Sounds like hell. So sorry that happened to you. When you look at the video of her staggering on 28th does she look drunk or roofie? I'm concerned she was drugged at the party.
An apartment chute is primarily used to dispose of the garbage in a sanitary way in high-rise and mid-rise buildings. You only need to open the door of the chute on your floor. Put the trash inside, and close the door. The garbage goes directly to the central waste location, such as a dumpster or a compactor.
Trash chutes are usually made of galvanized steel, stainless steel, or aluminized steel. You can find a door to intake garbage on every floor. There are chute support frames made from steel and bar stock on each floor.
The diameter of garbage chutes can be 20-36 inches. The discharge door is at the bottom of the tube connected with the compactor or dumpster.
This is why I have a hard time believing she fell into one as stated in my post above:

Apartment Trash Chute by Compactor Management Company
The apartment trash chute is vital for hygiene. Here's a guide on its working, maintenance, and the kind of waste that can be thrown in a chute.www.norcalcompactors.net
Honestly, it's hard to tell, but she definitely doesn't look sober ): She could very well have had a lot to drink in a short period of time - work parties often have time limits on the open bar - and it caught up with her as she was leaving.
Super good info. That makes sense. Thanks.

How is trash from +Art collected from the compactor and taken away? Looks like manually. From a quote from the same link which shows her on video (BBM):

DSNY (City of New York Department of Sanitation) collection schedule for the address:
I'd be very surprised if a building that's less than 15 years old and with nearly 100 units had no way to bring the trash out except through the front door. Hard to tell, but looking at the facade on Google Street View, the service entrance could be the glass door that on the right (circled in red).In this part of Manhattan, there are very few alleys or back entrances to buildings, and the building she was found in does not appear to have any service or maintenance entrance - it's touching other buildings on all sides.
I believe what was said was that the building has no garage. It almost certainly has a basement.
There is a commercial unit on the main floor of the building, so I assume the circled red door is the commercial unit. It was an art gallery at some point.
To me it looks like the storefront entrance on the building's right side is the door I've circled in blue.
Good point. And it's November and not warm in the night-time hours. jmo
