Hello everyone,
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.

Forget about the garbage chute. It’s not going to make you happy.
We have two sensor-equipped trash bins that open automatically when I stand in front of them. One for recyclables and one for general waste—simple and easy. They look nice and I don’t have to touch anything.
Next to them are two stacked Ikea Sortera bins for glass (which is sealed and can be stored for months) and paper. The organic waste is kept in a lidded container by the sink and taken out to the compost as needed.
The entire setup takes up less than 2 meters (6.5 feet) of space. Soon, the sensor bins will be placed under a custom-built counter, so they’ll be out of sight.
