The Rubbish Chute Side Entry Hopper 20″ is a vital component for construction, refurbishment, and demolition projects across the UK. Designed for standard 20-inch (approx. 500 mm) scaffold rubbish chute systems, it allows safe, ergonomic side-loading of rubble, bricks, plaster, timber, and general site waste directly from scaffold platforms.
Unlike traditional top-entry hoppers that require overhead lifting, the side-entry design enables operatives to slide or push debris horizontally into the chute. This reduces physical strain, speeds up waste removal, and minimises spillage and accident risk on busy sites.

Manufactured from high-impact, UV-stabilised high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the hopper offers excellent durability, weather resistance, and long service life under heavy use. It connects securely to standard chute sections using galvanised steel chains and features reinforced edges to contain debris during descent.
Lightweight yet exceptionally tough, it supports efficient multi-floor waste management while aligning with UK health and safety best practice. The hopper integrates seamlessly with our 1.1 m chute sections, top hoppers, and universal fixing frames for a complete disposal system. Delivery is available within 2–5 business days, with collection also available from our West Sussex yard.

It serves as an intermediate or platform-level entry point in scaffold rubbish chute systems, enabling safe, efficient disposal of construction debris from elevated working areas without overhead lifting.
The side-entry model features a horizontal loading opening ideal for scaffold platforms or confined spaces, whereas top hoppers are loaded vertically from above. This design improves ergonomics and reduces fatigue on multi-storey projects.
Yes, it is designed for universal compatibility with most standard 20-inch (500 mm) plastic chute sections, fixing frames, and accessories available in the UK market.
It is constructed from robust, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) that is UV-stabilised and highly resistant to impacts, chemicals, and all weather conditions typical on UK construction sites.
It connects directly to chute sections using supplied galvanised chains. For stable positioning, pair it with a universal fixing frame (available separately) and clamp or tie it securely to the scaffold standards or ledgers. Always follow site-specific risk assessments and manufacturer guidelines.
Ensure the complete chute system is assembled correctly, inspected daily, and secured against movement. Maintain clear exclusion zones below, use appropriate PPE, avoid overloading, and never climb into or lean over the hopper. It promotes safer manual handling but must be part of a comprehensively risk-assessed waste management plan.
It handles typical site debris such as bricks, rubble, and plasterboard in manageable loads. Avoid dropping very heavy single items from height; slide or guide materials in to maintain controlled descent.
We primarily supply the side-entry hopper for purchase, with delivery or collection. For larger projects, enquire about our complete rubbish chute system packages.
