Castillo is a medium‑density residential development delivered by Esteem Developments within the Central Coast growth corridor. Located close to transport, retail, and key employment areas, the project required a dependable waste management solution capable of supporting daily resident use while maintaining compliance, operational efficiency, and long‑term building performance.
To meet these requirements, Elephants Foot Chute Solutions supplied and installed a dedicated residential waste chute system designed to provide efficient vertical waste transfer from Ground through Level 06. The system incorporates durable 510mm galvanised steel chute pipes, delivering strength, longevity, and consistent internal flow suited to multi‑residential construction.
Each level is fitted with fire‑rated, self‑closing waste chute intake doors, ensuring safe and compliant resident access while supporting building fire safety standards. At Level 06, an integrated vent and wash‑down cleaning system assists with airflow management, odour control, and internal chute hygiene—supporting reliable daily operation in a shared residential environment.
Waste discharges at Basement Level 1 via a medium‑offset arrangement designed to suit operational bin handling requirements. This configuration allows flexibility in the waste room layout while maintaining efficient material flow from chute to collection point.
Together, the installation forms part of the building’s broader apartment waste management infrastructure, delivering a compliant, durable, and low‑maintenance solution tailored to contemporary apartment living in West Gosford.
