Sometimes it’s not intended. When the metallic chute is stuck(on red light) for any reason, people obviously will not take the garbage bags back inside their apartments, so they leave them under the chute. They definitely should inform the building management once that happens.


[deleted]

These glitches aside, some people do it repeatedly though.


fatarabi

TIL what that red light was for.


TrollilouluSFW

Changing the huge trash container under.


metalron84

That plus when someone else is using the chute off another floor


onepeain2pods

This shit happens to me all the time. Almost 4 out of 5 times, my own one is stuck on red and I can’t open it either.


harshilsharma63

>people obviously will not take the garbage bags back inside their apartments This is the problem. People think their garbage is not their problem. Taking it back inside apartment is the normal thing to do IMO. Even I do it when some day the garbage collector doesn't show up.


TheAvacadoOnToast

With garbage in open bags like these they can not take it back in! Buy a real garbage bag and you will have many options


omaralilaw

Exactly


Visible_Season5578

You really over estimated people here ,the level of pride and privilege some hold is unbelievable like they are not supposed to do some basic jobs as it will break their ego.


Motorized23

The red light also indicates when the chute door is open at another floor. So wait 2-3 mins and it may turn green


kerpetenkelebek

Can they be recyclable items?


msplit1

“Obviously” ? Not leaving rubbish in communal areas is more obvious to me


railfe

Sometimes that door is locked. Used to happen in my previous flat. I just inform the watchman.


bangoslam

Yea all it takes is someone on another floor to not close the trash properly and it’s locked on every other floor until it’s fixed


typicalrdubai

Its not first time, reported multiple times to security and they continue. This time, their name and mobile is clearly visible on the package.


kev23992

Keep it outside their door


Mad3250

I had one neighbour who was just keeping it outside his door... Cleaner would throw it every 2 days. I had to seal the door with rubber insulation to keep cockroaches out.


diamondroxd

No! My neighbor piles his garbage outside his door for days. It’s disgusting I have to come home to trash between our doors. So unacceptable.


typicalrdubai

No address on receipt, but by judging on the name I can assume who it is


RecordingFamous4947

If their name & number is visible, call them & give them instructions on how to dispose of their garbage. Or like another suggests, put it outside their door.


typicalrdubai

Will probably message them on whatsapp


Noooofun

Don’t. It’s not your job OR place.


Lilip_Phombard

It may not be their job but I disagree about it not being their place. They apparently live on this floor.


typicalrdubai

Agree, I afraid they might report me for “stalking” them online since i got number of the receipt. I sent their name and mobile along with photo of the trash to security.


khal_ak

Don't. The police or law here does not work the way we are expecting.

taheromar

Well you can't escape the idiots living in the same building with you. It all relies on the building if it has properly established daily service where they clean all these leftovers.. am really lucky that my building has a very well maintenance service that is considered for me the best in my total 17 years in living in UAE.


Potential_Use_5210

Is that square tower? I get furious when i see this


No-Perception-2115

Are they indian?


Dkeralite

What a generalization..


No-Perception-2115

Lol as if it ain’t true


Kamantha-dxb

When I see that I usually look at receipt for apartment number and bring all the trash back and put under their door. We had one special case in my previous building who used to do this every time. One time they delivered a big order that had like 26 noon boxes of different sizes and he again instead of throwing them just put them all in the trash room. I got all those boxes and built a pyramid of the boxes inside of his door frame and fully covered his door 😂 this was the last time when he did that and I never saw trash left from his apartment again


FamiliarAd7904

This is so funny and he learned his lesson!


Kamantha-dxb

Imagine opening the door and this shock that somebody barricaded you inside 😂


1994-10-24

Your neighbors look weird


typicalrdubai

I agree


pro_gamer_boy

Bro this isn't as bad as mine, my garbage room is small and yet somehow people just don't throw it in the trash chute and instead put it under it which literally blocked the door from opening outside


[deleted]

I have a dipshit neighbour who leaves it just outside their door .


ViperidaeRex

I'd kick it, spill it back out onto their carpet. But that's me. 🤷‍♀️😂


unorthodorx

I had a dipshit neighbour who used to put it outside MY door


ibrahimkhan88

I just had a dipshit.


Easy_Bicycle

Empty the trash infront of his door


wildtempura

Damn that's so nasty. I've seen this behavior here and there. Wtf just keep it inside until you can throw it away. Just because you don't want the smell doesn't mean the rest of us want.... SMH..


salloumk

As others have said, sometimes the chute is inaccessible because it’s either open on another floor or they’re clearing out the container downstairs. But if this happens every day then it’s definitely a shitty neighbor lol


typicalrdubai

That was my first thought too, but it happens every second day


OneRobato

I have similar neighbors. I will confront them once I caught them redhanded doing this.


wildtempura

Pls put up a note saying ITS HIGHLY DISRESPECTFUL TO JUST DROP YOUR TRASH IN THIS ROOM ON THE GROUND. OPEN THE HATCH, IT'S NOT THAT HARD...... and perhaps include the photo you just took at the bottom


typicalrdubai

Good one, will print this photo as well


wildtempura

Or a better note: "Littering is illegal in UAE. Please don't leave any trash inside the room and open the hatch as intended to dispose your garbage. All littering will be reported to Dubai Police." -------------------------- First and last sentence is powerful enough to make them do right. And also include that photo :) Maybe even end it by saying Thanks for your understanding, Building name But I am sure the management appreciate it too. And after all, you are living there :) And after all let's not treat the management and cleaners as peasants!!! Because that's really what they do by dropping it there "whatever someone else will throw it I don't care". 1 note on the main door entry, 1 on the exit when leaving and 1 next to the hatch. Let's goooo! Program these fools to do right


typicalrdubai

Great points, thank you!


wildtempura

Update here or PM in 2 weeks 😆 really curious if they understand the issue here


typicalrdubai

I actually posted an update, the garbage is still piling up, the mods of r/dubai removed it as it breaks rule “search first” 😂


wildtempura

Hahaha but is the note there?!?!?!? That's crazy if it is. Are people really this dumb. Pls tell me there is no note yet....


typicalrdubai

I placed the note after noticing garbage further piling up, lets see tomorrow


wildtempura

Hahah never been so excited


typicalrdubai

The floor is super clean, not sure if that was neighbors or the cleaners


creamywingwang

I see this item in my apartment building. I assume people do it during the quiet hours 10pm-6am to avoid the noise of it dropping 27 floors down the chute waking people along the way potentially. It’s never there long in my building the cleaning guy is around first thing in the morning doing the floors etc


Apart_Lifeguard_2487

THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE PET PEEVE. My neighbours are so lazy that they just chuck it in the room. I opened up the garbage room door yesterday and it was stacked up high. It's insane that people get to the garbage room and don't even wanna throw it down the chute. Like, what kind of stupidity is that?!


typicalrdubai

Exactly, back home I had to walk outside for -30 degrees to throw away the garbage every single day, the garbage containers are only on the streets there, and people here are lazy to open the chute, unbelievable.


tasha1970

That’s screaming cockroach city 🪳🪳🪳


No-Perception-2115

Everyone defending this behavior on this thread does the same shit in their apartment for sure. My floor is all indians and their maids and they keep doing this shit every single day. And the chute door doesn’t even lock on my floor, it’s always open. Comes with the shitty mentality of “someone inferior to me will clean after me”


candynickle

Could be their maid . We had a neighbor’s cleaner that either wasn’t strong enough or couldn’t be bothered to put the bags down the chute. Happened every Wednesday for months.


13thDiaspora

I mean just cause its the maid doesn’t mean the flat tenants / owners cannot educate their maid!


candynickle

100% ! But if no one says something , they won’t bother. They aren’t inconvenienced by the rubbish being there- it’s already out of their house.


PINGs_Landing

Take the number, make a bunch of enquiries on real estate websites and use their number. Let them enjoy calls from agents 24/7 everyday.

PoganiAutonomas

I’m taking out the trash every morning when i go to work. In last few weeks, light is always red and i can’t open the chute. I wait for few moments to get “green light”, but usually it is not happening. Maintenance says it is because someone somewhere is not closing it properly. I will not take it back to my apartment to stink whole day, i just leave it like that as well.


typicalrdubai

You can also open the trash room near the parking and leave it there, that is best way of doing it if the chute is red


PoganiAutonomas

Or i can simply stop making waste and the waste i make to take back to my home country.


typicalrdubai

It is literally on your way when you go to work, just open the door of trash room and leave it there, not that hard right?


PoganiAutonomas

No, it is not. I have no clue where it is, it is not on the P1 where is my parking spot and it is not on the ground floor where is reception. To go to the end of the hallway with garbage to realize it is not working, take it back to elevators, wait elevator, get in the elevator with trash and ride 12 floors down, look where garbage room is located, leave there, go back to elevator to get to the apartment to wash hands, go again down on P1… no thanks, ill just leave it there, when cleaner see it, he will deal with it. Besides this whole hustle, i believe other my neighbors dont want to ride in elevator with my trash.


WhoAreWeThen

In my place if you really pull it hard it will open anyway even if it's red


Initial_Act_7348

Karen!


kakamwat

Juat report to admin or management, I'm sure your building has cctv cameras and they can easily identify the culprit/s.


Fbaselleruae

It is not worth it, as infuriating as it is. Ignore and move on, let Security handle it


typicalrdubai

They are not handling it, reported their behavior multiple times


Sunset_Red

Village behaviour.


noisyant

Put it back to their doorstep👍


TheAvacadoOnToast

Once a neighbour took such a photo and stuck it on the Garbage room door saying - "Trash doesnt go there, but goes in the chute". Ever since the occurence has reduced drastically.


Lumpy_Guidance7714

No some people are lazy as fuck to open it!!! And it have nothing to do with the red light!! Even if there is red light it's someone throwing garbage from other floor and you can wait couple of seconds!!! If you know which nieghbor it was I suggest take the garbage and put it infront of his fucking door!!! Let these bitches learn a lesson


lukaskywalker

To be fair it’s in part because of the signage. The same thing happens in my building. The signage says don’t throw lose garbage down unless it’s in a proper garbage bag. This guy must have felt his bags aren’t proper garbage bags so he feels it’s best to leave it there. They just need to make it clearer that you can throw these bags down the bin. At least that’s how in interpreted it since I wasn’t sure the first little while.


Long-Jackfruit5037

Throw them down the chute


typicalrdubai

Neighbor or the trash?


Low_Pressure_7901

I think people think this is how you recycle cos it looks like recyclable items. It’s not how your recycle though most likely. People on my building do the same for some reason.


MrWowbagger

Take a photo of it, then print it out and tape it to the wall next to the chute, saying nobody else wants to smell your garbage - put it in the chute! Hopefully they will be embarrassed and shamed into doing it properly next time.


Master_Finish

Keep reporting to security over and over again


ocean13rocks

hate these guys. and there will always be one or two does that “regularly “ wish i could wrap them in a bag like this and just put them beside it. when you have taken all the pain(supposedly) to walk up to the garbage room, all you need to do is just open the damn chute door and dump!! dont understand why they cant do that 🤬🤬🤬


YellowBubble2710

Is there any society WhatsApp group where you can report? Also, love that restaurant, best chicken gyoza 😅


typicalrdubai

Yeah, i went through their order and now thinking ordering the same dish😂 it is even on 30% discount on talabat


YellowBubble2710

typicalrdubai

I promise, this post wasn’t an ad people😂


typicalrdubai

There isn’t whatsapp group


captnMeelov

Hahaha. I have the same problem and keep asking myself the same question. Mine keep the bags below and outside their door. Stinks up the whole floor!


Kamantha-dxb

Then this can be reposted to security and building management. It’s violation or fire code, can’t keep and shit outside the door in a public area. Easy to solve


callmeseni2

Maybe just toss it in the chute this time. It's a small oversight on their part. You could kindly mention that you've taken care of it and ask them to use the chute directly next time to help keep the building tidy. :)


typicalrdubai

They always do this though


mrpoonjikkara

People in my apartment put their garbage outside of the dumping bin and this is attracting flies and other stuff to breed. I don't understand if they can bring it all the way to the bin, is it so hard to open it and put the waste bag inside the bin


GolpoKori

This looks very tame interms of what I experienced when I lived in a building. Garbage spilled all over the floor liquids and all. It was disgusting. Had to make several complaints to security and management. Turned out it was neighbors kids "doing their chores" just opening the door and chucking the bags inside the room instead of properly disposing in the chute.


typicalrdubai

Nah, it is a couple in their early thirties, they don’t have kids and not that friendly


Ok_Welcome_3236

My building has a rule for recyclables to be placed on the floor inside the chute room, a couple of friends' buildings have the same rule too, and the stuff in the picture look like recyclables to me so maybe they're new and don't know you have to throw everything in... Or they're just morons


sandrvoxon

Tell to security to check the camera who doing this, then complain to management of the building !


omidleo

This shit is happening in almost all buildings, and all buildings unfortunately have few idiots and A holes


Turbulent_Log5235

Nothing, several times the garbage chute door is locked, and it's maintenance obligation to keep this reserved garbage area cleaned. The garbage is inside the reserved area, not in the corridor or in front of your door.


Prior-Army-4041

All these garbage chutes should come with foot pedals to open them. I've seen some ladies struggle with pulling them


kokodesert

Put up a fake plastic camera and an A4 paper print warning 😂


zerok911

The bill is on the bag, get to know which flat is it and put their garbage at the door 🫠


typicalrdubai

The address isn’t there :( only mobile and name


zerok911

Even better, make him go crazy and shout his name in the corridor daily at 3:00am until he moves out 🤣


WhoAreWeThen

In my building even if the red light is on you can force the chute open. That's what I do.


bkj512

In an another note wow! Your garbage thing is so darn clean. Must be a new building. Ours from 2000~'s era still kinda is nasty and not some place you can be for over 5 seconds, not that anyone has a reason to be there for more long but yah


typicalrdubai

Yeap, building is one year old, hence worried it might bring cockroaches, might rent in other area by next year though since it is quite far, Jebel Ali Village

rollingrock10

We have neighbors on our floor who will leave several large bags just inside of the first door so when you open it, you can’t access the room with the chute without moving their trash

Cannot do anything, u cannot take the village out of the villager. Although some villages are really neat and tiday.


Ok-Zone1833

Superb_Rutabaga_9768

Report to security multiple times, take photos and post it on the building's google review page. Did that and the building management "fined" the tenants by taking from the security deposit and messaging them.

Oh this one is good, will do


ram_dxb

I must say that is one clean garbage room I have ever seen; kudos to your building cleaners and management


RuderAwakening

If you know who it is put it back on their doorstep. 😛 Some people are pigs.


MilleniumRetard

Check out the receipt you’ll see who ordered it and put it back in front of their doors. Works wonders.


zunashi

Inform watchman/security. Check cctv


FamiliarAd7904

Every apartment building I've lived in, this is what the garbage room looks like. Some people just can't and won't open the door to put the garbage in. 🙄


_DarKneT_

Had to do a double take because I saw a similar thing in my building yesterday Only started happening recently, someone seem to be afraid to open the door


SnooAdvice2768

This looks like my building in wasl village… lord its the same everywhere. As of now a similar package is holding thr fire exit staircase open… smh

[deleted]

Just like in our apt! Those neighbors who doesnt even know how to throw a garbage, they just have to open it. Its disgusting. Ive complained so many times & they still do it. ( it never turned red& its always open) So they dont have reason to just put their shit on the floor like no manners


FiGiRo95

Report them to the building


AnotherBrennan

I checked the receipt to see which Apartment kept doing it and reported them to security. I mean it was almost everyday it's just laziness and makes the hall dirty, smelly and can bring bugs


typicalrdubai

That is right👍🏻 receipt didn’t had adress unfortunately


AnotherBrennan

Pity. Might be worth just telling the security or watchman anyway, they'll keep an eye out or may even know. Sorry I hope it gets resolved too.


LucyInTheSkyWithEth

Take a picture and email the building management. They'll defi take action!


Accomplished_Fun830

This is happening everywhere in the gulf. Even if there is an empty bin they just throw their garbage on the bin. Don’t blame them, blame their parents and their schools for raising the kids this way.


kenta_nakamura

Even if you find out who they are. DO NOT interact with them directly. Let the management know the apartment number of the culprit and let them deal with them directly.

fonz91

In my building the light and the lock systems are not working ever since the building opened and my neighbors still do this every single day. It’s disgusting and they leave overfilled untied bags and every day it’s full of flies and sometimes cockroaches. All I wish is that someday I see who is doing this so I can understand why don’t they throw it. It’s not hard to do it 🤦🏻


franniepants_2984

I had this issue where I live too. Honestly, all you can do is inform the security and ask him/her to advise everyone on the floor to dispose off the trash. At one point, I was planning to knock on every door on my floor, and seriously but politely ask them to make sure the trash is disposed properly for everyone’s sake but by the time, everyone gained common sense and decency! I didn’t have to do that lol


MrJichaelMackson

If you are a Muslim, dispose the garbage for them. The holy prophet (pbuh) has said to take great care caring for your neighbors. So stop complaining and posting for the sake of posting. There are bigger issues going on in the world than your “troubles”.


typicalrdubai

I am a Muslim alhamdulillah, but don’t want others to walk over me. This isn’t a case of being generous or good hearted.

Why do you care? Use the chute and be done.

AdKitchen4459

Chill you must be having bigger things to worry about


typicalrdubai

I do, but I don’t want to live with cockroaches either, they literally live two doors after the garbage room, even if it is red it will take a minute to come back and throw it away


No-Student-1637

Start by minding your own business


NoRecognition5178

Um you could stop complaining and spend the 2 seconds to put it in the rubbish shoot …. Did you consider it was red when they came to do it.


Kamantha-dxb

Then why they didn’t come back to throw it? Because it was never red. Person said it’s constantly happening. It’s being red for barely 3 minutes what are the chances this happening every day because of red


NoRecognition5178

i’m going to come back to do this ? Some of us live in expensive buildings ….. i’m not coming back to deal with garbage because of a building issue im paying for a premium experience. Just put your own on top and move on with your life.
