A necessary component of a construction project is the safe disposal of debris. Different building methods and job requirements will generate varying amounts of waste that will require proper handling. One of the most important aspects of that process is ensuring trash and recyclable materials are collected safely.
Run a Safe Jobsite with a Construction Trash Chute
Work being done above ground level is more problematic. A general contractor or project manager does not want to have to worry if someone walking near a work zone is going to be struck by falling debris. Demolition work by its nature generates an almost constant stream of building waste that needs to be safely deposited. A construction trash chute installed and used correctly eliminates the problem. OSHA regulations stipulate that any materials dropped more than 20 feet lying outside the exterior walls of buildings requires a chute. Workers don’t have to be concerned with looking below before throwing something into a dumpster or trash bin below. They simply need to take trash to the chute and toss it down. Injury liabilities are reduced and compliance with codes and ordinances is confirmed.
A strong system with reinforced components needs to be part of the plan. A construction trash chute provided through Bird Ladder and Equipment Company has the durability and versatility you demand. Units can have multiple hoppers so workers on separate floors have easy access. Installed flappers ensure trash goes down the chute and not into floors below. They have high abrasion resistance and can handle liquids or solids. The large 32″ diameter means the vast majority of waste material can easily move down the chute.
Save Money
Another benefit stemming from using a construction trash chute is reduced labor costs. No one has to be paid to collect debris from a wide area outside a building. Trash goes down the chute and right into the container that will carry it away. It pays to keep things simple when it comes to trash disposal at a construction site.
Our trash chutes are easy to install and move as the job requires. They are sturdy and can handle the heavy use that can come with any project so that your crew can focus on the job and not taking out the trash.
