank) rentals with a storage capacity of up to 80,000 litres.

Our solutions are built for both short-term needs and long-term rentals. If materials need to stay on-site longer—whether residual waste or contaminants—container boxes can be rented to safely store them until the right time for transport or disposal.

Mobile pumping service and large-volume tanker truck

When large volumes of liquids or contaminated materials need to be moved, recovered or routed for treatment, having the right equipment on hand is critical. That’s why MGC offers mobile pumping services and tanker truck solutions for handling high-volume treatment and disposal.

This combined approach allows for efficient management of:

  • Excavation liquids
  • Oily water
  • Large volumes of contaminated water
  • Transfer operations between the site, containers, and treatment systems
  • Urgent or planned pumping and evacuation needs

Real benefits for environmental projects

Residual material management can get complicated fast on environmental projects, and pumping alone isn’t always enough. Adding container boxes is often the most efficient way to handle higher volumes while keeping costs in check.

With storage containers, you can:

  • Contain waste by-products on-site
  • Simplify waste management during environmental emergencies
  • Support planned projects requiring a structured approach
  • Enable on-site decontamination when feasible
  • Help reduce overall disposal costs

When are container rentals most useful?

Container rentals can make a real difference across a wide range of project scenarios, including:

  • Sites with drilling sludge
  • Projects generating excavation liquids
  • Management of water with suspended sediments requiring settling
  • Storage needs for large volumes of water
  • Hazardous materials collection
  • Drum handling and management
  • Temporary storage of contaminated materials
  • Management of contaminated sludge and soils
  • Handling of oily water
  • Collection and storage of contaminated snow
  • Projects requiring hazardous materials transportation
  • Operations requiring an 80,000-litre Baker tank
  • Mobile water treatment needs
  • Mobile pumping interventions
  • Projects requiring tanker trucks for high-volume transport

In every case, the goal stays the same: make operations smoother, safer and better controlled.
