PURPOSE-BUILT SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR PROJECT
Our waste management strategists often work in collaboration with our technicians to design, manufacture, and install chute systems that are suited for every project’s requirements.
We work with you to understand your site’s environmental concerns, building, industry, waste type and waste volume, and design garbage chute systems with these factors in mind so that you can rely on smooth performance of your new equipment. On top of our chute systems, we also perform a full hand over with every new chute system to ensure you understand how to use it and what to expect. Elephants Foot can also provide chute consumables and after service care to clean, maintain, and repair these systems to ensure the longlife and efficiency of your chutes.
Our waste consultants can also work in collaboration with your business or worksite representatives to design and create garbage chute systems that work holistically with your overall waste management process.
WHY WASTE CHUTE SYSTEMS?
Waste disposal is a harder task to manage when you live in or manage a tall multi-storey building. The taller it is, the more waste there also is to manage.
While it’s common to have cleaning teams remove trash from bins in an office building, in some workplaces or operations, waste can pile up quickly. To add fuel to the flame, in-building waste collectors can cause disruption to already busy hallways or elevators. Waste Chute Systems help allow you and your residents or employees to efficiently get rid of the waste after bins become full, and reduce clutter and odour in the building. With a straight drop from a room, to your outdoor skip bin or garbage room in a single chute.
OTHER SPECIALIST CHUTE SYSTEMS
Chute systems also don’t have to stop at garbage. A laundry chute system can also assist you in making it easier to collect laundry and linens from different levels in a large home, hotel, or hospital. Linen chute systems help give you an extra level of efficiency and discretion when it comes to your housekeeping services. They let your staff quickly drop towels and beddings to the laundry room, and help save your guests from unpleasantries in the elevators and corridors.We can also provide temporary refuse chute systems for construction site projects, to help workers efficiently dispose of materials on a construction or a controlled demolition project.
