The buildings
Queens buildings and their chutes
Queens runs from early garden-apartment co-ops to 1960s towers and new waterfront high-rises. The older co-ops tend to have masonry chutes; the towers have long metal chutes with heavy daily use that need a regular schedule.

FAQ
Chute cleaning in Queens: questions
Do you clean chutes in Queens co-ops?
Yes. Co-op boards and managing agents in Jackson Heights, Forest Hills, Rego Park and across Queens book us for scheduled chute cleaning. We work with the super on timing, give you a notice window for shareholders, and send a certificate of insurance 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.

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.
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.
