Delivering Waste-Management Infrastructure

Wasteman Servicing

Wasteman Servicing was engaged to deliver the waste-management infrastructure for The Grande, installing dual garbage and recycling chute systems aligned with the project’s waste strategy, fire-safety requirements, and operational constraints of a dense CBD development.

Wasteman Servicing specialises in the design, installation, and ongoing servicing of waste chute systems for high-density residential and mixed-use developments. Working closely with builders and consultants, the company delivers compliant, buildable solutions that integrate seamlessly with construction sequencing, fire safety systems, and long-term building operations.

“Our scope included supplying and installing 510mm diameter lagged galvanised dual garbage and recycling chutes across the building,” explained Elie Mizhar, Director of Wasteman Servicing. “This covered all levels, including the lower ground discharge into the collection room.”

The system included fire-rated stainless steel chute doors on every level, vent installations extending above roof height, wash-down flushing systems, compliant access hatches for maintenance, NRD isolation rubber mounts, and sprinkler provisions at every floor.

The collection room itself featured a two-chute offset configuration designed to safely separate waste streams, with gravity-closing A-Type discharge doors suitable for 2m3 bins. These doors are engineered to close automatically in the event of fire, supporting occupant and building safety.

“The chutes were custom made and Australian designed. We’re proud to be locally manufactured and to provide solutions that meet the specific needs of each development,” said Elie.

While the scale of installation spanned multiple floors, the delivery process was smooth and well coordinated. “There were no issues with access or programming. We delivered our works on time and met the builder’s schedule and compliance requirements,” explained Elie.

Wasteman Servicing delivers garbage chute installation, cleaning and maintenance services across Sydney, supporting both planned servicing and reactive works.

“We are currently the leading company for chute cleaning and servicing, and the preferred contact for blockages and breakdowns,” Elie said. “Competitive rates and skilled technicians are what keep our clients coming back.”

Capital Doorworks applied its engineering, manufacturing, and electrical expertise to supply and install roller shutters and access doors across The Grande, supporting safe, reliable, and coordinated access throughout the building.

The Grande’s waste rooms and basement car parks required reliable, and technically precise solutions that supported operational efficiency, fire compliance, and long-term functionality.

The company’s scope included one roller shutter to the waste collection room on the lower ground, two fire-rated roller shutters, one roller door servicing both the lower ground and Basement 1 waste collection rooms, three roller shutters for the penthouse parking area, and one roller shutter to the basement carpark entry.

Capital Doorworks’ extensive experience on large-scale mixed-use developments involving integrating mechanical, electrical, and structural elements ensured seamless coordination across a complex, multi-level development with high-performance system needs.

“What really stood out on The Grande was how all divisions of our company came together as one team. Our shutter project manager worked closely with the roller door manager and the manufacturing team, who supplied the structural steel and flashings for the penthouse doors. Meanwhile, our electricians installed steel logic boxes, keypads, and four uninterrupted power supplies to complete the integration,” explained Sally Bowman, Finance Manager at Capital Doorworks.

Each installation was engineered to meet strict fire, safety, and functionality requirements, ensuring reliable operation across all access points. The result is a seamless system that complements The Grande’s architectural design while enhancing the building’s operational efficiency and safety.

Capital Doorworks continues to apply its expertise to complex, large-scale developments across the ACT. Current projects, including Olea in Gungahlin and The Eastbourne in Campbell, showcase the company’s ability to deliver technically precise access solutions that meet safety, operational, and architectural requirements, reinforcing its role as a trusted partner in high-performance building projects.
