What are Waste Management services in Elite?
To be one of the best in the waste management field, Elite Group offers the following services or products:
1- Garbage Chute
A garbage chute is a vertical passage used to efficiently dispose of waste materials from different floors of the same building to a center point.
It is used to help get rid of garbage without having to carry it through many floors and stairs. The garbage chute is usually made of metal or fire-rated plastic, materials that comply with safety and building codes.
2- Debris Chute
A debris chute is a special tool in construction used to move debris like concrete and rubble from high places to lower ones for disposal. It’s often used in tall buildings to make it easier to get rid of waste from building, renovating, or tearing down structures.
3- PWCS
Pneumatic Waste Collection System (PWCS) is a modern and automated waste management solution that uses a network of underground pipes and pneumatic technology to transport waste from various locations within a building or urban area to a central collection point. This system is designed to replace traditional methods of waste collection, such as manual collection or the use of conventional waste chutes. Pneumatic waste collection systems are often implemented in large buildings, residential complexes, commercial areas, or smart cities.
4- Centralized vacuum system
A centralized vacuum system is a household or commercial cleaning system consisting of a network of tubing installed within the walls or floors of the building. This tubing is connected to a central power unit, typically located in a garage, basement, or utility room.
To use it, the user plugs a lightweight hose into wall or floor inlet valves throughout the building. When the vacuum is turned on, suction is generated at the inlet valve, and dirt, dust, and debris are pulled through the tubing into the central power unit for collection. The collected debris is typically stored in a large canister or bag within the central unit, which needs to be emptied periodically.
5- Compacting Bin
A compacting bin, also called a trash compactor, is a special trash container that squashes garbage to make it take up less space. It has a mechanism inside that presses down on the waste. These bins are often used for household trash, recycling, or industrial waste. They use a ram or press to push the waste together, making it smaller. Compact bins are usually powered by electricity or hydraulic systems. They have lids and seals to trap smells and keep the squashed waste inside. Some newer ones even have sensors to know when to squash the trash automatically. You can use them automatically or manually, depending on your needs. This can save money because it reduces the number of times you need to empty the bin.
