Examine the trash chute and make sure there are no obstructions. You should go floor by floor to determine that there are no blockages; several apartment and co-op managers who spoke with Cooperator.com have had experience with residents sending bulky items like furniture down trash chutes.

If the way is clear, a chemical wash is sprayed on the sides of the chute to loosen the collected gunk. Most professionals use a biodegradable enzyme spray to begin the cleaning process. This enzyme not only will loosen stuck-on garbage, it will break it down into smaller components for easier removal.

Professional cleaners say you should begin at the top floor and work your way down.

That sounds great but make sure it's a type "A" Watertight not type "B" being non-watertight.
