Product Description
The Rubbermaid Step-On Pedal Bin is a hands-free waste bin operated by a foot pedal, designed for continuous use in commercial kitchen and food service environments. At 68 litres, it sits in the larger end of the step-on range and is well suited to busy service areas where waste accumulates quickly and frequent emptying is disruptive.
The tight-fitting lid helps contain food odours between empties, which matters in kitchens where waste bins are positioned close to prep areas. The foot pedal mechanism keeps hands free and reduces cross-contamination risk, making it a practical fit for HACCP-conscious operations. The moulded polyethylene construction is straightforward to wipe down and resistant to the knocks and moisture typical of a working kitchen environment.
The red colouring makes this bin a natural choice for kitchens operating a colour-coded waste or hygiene system, helping staff identify the correct bin quickly during a busy service.
- Hands-free operation reduces cross-contamination risk at point of disposal
- Tight-fitting lid contains odours between waste collections
- Red finish supports colour-coded waste management systems
- Polyethylene body withstands daily commercial kitchen use
- 68-litre capacity reduces the frequency of emptying during service
It is worth considering where the bin will be positioned — the footprint is reasonably substantial, so it suits back-of-house areas with adequate floor space rather than confined prep corners. For very high-output kitchens generating large volumes of waste rapidly, a larger bin or multiple units may be a more practical solution.
If you are putting together a colour-coded system across several areas or are unsure which capacity suits your workflow, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For most mid-sized commercial kitchens, 68 litres provides a practical balance between capacity and manageability — it is large enough to last through a busy service without constant emptying, but not so large that it becomes unwieldy when full. Very high-output operations, such as large production kitchens or high-cover restaurants, may find they need multiple units or a larger capacity bin to maintain workflow.
- Red is a commonly used colour in HACCP-based colour-coding schemes, often designated for raw meat waste or specific waste streams depending on the kitchen's own protocol. Using a colour-matched bin helps staff identify the correct disposal point quickly, reducing the risk of cross-contamination errors during a busy service. It is worth confirming your own colour-coding policy before ordering to ensure the bin aligns with your existing system.
- The Step-On design works well in back-of-house environments — prep areas, wash-up zones, and storage corridors — where durability and hygiene function take priority over appearance. For customer-facing areas, the utilitarian polyethylene finish may not suit all settings, and a more discreet waste solution might be worth considering instead.
