 Tri-Pod Recycle Chutes
Our Tri-Pod recycle chute utilizes a design which allows the tenants to dispose of their trash thru a larger chute section, while disposing of each type of recycling within the same door opening.
The Tri-Pod chute features compartments for Plastic & Glass, Cans & Metal, and trash, each in separate chute ducts.
The trash duct will channel into our Royal-Pak compaction system, while each of the recycling ducts will funnel their respective materials into a recycling bin for easy disposal by the building staff.
The Tri-Pod recycle chute features a large 36" wide UL 1 & 1 ½ hour fire rated door that is engineered to be opened easily. Each duct is labeled to instruct the tenants to dispose of their wastes and recyclables into the correct opening.
The Tri Pod Recycle Chute discharge can be designed to function with most room layouts.
