Easy Chute LLC

Easy Chute is a lightweight construction trash chute made from woven, coated poly fabric designed for contractors, roofers, and junk removal crews. It hangs from a window, roof edge, or scaffold to drop debris straight into a dumpster below. The company offers sections in 10, 25, and 50 ft lengths that connect to reach any height.

A 10 ft lite-duty section costs $99, while a 10 ft heavy-duty section is $149. The 25 ft section is priced at $277 and the 50 ft section at $596. All prices are fixed and shipping is free to job sites anywhere in the United States.

To determine the number of sections needed, measure from the window sill or roof edge down to the top of the dumpster. Each connection overlaps 1.5 ft, so every extra section adds its length minus 1.5 ft. As a rule of thumb, a 10 ft section covers about one story, the 25 ft section about two and a half, and the 50 ft section about five.

Each section has four woven connection loops at the top and four at the bottom. Clip the top loops to a secure anchor with carabiners or quick-connects, then clip the next section's top loops to the bottom loops of the one above. Middle shortening straps let you take up slack for an exact fit without needing outriggers, frames, or hoists.

You can use a standard 32-gallon commercial trash can as a hopper by cutting the bottom out and seating it in the top of the chute. This creates a wide, sturdy mouth that allows wheelbarrows and buckets to tip straight into the chute.

The chute is built for common construction and renovation debris such as drywall, plaster and lath, roofing shingles, wood scraps, and insulation. You should bag fine dust and keep oversized or very heavy pieces like long beams and cast-iron fixtures off the chute.

Easy Chute meets or exceeds applicable OSHA regulations, including the rule that material dropped more than 20 feet outside a building's exterior walls must go down an enclosed chute. This standard is found in 29 CFR 1926.252.

The company ships EasyChute sections to job sites anywhere in the United States with free shipping on every order. They can be called at 855-90-CHUTE (855-902-4883) if overnight shipping or a delivery date confirmation is required.

The woven, tear-resistant poly fabric is designed for job-site use and a 10 ft section folds small enough to fit in a drawer. Crews keep a chute on the truck and use it job after job because it is reusable.

The chute was invented in Massachusetts by remodeling contractor Tim Hogan and Leo Guarente, the owner behind Junkster Bag and Junk Depot. They tested prototype after prototype on real job sites around Boston before the product went on sale.

The process involves three simple steps: demo the window, roof edge, or scaffold deck like usual, bag the fine dust and feed debris into the chute mouth, and clip the top loops to a secure anchor to let debris drop straight into the dumpster below.

The website states that the chute is light enough to carry, hangs in minutes, builds to any height, and is yours to keep. It is made for real job sites ranging from kitchen remodels and attic cleanouts to roof tear-offs and multi-story gut renovations.
