Rubbermaid Slim Jim Step-On Pedal Bin Grey 68Ltr

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim step-on pedal bin is a hands-free waste container designed for commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, and front-of-house service spaces. The front-step pedal operates the lid without hand contact — a straightforward detail, but a meaningful one in environments where food hygiene and cross-contamination control are closely managed.

The soft-closing damper is worth noting for busy kitchen use. Rather than allowing the lid to drop freely — which creates a brief rush of air near the bin opening — the damper brings it down in a controlled, quiet motion. In areas where hygiene standards are actively monitored, this is a practical rather than cosmetic feature.

The Slim Jim profile is narrower than a conventional round bin of equivalent capacity, making it easier to position in galley runs, beside prep stations, or in service corridors where floor space is limited. Polyethylene construction and smooth, contoured surfaces keep cleaning straightforward, with no unnecessary recesses to trap debris or harbour bacteria.

• Front-step pedal allows completely hands-free lid operation
• Soft-close damper prevents air displacement when the lid closes
• Narrow footprint fits tight spaces without reducing capacity
• Smooth polyethylene surfaces clean down quickly and reliably
• 68-litre capacity handles regular service periods without constant emptying

This bin suits kitchen prep areas, pass stations, front-of-house counters, and back-of-house utility spaces where hygiene and space efficiency both matter. For higher-traffic locations or larger operations, a higher-capacity model in the same range may be a better fit.

If you are specifying waste management across multiple stations or are unsure which size and quantity suits your operation, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
