Why Garbage Chutes Are Essential to Apartments

The Importance Behind These Garbage Disposal Technologies

Garbage chutes are extremely common to large apartment and condominium buildings, and it’s easy to see why. These methods of garbage disposal are really practical for residents and employees who use them, minimizing their time and effort, and maximizing their ability to keep the place they call home clean. Garbage chutes are mechanisms that consolidate trash from each floor of a building – or select floors of each building – via a chute, allowing all trash to collectively compile in a singular location. Garbage chutes are essential to apartment buildings, and make for an effective way to dispose of trash.

They are environmentally friendly.

As any garbage-disposal professional can tell you, dealing with garbage requires a lot of safety precautions – and for obvious reasons. Thankfully, when you have a garbage chute at your apartment, handling the trash in the midst of disposal is a lot safer for both the men and women who live in the apartments, and the solid waste and recycling company that gets rid of the accumulated trash. Once the trash is placed down the garbage chute, the people who live in the apartments decrease their potential for dealing with harmful insects, pests and other busy rodents who like to come in contact with the trash. It also significantly improves the quality of air, as getting rid of the garbage via a garbage chute means that it is not piling up on the floor on which they live, eliminating disturbing odors. Most importantly, germs from the garbage are contained elsewhere, instead of the place in which the apartment residents live.

They make it easy for residents to dispose of trash.

Getting rid of trash in an apartment has never been easier, thanks to the simple structure of garbage disposals. Regardless of whether apartment inhabitants are able to access the garbage chute on every floor, or specifically marked floors, disposing of their trash is completely painless and hassle-free. The garbage chute uses a long tube that is built into the interior structure of the apartment building, attached to openings on the floors of the apartment for the residents to access. Once these men and women have tied up all their garbage bags, all they need to do is drop the bags down the designated garbage chute. These garbage bags run down the chute, and travel until reaching the main dumping area where all the trash is gathered. Usually this is on the lowest level of the apartment building. There the garbage bags roll straight into the garbage dumpster or roll-off container that is used to get rid of all the trash.

It’s a simple way to organize a massive amount of garbage.

For apartment building owners and management staff, it can be pretty overwhelming to deal with the collecting and sorting of trash – especially if the apartment building they’re operating is a high-rise, or simply larger than the average. In apartment units that do not contain a garbage chute, the maintenance workers and apartment managerial staff are responsible for picking up their residents’ garbage bags on every floor, a tedious task that takes away a lot of time and energy from their already jam-packed days of labor. However, collecting the trash from those who live in the apartment is only one element of the sorting process. Similarly, apartment buildings that don’t use a garbage chute make staffs transport the pounds and pounds of garbage to a singular area by hand. Organizing and compiling the garbage bags come next, which must be moved – by hand – to a roll-off container or dumpster. This strenuous process is made easy with the assistance of garbage chutes. Additionally, in those eco-friendly apartment buildings that provide a separate recycling service, this organization becomes second nature, as apartment building owners can make sure that there is a chute specifically created for the removal of recyclable materials.
