Garbage chutes are common in high-rise apartment buildings and are used to collect all the building's garbage in one place. Often the bottom end of the chute is placed directly above a large  waste container. This makes garbage collection faster and more efficient. Mail chutes are used in some buildings to collect the occupants' mail. A notable example is the Asia Insurance Building. Escape chutes are used and proposed for use in evacuation of mining equipment and high-rise buildings. Construction chutes are used to remove rubble and similar demolition materials safely from taller buildings. These temporary structures typically consist of a chain of cylindrical or conical plastic tubes, each fitted into the top of the one below and tied together, usually with chains. Together they form a long flexible tube, which is hung down the side of the building. The lower end of this tube is placed over a skip or other receptacle, and waste materials are dropped into the top. Heavy duty steel chutes may also be used when the debris being deposited is heavy duty and in cases of particularly high buildings. An elevator is not a chute as it is not moved by means of gravity.
