Rubbermaid Slim Jim Bins

Rubbermaid Slim Jim Bins are slim-profile commercial waste containers designed to maximise capacity while saving valuable floor and under-counter space. This range includes under-counter bins, front step-on pedal bins and larger utility containers for busy back-of-house and public areas. Ideal for restaurants, cafes, hotels, canteens and facilities management, they support clean, efficient waste segregation and disposal. Durable construction and professional styling help maintain hygiene standards and a tidy appearance in any commercial environment.

• Space-saving Slim Jim profiles that fit neatly beside prep tables, under counters and in tight corridors.
• Front step-on pedal bins for hands-free operation, improving hygiene in food preparation and wash-up areas.
• Capacities from compact 30L units to large 90L and 121L containers for high-traffic waste points.
• Robust polypropylene and stainless steel bodies for long-lasting performance in demanding sites.
• Options including fire-retardant models and colour-coded lids to support safety and waste segregation.
• Compatible with mobility accessories such as dollies and trolleys for easy movement and collection.

How to choose the right Rubbermaid Slim Jim Bins

• Match bin capacity to your waste volume, choosing smaller 30L units for tight spaces and larger 68L or 90L models for main collection points.
• Decide between under-counter, freestanding or corridor placement to ensure the bin fits your kitchen or front-of-house layout.
• Choose between polypropylene or stainless steel finishes depending on required durability, appearance and cleaning regime.
• Select pedal-operated lids for food prep and wash areas where hands-free operation and hygiene are critical.
• Use different colours or clearly marked lids to support recycling streams and staff waste segregation procedures.
• Consider adding dollies or trolleys if bins need to be moved frequently between service areas and refuse stores.

Care and maintenance

• Empty bins regularly and rinse out liners or interiors to prevent odours and pest issues in busy hospitality environments.
• Clean internal and external surfaces with appropriate non-abrasive detergents to protect polypropylene and stainless steel finishes.
• Disinfect high-touch areas such as pedal mechanisms and lid handles as part of your daily cleaning schedule.
• Inspect pedals, hinges and wheels for wear, tightening fixings and replacing components where necessary.
• Avoid harsh scouring pads or chlorine-heavy products on stainless steel models to prevent staining and corrosion.
• Store spare bins and lids in a dry, ventilated area to keep them clean and ready for peak service periods.
