Rubbish chutes in Singapore are commonly found in large apartments, condominium buildings, and construction sites, and it’s easy to see why. The most challenging part of garbage disposal is the time after the residents dump waste and before the trash and recycling companies collect it. During this time, accumulated trash can attract insects, rodents, and other pests and spread diseases. This is the reason that dealing with garbage requires taking a lot of safety measures. It is wise to install garbage chutes in apartment buildings.
These methods of garbage disposal using rubbish chutes are really practical for residents and employees who use them, minimising their time and effort, and maximising their ability to keep the place they call home clean.
Benefits of installing an HDB rubbish chute
Cleaner environment
Installing a rubbish chute in Singapore – especially at a construction site – will provide the workers with a sense of safety. Safety is one of the top priorities of a construction site manager. Some items can pose a danger to workers, and may trip or injure them if not removed as early as possible. As a result, getting rid of waste materials using HDB rubbish chutes will promote the workspace’s safety.
An HDB rubbish chute in an apartment or condominium will also significantly improve the quality of air, as getting rid of the garbage via a rubbish chute means that it is not piling up on the floor on which they live. This will definitely eliminate any disturbing odors that could rise from the rotting garbage. Most importantly, germs from the garbage are contained elsewhere, instead of the place in which the apartment residents live. However , if your rubbish chute has been used for several years, pests may get into the rubbish. Poorly marinated rubbish chutes are breeding grounds for pests, bacteria, and other harmful contaminants, in which case, a rubbish chute replacement will be required immediately.
Conveniently eradicates trash
Getting rid of the trash in an apartment has never been easier, thanks to the simple structure of HDB rubbish chutes. Regardless of whether apartment inhabitants are able to access the rubbish chute on every floor, or specifically marked floors, disposing of their trash is completely painless and hassle-free. An HDB rubbish chute uses a long tube that is built into the interior structure of the apartment building, attached to openings on the floors of the apartment for the residents to access. Once the residents have tied up all their garbage bags, all they need to do is drop the bags down the designated rubbish chute in Singapore. These garbage bags run down the chute and travel until they reach the main dumping area where all the trash is gathered. Usually, this is on the lowest level of the apartment building. There, the garbage bags roll straight into the garbage dumpster or roll-off container that is used to get rid of all the trash.
Increased property value
Adding a rubbish chute to a property can make the property more attractive to potential renters or buyers. The lack of unsightly piles of garbage littering the hallways will immediately improve the reputation of any apartment building and attract more renters. An HDB rubbish chute will also bring health benefits to residents at the building, as they will not have to handle garbage or lug it down several flights of stairs. This, too, will add to the value of your property and allow the property owner to generate a larger income.
However, if your existing rubbish chute is damaged or in need of repair, that could prove to be an unsightly factor in your building. We recommend you opt for a rubbish chute replacement immediately.
