Centralized Garbage Collection System

A piping system for waste disposal, also known as a refuse chute, is used in tall buildings like condominiums to transport rubbish from individual floors through shafts to a collection point on the ground floor. Waste is thrown into openings on each floor and falls through the hollow piping to be collected and transported to a landfill. Refuse chutes provide a centralized way to manage waste and reduce energy use compared to individual collection. Regular maintenance is needed to prevent blockages, leaks, and odors.
