Garbage disposal
The garbage room in your community comprises two separate trash chute doors on each floor – one for “Recyclable” waste and the other for “General” waste.
Recyclable waste:
– Newspapers and magazines
– Egg cartons
– Plastic bottles and bags
– Aluminum cans and containers
General waste:
– Ensure waste bags are neatly tied and can fit comfortably in the chute
– Do not dispose of flammable, hazardous items
– Do not put in construction/ building waste
– Do not keep bulky waste or large size recyclables in the garbage room
Please ensure that it is sealed securely in a bag before putting it down the garbage chute. Then check the chute door is properly shut so residents can dispose of their garbage on other floors. Under no circumstances should hot cooking oil or lit cigarettes, ashes, matches, or candles be thrown down the chute, as any of these items could start a fire.
If your domestic helper disposes of your garbage, please make sure that he or she is also aware of the correct way to use the chute. Please do not leave items of oversized waste in the garbage chute room, instead, make your own arrangements to dispose of this type of waste.
We have partnered with two service providers to help residents get rid of old furniture, equipment, and other larger household items. You can reach out to Take My Junk on 800 JUNK (5865) or Remove My Junk on 055 549 1122.
