As most residential buildings now being constructed exceed 5 floors, garbage chutes have become a new facilities requirement requested by local councils.
Whilst a garbage and recycling chute system is essential for good building management, how they are maintained can prevent its effectiveness.
“Building managers have opted to fine tenants for the cost the building incurs for organising a chute to be unblocked.”
Tenant education can go a long way to preventing serious and costly issues such as chutes being blocked or damaged by over-sized solid waste. Signs on the chute door can go a long way to assisting tenants in making the right decision, how ever in a multi lingual society , signs can often be misunderstood.
Some building managers have now opted to fine tenants for the cost the building incurs for organising a chute to be unblocked.
Catching serial chute blockage offenders
“Having a regular cleaner on site daily, allows the garbage chute blockage to be attended to quickly.”
Without constant supervision and reporting, the buildings management team will find it difficult to uncover the serial offenders causing the blocked chute.
Having a regular cleaner on site daily, allows the garbage chute blockage to be attended to quickly, before the blockage builds up to other levels. Once this occurs, (and it happens often) tenants will dump their bags on the floor. This creates more work for the cleaners when the blockage is eventually cleared and not to mention the barrage of phone calls to the management team from tenants.
