RUBBISH CHUTE REPAIR & REPLACEMENT
Before centralised rubbish chutes were built in the 90s for HDB
flats, each Condo and HDB unit had their own trash chute. Now only a
common sight in Condos and older HDB flats, these individual garbage
chutes come with its own setbacks despite their convenience. One of
the main issues with having a garbage chute installed in your HDB or
Condo is the increased risk of pest problems. If your rubbish chute
is not well maintained or sealed, cockroaches, rats, and even
unwanted odours may cause a hassle in your home. Therefore, it is
important to constantly service and repair your rubbish chute to
cockroach proof it and prevent the invasion of pests. The same
applies to maintaining the function of your rubbish chute hopper
if its quality is compromised, the proper replacement is necessary
so that it effectively prevents the entry of fumigation gases and
pests such as cockroaches.

Why Cockroach Proof Your Rubbish Chute?
To ensure that roaches do not invade your homes, the National
Environmental Agency (NEA) and the Housing & Development Board
(HDB) in Singapore conduct fogging and fumigation works. However,
these are rarely conducted and are not effective in maintaining the
sanitation of the bins. Therefore, hiring professional rubbish chute
contractors to cockroach proof your HDB or Condo garbage chute with
a properly sealed bin is important to:
- Keep your home clean and healthy
- Reduce the risk of allergens and harmful bacteria being spread
in your home
- Disinfect internal walls so that breeding grounds are completely
removed

Frequently Asked Questions About Condo and HDB Rubbish
Chutes
How to seal rubbish chute or fix it when the door is
stuck?
When the trash chute is poorly maintained or not functional due to
wear and tear over the years, it is common to have a rubbish chute
door that often gets stuck. Rather than forcefully opening and
pulling on the door, it is best to replace it. The same applies to
the silicon seal of the chutes. With age, a proper seal will not be
offered due to all the abrasion. In order to keep the foul smell and
cockroaches out, contact a rubbish chute contractor to conduct the
proper replacement.
What are the different types of rubbish chute hoppers
available?
There are various types of chutes available so that homeowners in
Singapore can easily decide on the best fit for their homes. For
example, the Riben stainless steel hopper comes with a locking
mechanism and is strategically designed to prevent the entry of
cockroaches. The Maxden rubbish chute hopper also shuts completely
to seal out pests and smells, instantly cockroach proofing the bin.
Built with magnetic sealing technology, an airtight seal is offered
by this stainless-steel hopper.
Manufactured in a range of sizes to fit HDB and condo estates, you
can rest assured that the best-fit door will be installed in your
home.
What is the condo or HDB chute replacement price?
