Garbage Chute Cleaning

Think about what is actually thrown down a garbage chute and the process of what happens to the garbage. Residents will often throw diapers, rotten fish, eggs, old food and so much more. You name it and residents have most likely tossed it down the chute! Rubbish gathers momentum when it is thrown down a chute resulting in the garbage bags often bursting on impact when it either compacts with the side of the chute or hits the bottom of the chute. This results in filthy build up sticking to the sides of the garbage chute and the compactor below. This build up harbors dangerous bacteria detrimental to personal health. Scientists would probably have a hard time of working out the combination of bacteria! Some garbage chutes go for years without being cleaned, imagine what harmful and dangerous nasty germs are waiting to escape each time a chute door opens.
