I would run it by the AHJ, personally if it's a straight shot down to the garbage room, I don't see a need for any other sprinkler heads, however there is a chance that debris could get hung up on the shaft itself depending on the interior construction, if smooth then no spkrs if sheet metal protrudes then every other level, and they'd have to fab a cover so trash doesn't get hung up on the sprinkler head.
