Product Description
The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a 50-litre step-on waste bin designed specifically to fit into narrow or restricted spaces without reducing usable capacity. Its defining feature is a reduced depth profile — at 343mm deep it sits noticeably shallower than a conventional round or square bin of equivalent volume, making it a practical choice wherever floor space is at a premium.
In a working kitchen environment, the front-mounted foot pedal is a small but worthwhile detail. It is recessed into the body of the bin, which keeps it out of the way of passing staff and helps prevent trip hazards in busy service areas. The pedal opening is sized to accommodate safety footwear and clogs — a practical consideration in most professional kitchen settings where lightweight trainers are not the norm.
The polyethylene construction is straightforward to clean and resists the knocks and impacts that come with daily kitchen use. The white finish makes soiling visible quickly, which supports hygiene routines.
- Slim footprint fits against walls, under counters, or into galley-style runs
- Front pedal operation keeps the bin hygienic and hands-free during service
- Recessed pedal reduces trip risk in high-traffic areas
- Smooth interior surfaces wipe down quickly at the end of service
- Suitable for waste stations, prep areas, pass areas, and back-of-house corridors
This bin is well suited to kitchens where space is genuinely tight — smaller restaurant kitchens, café back-of-house areas, and service counters where a full-depth bin simply will not fit. For higher-volume sites generating significantly more waste, a larger-capacity model may be worth considering.
If you are fitting out a waste management area and are unsure whether this size and format is the right choice for your workflow, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For a single waste point in a small to medium kitchen — a prep station, pass area, or café back-of-house — 50 litres is generally sufficient for a full service with regular liner changes. Higher-volume kitchens or those generating significant food waste may find they need to empty this bin more frequently than is practical, in which case a larger-capacity unit would be a better fit.
- The reduced depth makes this bin noticeably shallower than a conventional bin of the same volume, which is the point — it is designed to sit against a wall or within a tight run without protruding into the work area. The trade-off is that it is a longer, narrower opening rather than a wide square aperture, which is worth considering if staff are disposing of large or bulky items regularly.
- The hands-free foot pedal operation and smooth polyethylene interior are consistent with good hygiene practice in a HACCP-managed kitchen. The white finish makes contamination visible quickly, which supports scheduled cleaning checks. It does not carry a specific HACCP certification, so if your audit requires documented compliance for waste handling equipment, it is worth checking with your environmental health adviser.
