I threw a bag of rotting potatoes down my apartment's garbage chute. Do I need to worry about harmful gasses from the potatoes filling up our disposal room?

It depends on the features installed in your Garbage Chute. It is evident that rotten potatoes or any other rotten organic waste may generate harmful gases. To tackle these additional features are provided in garbage chutes like automatic exhaust system , odour control unit and proper disinfectant and sanitisation unit . These features clean up garbage chutes and also remove any foul gases generated in the system. These rotten vegetables can then be treated in Organic Waste Composter to generate high quality organic compost.
