FAQs:

  1. What are debris chutes? Debris chutes, also known as trash chutes, facilitate the removal of large amounts of waste from buildings and roofs, directing it into designated containers. Professionals like builders, roofers, masons, and demolition contractors depend on these chutes for safe, quick, and efficient waste disposal.
  2. What distinguishes a disposal chute? A disposal chute, commonly referred to as a garbage chute, is a system that collects waste from individual or selected floors of a building. This system channels the trash to a single collection point. 
  3. What’s meant by “chute opening”? A chute opening, or hopper chute, is the entry point where workers deposit debris. You’ll want to put a hopper chute on any floor where you want to dump trash and debris. Hopper chutes will have a wide mouth and serve as a funnel for trash down to your dumpster bin or receptacle. 
  4. Why does OSHA mandate covered chutes? Per OSHA guidelines, trash chutes are mandatory for disposing of waste from rooftops higher than 20 feet. These chutes need to be firmly attached to the structure to maximize safety for both construction personnel and anyone present in the vicinity.
