Trash Chutes for Roofing and Renovation Jobs
A trash chute takes debris from your roof or an upper floor straight down into the dumpster. Your crew skips the trips down stairs, ladders and elevators, and your building stays cleaner. It suits any job where the debris starts above the ground floor: roof tear-offs, interior demolition, apartment turnovers, office remodels, hotel renovations and restoration work.
There are two ways to do it. A stationary chute is built up in sections and hangs off scaffolding, and the scaffold is where most of the cost sits, because it has to be rented, put up by hand and taken down again. The Trash Rocket avoids all of that. It arrives on its own trailer, nothing is fixed to the building, and one operator has it up in 10 to 15 minutes.
We bring the roll-off dumpster that goes underneath either one, swap it when it fills and take everything away at the end, on one account, and we handle the scaffolding where a job needs it. If you would rather own a Trash Rocket, tell us how high your jobs run and we will help you pick the model, quote it and order it. If you own one already and it needs a repair, call us and we will quote it.

Chute and Dumpster Rental Together
A trash chute needs a container underneath it, and that is usually a roll-off dumpster. We bring both, set up the Trash Rocket and position the dumpster under the chute, all on one account.
Your dumpster is sized to what is coming down, and we swap it when it fills. We run the dumpsters and the trucks, so we schedule every swap ourselves.
The Trash Rocket works with any size dumpster, including a 40 yard, which stands over 8 feet tall. A dump truck works too, but not with the chute at its highest angle, because the truck’s open top sits higher than the chute’s bottom exit at that angle.
See our commercial dumpster rental page for sizes from 10 to 40 yards.

Trash Chute and Trash Rocket Questions
Do I Need Scaffolding for a Trash Chute?
It depends which chute. A stationary chute is built up in sections down the side of the building and hangs off scaffolding, so yes, and the scaffold is usually the larger part of the cost. Renting it, assembling it by hand and taking it down again all take time.
The Trash Rocket does not need any. It arrives on its own trailer, nothing is fixed to the building, and one operator sets it up in 10 to 15 minutes.
If your job does need scaffolding we handle that side too, so you are not coordinating two companies on the same footprint.
What Does the Site Need for Setup?
A flat spot for the trailer with room for the outriggers, and clearance between the building and where the chute comes down. The Rocket runs off its own battery, so there is no generator and no power drop to arrange. The battery should be charged at night.
Can It Reach Over Landscaping or a Canopy?
Yes. The arm articulates, so the trailer does not have to sit against the building. The TR-5000 can stand up to 32 feet away and the TR-3600 up to 19 feet.
Which Trash Rocket Model Do I Need?
It depends on how high your job is. The TR-3600 suits 2-story homes and 2 to 3 story commercial jobs, and the TR-5000 is for taller buildings.
What Size Dumpster Does the Trash Rocket Fit?
Any size, including a 40 yard, which stands over 8 feet tall. The lower chute folds, so it adjusts to the container’s height and where it sits on the job.
A dump truck works too, but not with the chute at its highest angle, because the truck’s open top sits higher than the chute’s bottom exit at that angle.
We bring the roll-off that goes underneath either way, so the chute and the container arrive on one account.
