DEBRIS & TRASH CHUTES FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Debris Chute Rental in Texas

Keeping your construction site clean and safe isn’t optional—it’s essential. MDM Scaffolding delivers construction clean-up solutions in the form of  industry-grade debris and trash chutes that are tailored to a wide range of jobsite demands. This helps general contractors, demolition teams, and construction managers to streamline clean-up. Whether you're working on a high-rise or a short-term renovation, we offer a complete line of construction trash chute systems that are built for performance, safety, and compliance.

What Are Construction Trash Chutes?

Construction debris chutes are temporary systems designed to efficiently remove waste and debris from elevated areas of a jobsite. These vertical or angled tubes carry material directly from the source to a designated disposal area, such as a skip, eliminating the risks and inefficiencies of manual transport via stairwells or elevators.

  • Demolition or major remodel projects
     

  • Multi-level construction zones
     

  • Urban developments with limited space
     

  • Projects with strict cleanup timelines
     

  • Sites using scaffolding or elevated platforms

TYPES OF DEBRIS CHUTES MDM OFFERS

At MDM Scaffolding, we provide a variety of construction clean-up solutions designed for different applications, materials, and project scopes. Each scaffold debris chute or standalone system is engineered for optimal performance in the field.

Steel waste removing trash chute

STEEL TRASH CHUTES

Best for: High-rise projects, long-term applications, heavy debris
 

Key Benefits:

  • Built for durability and strength
     

  • Withstand abrasive materials like brick, concrete, and demolition waste
     

  • Virtually maintenance-free over extended use
     

  • Secure, reliable performance at extreme heights
     

Steel construction chutes are the go-to choice when longevity, load capacity, and safety are top priorities. They're ideal for commercial buildings, high-rises, and complex demolition zones where temporary systems need to handle serious volume.

Engineered scaffold 3d design

ALUMINUM TRASH CHUTES

Best for: Elevator shafts, light-duty clean-up, scaffold integration
 

Why Choose Aluminum?

  • Lightweight yet sturdy
     

  • Easy to hang from scaffolding, balconies, or temporary frames
     

  • Rust-resistant for both indoor and outdoor use
     

  • Simplifies installation and teardown
     

Aluminum trash chutes provide a great balance of durability and ease of use. They're a favorite for contractors needing quick setup in areas where weight and flexibility matter, such as in vertical shafts or tight urban spaces.

PLYWOOD DEBRIS CHUTES

Best for: Custom applications, angled runs, interior demolitions
 

Why Go Custom?

  • Highly customizable to unique project needs
     

  • Can include slide systems or multi-directional drops
     

  • Economical material cost
     

  • Requires professional design and assembly
     

For job sites that don't fit the mold, plywood debris chutes offer a completely configurable solution. These systems are ideal for interior renovations or non-traditional building shapes, and they shine where control over debris flow is critical.

Heavy duty plastic waste removal trash chute on construction site

HEAVY-DUTY PLASTIC TRASH CHUTES

Best for: Versatile use across all jobsite types
 

Key Advantages:

  • Adaptable to scaffolding, decks, and multi-story buildings
     

  • Indoor and outdoor compatibility
     

  • Impact-resistant high-density plastic
     

  • Quick to install and dismantle
     

Our heavy-duty plastic trash chutes are the most flexible option in the MDM lineup. They’re often the preferred solution for both contractors and maintenance teams needing fast, cost-effective debris management without sacrificing safety.

How to Choose the Right Trash Chute for Your Project

When selecting the right construction trash chute system, it's important to consider the unique demands of your site.
 

Project Duration

Long-term jobs benefit from low-maintenance, highly durable materials like steel or aluminum.
 

Building Height

Tall structures require chutes that can maintain structural integrity over long drops—steel or plastic systems work best here. Steel construction chutes are the go-to choice when longevity, load capacity, and safety are top priorities. MDM has installed steel trash chutes reaching up to 300 feet, with floor-to-floor access and zero maintenance required for over two years—making them ideal for demanding, long-term projects.
 

Type of Debris

Heavy or sharp materials call for reinforced systems (steel or heavy-duty plastic), while lighter materials can be handled by plywood or aluminum.
 

Installation Complexity

If you're working on a tight schedule, opt for quick-assembly options like plastic or aluminum.
 

Budget Constraints

Plywood is cost-effective but labor-intensive. Steel costs more up-front but pays off in durability. Plastic chutes often strike the best balance. Not sure which option fits your needs? Our team is here to help evaluate your jobsite and recommend the best fit for your scope, timeline, and budget.
