The rubbish chute side entry hopper is a smart solution for routing waste into a vertical chute system from scaffold platforms or building windows. Designed for sites where a top access hopper is impractical or unsafe, it enables waste to be offloaded laterally into the chute system, streamlining disposal operations and enhancing worker safety.
Each unit is manufactured using a single-piece mould of impact-resistant MDPE and HDPE. These materials offer excellent structural stability under load and resist cracking, even in demanding UK site conditions. This hopper connects directly to rubbish chute sections and is fitted with chains and wire ropes for secure installation on elevated access points.
- Lateral waste entry - Enables debris drop-off from scaffolds or windows into vertical chutes.
- Tough site-ready construction - Built from UV-stable plastics for prolonged exposure outdoors.
- Supplied complete - Includes fixing brackets, chain sets and wire ropes for rapid setup.
- Works with all chute diameters - Compatible with 20”, 22”, and 30” HERMEQ chute systems.
- Space-saving storage - Fully stackable for streamlined logistics between job sites.
Side entry hoppers are ideal on tight scaffold builds or buildings where a top-loaded system would pose safety concerns. This makes them particularly suitable for renovation, refurbishment, and urban groundworks projects where window-level entry is more practical. When linked to a full chute run, they provide a safe, enclosed route for waste to move from working height to the container below.
HERMEQ stock a wide-range of Waste Management, Scaffolding, Building & Working At Height equipment conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

When fitted securely, this side entry hopper ensures waste handling tasks are safe and fast. It acts as the access point for rubbish generated inside buildings or scaffold decks, feeding into the main chute body. The semi-flared mouth gives operatives plenty of room for tipping bags, bricks, or offcuts into the unit without risk of spills or rebound.
The hopper is available in three core system sizes to match the diameter of your existing chute run. Whether you're running a compact 20” system for lightweight internal debris, a 22” for mixed construction waste, or the 30” system for heavy-duty clearance jobs, this side entry hopper slots seamlessly into place.
- 20” Hopper - Ideal for refurbishment and light debris access from standard window bays.
- 22” Hopper - Versatile for most site applications where mid-range capacity is required.
- 30” Hopper - Suited to heavy waste jobs like strip-outs and demolition debris.
- Fixing frame compatible - Can be secured using HERMEQ’s scaffold or window frames.
- Built for multiple reuses - Durable mould and stacking ability support long-term use.
In fast-paced groundworks and structural projects, efficiency in waste management is non-negotiable. This hopper improves waste flow logistics, helps keep scaffolding clear, and prevents time loss from waste pile-ups. An indispensable component for high-rise, confined or retrofitted environments.
