  why....? the crashing and smashing sound is so irritating & loud. isnt there a better way to dispose of those glass bottles instead of directly throwing them down the rubbish chutes in HDB flats?

  Ooh, I can imagine, coz now I'm living on the 33rd floor and I just love standing at the chute and hear the pink pink piang piang sound as I chuck it down and it reaches terminal velocity.

  Imagine hanging clothes to dry and have someone kill you with a flying bottle from the top of the building.

  If I lived on the 20th floor, and you lived on the 3rd, I've never bumped into you for the whole 15years although we've been living in the same block. Would you still count me as your neighbour?

  well they have no choice. Its a rubbish n have to dump it into the correct n appropriate place n tat is the easily available rubbish chute. Maybe next time can improvise the rubbish chut by covering the metal part with rubber to minimise n lower the noise level.

  dun seem so.. the glass bottles hitting against the metal rubbish chutes produces the loudest sound. i was thinking if ppl could hav put their glass bottles in the middle of their rubbish, tie it up n then throw it down. tat way the impact is cushioned
