The buildings
Bronx buildings and their chutes
The Bronx has some of the city’s largest housing complexes and a deep stock of pre-war elevator buildings. Many of those older buildings still use masonry chutes that once fed an incinerator, which need more passes and a closer look than a modern metal chute.
Parkchester buildings are on our client list.

FAQ
Chute cleaning in the Bronx: questions
What kind of trash chutes do Bronx buildings have?
A mix. Pre-war apartment houses along the Grand Concourse and elsewhere often have masonry chutes, many of them former incinerator flues, while post-war complexes and towers usually have metal chutes feeding a compactor. We clean both and quote each building on its own.
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.

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.
