Is it normal to throw glass bottles down a building trash chute?

I am supposed to tie my garbage bags up so that garbage doesn't fall out when I throw the bags down the trash chute in my building. I live on the 15th floor, so anything I throw down the trash chute is moving pretty quickly by the time it lands in the dumpster or whatever is at the bottom below the trash chute.

I sometimes throw broken electronics down the trash chute, such as an old wall clock or old VCR last week that had stopped working. I thought it was funny when I heard the VCR clanging against the wall on its way down to the bottom.

My favorite thing to throw is beer bottles. I had around 10 glass beer bottles (Corona) that had been sitting in my refrigerator for about two years and were beyond their expiration dates. So I took the full glass beer bottles and fired them one at a time down the trash chute. The first couple landed at the bottom without breaking, as far as I could tell. However, the other ones landed on glass bottles already at the bottom and I heard them break.

I don't know whether this practice creates a mess at the bottom of the trash chute or whether broken glass shatters all over the place. I figure that all of the glass is confined to a dumpster, but it some glass does land on the ground someone else will clean it up.

Is this normal behavior?

    Glass is better off being recycled... The messes you've be making are highly inconsiderate for whoever has to clean them up!

    I'm just amused that you specified that they were Corona bottles.

  • I don't like inconsiderate people like you.
    And, no, you are not normal.

    Is it fun? I'm sure it is. Should you do it? Probably not, that's a huge mess for someone to clean up. Is is normal? Absolutely. You're one of the many lazy people that exist in this world.
