Rubbermaid Slim Jim Three Stream Recycling Station 3x 87Ltr

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Three Stream Recycling Station provides a compact, self-contained waste segregation solution covering three streams: general waste, food waste, and mixed recycling. Each of the three containers holds 87 litres, giving a meaningful combined capacity without the footprint of three standalone bins. The station is constructed from polyethylene, which handles the knocks and moisture typical of a working kitchen environment.

In practice, having all three streams in a single unit reduces the time staff spend moving between separate bins during service and makes correct waste sorting more consistent. The slim profile of the Slim Jim design means the station can be positioned in corridors, service areas, or back-of-house spaces where a wider unit would obstruct movement. The vented channels built into each container make liner removal noticeably easier — a small detail that adds up during busy shifts when bins need changing quickly.

Key practical points for operators:

• Three clearly labelled streams in one footprint — supports waste compliance without cluttering the space
• Slim Jim profile fits tighter back-of-house layouts and service corridors
• Vented channels reduce liner drag and speed up bin changes during service
• Polyethylene construction resists moisture, cleaning chemicals, and everyday impact
• Suitable for both front-of-house recycling points and back-of-house kitchen areas

No utilities or installation work are required — the station is free-standing and ready to position as needed. The main practical consideration is floor space: at just over 900mm wide, it needs a clear, accessible run to allow staff to swap liners and empty containers without obstruction. It is not fixed to the floor, so on very busy sites it is worth positioning it against a wall or in a defined waste zone to keep it stable and in place.

This station is well suited to cafés, restaurants, workplace canteens, schools, and similar food-service operations where segregating waste at point of generation is important for compliance or sustainability targets. For very high-footfall sites generating significantly more waste volume, a larger-capacity or multi-unit arrangement may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this configuration covers your waste streams or fits your layout, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
