The Trentham is a residential development delivered by Figurehead Construction in the bayside suburb of Sandringham. Located within an established residential area, the project required a compliant and reliable waste management solution that could support daily residential use while maintaining safety, hygiene, and long‑term performance.
To meet these requirements, Elephants Foot Chute Solutions supplied and installed a fully integrated dual waste and recycling chute system designed for medium‑density residential environments. The system incorporates 510mm galvanised steel chute pipes servicing ground level through to Level 4, providing smooth vertical waste transfer while reducing the risk of blockages and operational issues.
Separate fire rated, self‑closing intake doors are installed for both waste and recycling on each active level. This allows residents to correctly separate materials at the point of disposal while maintaining fire and smoke compartmentation in accordance with building compliance requirements. Clear separation of waste streams supports improved recycling outcomes and consistent system use.
At the top of the chute, odour relief venting and flushing spray systems provide airflow and automated internal chute cleaning, helping control odours, maintain hygiene, and protect long‑term system performance. At basement level, waste and recycling are discharged through minor offset discharge points, allowing efficient bin placement within the discharge room while minimising spatial impact.
The completed waste chute system provides a low‑maintenance, future‑ready solution that supports reliable daily operations and long‑term building value in a high quality bayside residential setting.
