This Lunchtime Learning session will cover the basic foundation, designs, and NFPA codes pertaining to trash, recycle and linen chutes. We will also cover designs for shafts, discharge rooms and venting. Trash, recycling, and linen chutes must be designed, installed, and maintained to meet the 2019 NFPA 82 standard. This course addresses these requirements in detail and includes discussions on sound dampening, electric interlock doors systems as well as compactors and sorters. Trash, recycling, and linen chutes must be designed and manufactured to meet the 2019 NFPA 82 and ADA standards. This course addresses how trash, recycling and linen chutes need to be designed in order to meet those requirements, from the roof to the ground floor, including intake doors, breaches in the shaft wall, and spatial requirements in the discharge room.

Learning Objectives: 

• Describe the steps involved in the design of a typical trash, recycling, or linen chute, and accessory components to ensure an NFPA 82-compliant system.
• Discuss how interlock and pneumatic doors, disinfecting and sanitizing units, and heat sensors are used to protect building occupants from fire, falling debris, and odor and bacteria exposure.
• Explain the NFPA 82 requirement for automatic, fusible-linked sprinklers, and how they help eliminate fire hazards.
• Identify the various components that comprise a chute system and describe how trash, recycling, and linen chute systems differ.
