FAQ
What managers ask before they book
Who is responsible for cleaning a building’s trash chute?
The owner. NYC’s chute rule requires chutes, refuse rooms and hoppers to be kept clean, sanitary and free of vermin and odors, and makes the owner run a treatment program for them. In practice the super handles daily upkeep and a contractor does the deep cleaning. Tenants bag their trash and follow the chute rules.

Do NYC owners have to keep records for their trash chutes?
Yes, for pest treatment. Under 1 RCNY §24-01 the owner must treat the chute, refuse room and related parts as often as needed to prevent insects and rodents, and keep a record of those treatments available for the Department of Buildings. Dated cleaning reports belong in the same file.

Are you insured?
Yes. Chute Cleaning Division is insured in partnership with Select Exterminating, and we can send a certificate of insurance for your building or management company on request.
How often should a trash chute be cleaned?
It depends on the building. We recommend cleaning quarterly for hospitals, hotels and heavy-use buildings, twice a year for most apartment buildings, and at least once a year for everything else. NYC rules don’t set a frequency, but they do require chutes to be kept clean, sanitary and free of vermin and odors.

Do tenants have to stop using the chute while you clean?
Yes, while we’re working on it. Intake doors stay shut while the shaft is washed, so nobody drops trash on the crew or into wet chemicals. We schedule around your building and give you the timing in advance so the super can post a notice on every floor.
How much does trash chute cleaning cost?
Every building is quoted on its own. The price depends on the number of floors and chutes, whether the chute is pre-war masonry or post-war metal, how long since the last cleaning, access and scheduling, and add-ons like graffiti. Call (646) 391-7620 or send the address and Marshall will price it the same day.
