Garbage Chutes! Mostly out of pure laziness. My first idea was an contraption I'd seen in an old victorian here in SF where you could open the front door from the 3rd floor by pulling a lever, but I couldn't find a pic. But hey! This garbage chute is fancy and updated for all our recycling-separation needs!

NYC back in the 70's- lived in an old tenement house, about six stories. The garbage chute scared the livin' crap outta me. There were stories the older Italian ladies told us about dead bodies down there. I imagine it was meant to keep us kids safely away from it but they had no idea the therapy bills it would cost later on down the road. Geesh, them urban legends...

yeah, ive had these in my SF apts too. i dont quite get the 'tower recycling system' but sounds like a great idea.

i wonder if this could be retrofitted to send my garbage to my dumpster, which is a good 500 feet away

@sydtheskeptic: My brother & sister did the same thing to me when we went to my uncle's house!! Cruel.

@nicolebliss: Yes, the tower recycling system seems a little weird, but I think it's workable.
