Chute basics
What a waste chute is and what a laundry chute is
These are the two most common chute systems we specify. Waste chutes handle everyday refuse disposal, while laundry chutes move linen and clothing vertically through a building in a cleaner and more efficient way.
What a waste chute is
A waste chute, also called a refuse chute or garbage chute, is a vertical shaft with intake doors on each floor. It allows residents or staff to drop waste into a central collection point without carrying bags through corridors, lifts or stairwells.
In larger buildings, waste chutes are usually paired with refuse rooms, bin stores, ventilation and odour-control systems so the full waste route stays safe, hygienic and easy to manage.
What a laundry chute is
A laundry chute is a separate vertical shaft for linen, towels and clothing. It is often used in hotels, private villas, serviced apartments and residential schemes where laundry needs to move quietly from upper floors to the laundry or collection area.
Laundry chutes are typically specified with controlled-access doors and fire-rated details so they sit neatly within the wider building and housekeeping strategy.
