We are currently at the shell construction stage and are thinking about how to manage all the waste in the kitchen: plastic, organic waste, paper, glass, and general trash. Our current kitchen is practically full because of this.
We have considered installing a waste chute in the exterior kitchen wall to directly dispose of the waste into the outdoor bins. This would mean having five small openings with pipes in the wall, and outside, the waste bins would be placed under the pipes to be filled directly. You could simply throw the waste into the wall from the kitchen, and it would be gone.
Has anyone had experience with this or built something like it themselves?
Something like this, just smaller for the kitchen.

First of all, you don’t need five "small" holes. These actually need to be quite large. Additionally, you create thermal bridges this way. Also, such openings require regular cleaning, as debris will inevitably get in or leak out from time to time.
Wouldn’t a corner duct be more effective?

Taking the waste out immediately every time is also inconvenient and impractical. There is no space in the kitchen to store organic waste, plastic, residual waste, and glass.

It might even be possible to tap water directly from the kitchen and have small nozzles installed in the pipes to flush them if needed.

And then the garbage juice leaks into the bins or runs down the facade onto the area in front?
Trash bins can also be nicely integrated into kitchen cabinets. Do you already have a kitchen design? Together with the floor plan, it might be possible to give more useful advice.
What I sometimes wish for is a garbage disposal in the sink like in American TV shows... that’s not allowed here, right?
