'''Conceptual placement diagram''' — widths are labeled; this is not an in-game screenshot or a tested tower layout:
<pre>
Deposit floor: [Chute Room: 4 tiles][Shaft: 2 tiles]
                                        │ │
Lower floors:                          │ │
                                        ▼ ▼
Bottom:                [one receiving room under both outlets]
</pre>
The deposit room touches the shaft on its right, with no intervening tile. At the bottom, both outlet cells must be over '''the same constructed receiving room''': a Garbage Room, Garbage Dock or Loading Dock.
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Arrangement !! Result
|-
| Chute room immediately left of the shaft; both outlets over one valid receiver || The connection can transfer garbage when the receiver has capacity.
|-
| A gap between chute room and shaft || No valid deposit-room connection.
|-
| Shaft outlets over two different rooms, or an unconstructed receiver || No valid receiving-room connection.
|-
| Valid connection, full receiver || Garbage stays in the chute room until the receiver can accept it.
|}
A connected chute room holding five units is full. Free receiving capacity and check the destination's collection arrangements; the link itself does not guarantee free capacity.
 
== Full rooms and blocked connections ==
A connected room transfers garbage automatically when the destination has available capacity. If the receiver is full or cannot currently accept deposits, the chute room retains its garbage. At five units it is full and cannot accept more until garbage transfers out.
 
'''Connected to garbage destination''' confirms the link, not free capacity. If the room fills, inspect the destination and its collection arrangements. '''No connection''' means the shaft or receiving-room connection needs attention.


Chutes do not replace disposal trucks or workers collecting from a Garbage Room; they shorten the route to the receiving facility.
The garbage chute must be positioned so that the bottom of the shaft is immediately above a [[Garbage room]], [[Garbage dock]] or [[Loading dock]].

Garbage Chute Room
Garbage Chute Room
A local garbage deposit room connected to a shaft.

CategoryFacilities

A Garbage Chute Room lets tenants deposit garbage near their floor rather than carry it all the way to a garbage facility. Garbage that is deposited in a chute will fall to a garbage facility that is immediately below it.

The garbage chute can also hold up to 5 garbage in case the chute is unable to accept more garbage and will automatically deposit them when the chute becomes available again.

Placement

Build the room immediately to the left of a Garbage Chute, touching the shaft along the room's right side. Place the room close to tenants that produce garbage to minimize their commute.

The garbage chute must be positioned so that the bottom of the shaft is immediately above a Garbage room, Garbage dock or Loading dock.
