During the restoration of buildings in the construction industry, mechanized waste removal from work areas and construction sites is often neglected. This poses a safety risk to both people and the environment due to high levels of dust in the air. Dozens of new buildings appear in modern megacities every year. This trend has its pitfalls. In particular, the increasing number of construction sites makes the problem of construction waste removal particularly pressing. Currently, two methods are primarily used to remove construction waste from construction sites: throwing waste out of windows and lowering waste down stairs or scaffolding. The advantage of the first option is the quick solution. However, throwing waste out of windows raises environmental and safety concerns. The second method is considered safer, but it requires significant physical effort. Therefore, a construction waste chute is currently the most effective solution to this problem.
