Trash/Dumpster Chute...


I'm getting ready to start a 4 family two story demo..I cant get my dumpster delivered close enough to the building, so I'm looking for some ideas on a trash chute I can build on site . I'm gonna be cutting out about 30+ feet from the house. Any ideas...Thanks

You can purchase or rent one similar to this one.

The ones I have used in the past were made of orange fiberglass panels that you fastened together to create individual cylinders. Then you link as many cylinders together as necessary to reach the dumpster from the elevation you are working from.

It's strange to see this topic pop up when it did. Just yesterday I saw a three story building with very large and very long Sono Tubes coming out of the window down into a dumpster. Sure enough... drywall came sliding right down and into the container.

I'd think about making one out of some 2 x's for sides (depending on how high you want them ) then some 3/4" cdx for the bottom and then put some melamine (1/4") over the 3/4" to give it the slipperyness needed to make the debris slide on down.

I once made one out of sheet metal, more a slide than a tube. Scared the sh*t out of anyone walking by when I dumped a pile of plaster down it.
