The buildings
Long Island buildings and their chutes
Long Island’s multifamily stock skews older and lower-rise than the city’s, with elevator co-ops and condos along the South Shore and in Nassau’s villages. Older buildings with heavy chute use benefit most from a regular schedule.

FAQ
Chute cleaning in Long Island: questions
Which fire code covers chutes on Long Island?
Long Island buildings fall under New York State’s codes rather than New York City’s. The state fire code calls for sprinklers at the top of trash and linen chutes and in the room at the bottom. Your engineer can confirm what applies; we check that those heads are clear while we clean.
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.
