Systems and methods to facilitate the cleaning of arenas, such as stadiums
having different seating levels. Pivotable bins can collect and funnel
trash from different levels such as the concourse level. A series of
tubes or chutes can be fixed to the arena structural undercarriage.
Approximately 24'' diameter tubes can be used to funnel trash from the
bins located on perimeter arena walkways to receptacle containers,
recycling containers at ground levels, and even refuse removal trucks.
The chutes and tubes can be located adjacent to walkway aisles on
different levels of the arena. The chutes/tubes can be vertically
oriented and/or be inclined as long as refuse can move down the chutes by
gravity. Grates can be also used beneath the bins. And locks can further
provide safety.
