A rubbish chute is a scaffold chute system used to move waste and debris from height down to a collection point at ground level, without carrying it down by hand. You might also hear it called a skip chute, a rubbish shoot, or a refuse chute, since the job is the same whichever name your site uses. Altrad Generation supplies the rubbish chute as a modular system, with each section connecting to the next and to a top hopper at the point where waste is loaded in.
Using a rubbish chute keeps loose material away from workers below and stops debris building up around the site. Waste travels straight down the chute to your collection point, so you are not carrying bags and offcuts down ladders or stairwells by hand. Each polyethylene chute section weighs nine kilograms, built for repeated use across busy sites.
Altrad Generation's rubbish chutes work as a complete system. Add a Rubbish Chute Top Hopper at the top of the run to funnel waste in, fit a Rubbish Chute Side Entry section where you need to feed material in from a scaffold lift without reaching the hopper, and use a Rubbish Chute Fixing Frame to attach each section to the scaffold at every lift level. Build the chute up section by section to match the height of your scaffold, whether you need to hire it for a short project or buy it for ongoing site use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a rubbish chute?
A. A rubbish chute is a section chute that directs waste material from height down to a ground level collection point. It connects to a top hopper and further chute sections to build the length you need, and works equally well as a scaffold chute, skip chute or refuse chute wherever you need it on site.
Q. How much does it cost to hire a rubbish chute?
A. The rubbish chute is available to hire or buy from Altrad Generation. Costs depend on how many chute sections and accessories your site needs, so contact your nearest branch for a quote based on your project.
Q. What size rubbish chute do I need?
A. The rubbish chute is built as a modular system, so you add chute sections and a top hopper until you reach the height you need. Each section weighs nine kilograms and is made from polyethylene, making it straightforward to add extra sections as your scaffold grows.
