The Chute Magnetic Flatware Catchers in Toronto & Canada

The Chute is a line of magnetic flatware catchers made by Golden West Sales, a foodservice supplier that also makes Tough Guy tote boxes. Each Chute is a high impact plastic lid that sits on a garbage bin and catches flatware before it gets thrown out, so fewer forks and knives go missing. Why choose The Chute over a flatware retriever like the San Jamar KatchAll? The Chute is made from heat and chemical resistant material and it's dishwasher safe, so it's easy to keep clean between shifts. For warranty coverage on The Chute lids, please contact us to confirm the current terms. One standout is The Chute II Magnetic Flatware Catcher Lid. Its strong, long lasting magnets hold flatware until your staff remove it, and it fits most 32 and 44 gallon waste containers. For slim bins, we also carry The Chute Jr. Magnetic Flatware Catcher Lid for 23 gallon rectangular containers. Both work with magnetic flatware only and are typically special order with an estimated lead time of 1-5 days. Phoenix Food Equipment ships The Chute from Vaughan across Toronto, the GTA, and the rest of Canada. For USA orders, please contact us to confirm availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

How does The Chute magnetic flatware catcher work?

The Chute sits on top of your garbage bin like a lid. When staff scrape plates into the opening, strong, long lasting magnets catch the flatware and hold it securely until someone removes it, so forks, knives, and spoons don't end up in the trash. The lid is made from high impact plastic that's heat and chemical resistant and dishwasher safe. It only works with magnetic utensils, so it's worth testing your flatware with a magnet first. If you have questions, contact us and we'll help.

Which The Chute lid fits my garbage bin?

The Chute Jr. fits most 23 gallon rectangular waste containers, including slim bins, and The Chute II fits most 32 and 44 gallon waste containers. Both lids use the same magnetic design and work with magnetic flatware only. Since bin openings can vary between makers, measure the top of your container before you order. If you're not sure which size fits, contact us with your bin's make and size and we'll help you choose.
