Nah, they were where I live. Now they are closed due to sanitary concerns or something. In old, post soviet building I lived they removed chutes and turned bottom level (where the big trash containers were) into expanded lift, so disabled people could ride all the way to ground level.
I think they have collection centres (within the building), chutes were more of an American thing (“don’t think about the trash” mentality).

Definitely not just an American thing.
