AdvisoryRubbish
The BPSE complex daily handles the waste from 413 apartments and 15 commercial tenancies. Managing this amount of refuse while maintaining a tidy, hygienic, odour and vermin free environment requires considerable time and effort on the part of the complex's staff.
This page aims to inform residents on how to use the waste management infrastructure most effectively and thereby assist the staff in keeping the complex a pleasant place to live in for all.
A Rubbish Chute Room is present on each level of every building directly adjacent to the lifts. They are open 24/7.
The chute can be used to dispose of ordinary bagged kitchen waste (i.e. green waste).
Rubbish, glassware, packaging or other items must not be discarded on the floor of a bin chute room as it poses a health and fire hazard.
The chute should not be used to dispose of the following:
- Glassware.
- Recyclables items.
- Packaging.
- Umbrellas.
- Liquids of any kind.
- Un-bagged kitchen waste.
- Corrosive or hazardous substances.
- Extra large items that could block the chute.
Packaging, glassware, recyclable and large items must be taken to the ground floor General Rubbish Room and sorted before being correctly placed in one of the designated skips.
