    With federal and state recycling mandates requiring source sorting, designers are searching for cost-effective and space-saving methods to comply. Western Chutes® has the solution. From the low-tech strategic placement of recyclable collection containers on the ground to multi-chute and electronic diverter systems, we can design the best method for your project. Below are just a few of the options available.

    Multiple Chute Recycling System

    The most basic system available for source sorting in multi-story projects is to use multiple chutes. We start with our standard rubbish chute and add to it additional chutes to provide the number of sorts required. Some municipalities require only two sorts, rubbish, and mixed recyclables. Others may require newsprint, cans, or glass to be sorted. With multiple chutes, you can provide simple, low maintenance, low-tech, low-cost system.

    Multi-Sorter Recycling System

    For applications where you need the capacity of a full-size chute for each type of material but don’t have space for multiple chutes, Western Chutes’ Multi-Sorter is the answer. This computer-controlled system utilizes multiple push buttons at the intake doors allowing the user to select the type of waste to be deposited. At the bottom of the chute is a Multi-Sorter which diverts the waste to the appropriate bin. This system is available for two or three sorts and can be interfaced with a compactor. With optional sensors, when a container is full, the system can shut down and notify maintenance. The Multi-Sorter is also fully programmable, providing for time-restricted operation.

    Where to use a recycling chute system?

    • Residential buildings can separate recyclable trash.
    • Commercial properties can separate paper waste from other recyclable consumables.
    • Institutional buildings can separate recycling from their contaminated laundry.
    • Industrial complexes can segregate their manufacturing waste from recycling.
