Key Takeaways
Optimizing construction sites with trash chutes:- Material Options: Heavy-duty steel for large debris, and DURACHUTE or DURAFLAT plastic for varied construction needs.
- Efficiency and Safety: Facilitates quick debris removal, enhances worksite safety, and minimizes cleanup time.
- Project Suitability: Selection depends on project scope, debris type, and building structure.
Trash chutes are commonly used for many types of construction or demolition projects. Trash chutes for construction provide an easy and efficient way to dispose of excess materials and debris. They can save your project time and money.
Trash chutes for construction can make waste collection easy and hassle-free. And there are options to meet the needs of any project, no matter how large or small. Some of the best choices for construction trash chutes include:
Heavy-Duty Steel Trash Chutes for Construction
Heavy-duty steel debris chutes are ideal for heavy demolition or high-rise buildings. These triumphs in engineering are made from virtually indestructible steel. They can be designed to meet any construction need or project. They are made from thick steel that can withstand nearly any type of debris.
Steel trash chutes for construction can also be implemented with a baffle system. These systems work to break apart debris as it falls down the chute. This minimizes the amount of space needed for disposal, leveraging all of the space in a dumpster. You won’t have to spend extra time emptying dumpsters filled with empty, unused space.
The doors on heavy-duty steel trash chutes can also be locked – ensuring that your job site remains secure. The mounting system can also be configured to keep the chute away from the façade of the building. This system ensures that the aesthetics of your building won’t be harmed throughout your project. Whether your project is a remodel, building addition, or a demolition, a heavy-duty steel trash chute won’t disappoint. They can be customized for any project to increase the efficiency of your job site.
DURACHUTE Plastic Trash Chutes for Construction
DURACHUTE plastic trash chutes are ideal for many construction projects. They are blow-molded of high-density polyethylene. And they have extra thickness blown into areas that may experience high impact. This feature extends the life of each section of the plastic chute. DURACHUTE chutes are the most durable plastic sections available on the market.
The chains in these chutes are heat-treated, proof-tested, galvanized, and can be adjusted to meet floor height requirements. Each section is four feet high, with three and a half feet of usable chute. Upper and lower reinforcing rings ensure that the chute will retain its shape and not flatten during installation. The large 32” inside diameter means that even large items will easily pass through the chute. Intermediate hoppers also allow safe access from any floor. If your job crosses multiple floors, these chutes offer the best option for easy access.
The ring system on these trash chutes ensures that the system stays incredibly stable. These chutes will retain their shape no matter the length of the system. DURACHUTE plastic trash chutes for construction are designed to handle light-duty construction, roofing, or light renovation work.
DURACHUTE plastic trash chutes are tried and tested. They are proven to be more durable than other chutes on the market, ensuring a safer work site. By minimizing debris, you can reduce the risk of injury to employees and visitors to the job site. And the strength found in their polyethylene design means that they will withstand almost any materials.
These chutes are the premier choice for many roofers, general contractors, scaffolding companies, and other construction companies. The blow-molding process ensures a more resilient chute than others on the market.
DURAFLAT Plastic Flat Chute
DURAFLAT’s high impact-resistant, high-density polyethylene debris chute is ideal for roofing and renovation work. These trash chutes offer a quick, simple, and safe trash removal system. They are easy to install and use, and they can increase job safety and minimize clean-up time. They are also blow-molded to create a resilient and durable trash chute for light-duty construction jobs.
DURAFLAT trash chutes are specifically designed to provide an economical and lightweight debris removal system. They ship and store flat debris particles. Moreover, these trash chutes can be assembled quickly using standard hand tools.
DURAFLAT trash chute systems can be adjusted to different floor heights. They also feature a slight taper to allow sleeving with minimal gap openings. Similar to the DURACHUTE, the DURAFLAT chute sections are four feet high. They have three feet, one inch of usable chute length in each section. The top opening is a wide 32-inch diameter, which tapers to 27 inches.
Selecting the Best Trash Chute for Your Construction Project
Trash chutes for construction projects offer a tremendous amount of benefits. Rather than having your employees spend hours cleaning up a job site, it can be handled in minutes. Trash chutes for construction offer a quick way for workers to remove their own debris as they work. No more wasting with clean-up! Trash chutes increase worksite efficiency and minimize the risk of workplace accidents.
But selecting the right chute for your project can be difficult. Some elements to consider include:
- The duration of the project. Projects with a longer timeline may need a fixed system with a long life-expectance, such as the DURACHUTE or a heavy-duty steel chute.
- The debris encountered. Large debris and waste may require a heavy-duty steel chute or a DURACHUTE. If your project will mostly be encountering small debris or roofing waste, you may be able to get by with a DURAFLAT chute system.
- The scope of the project. Large projects may need longer chute systems with multiple access points. Small and residential projects often only require a smaller chute system.
- The building itself. If you are working on a multi-story building and need access to the chute from multiple floors, the DURACHUTE may be your best option. Single-story buildings can use a smaller design.
