Rubbermaid Slim Jim Step-On Pedal Bin Grey 50Ltr

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim step-on bin is a hands-free waste container designed for commercial kitchens, service corridors, and front-of-house areas where hygiene and space efficiency both matter. The front-step pedal allows staff to open the lid without making contact with the bin at any point during service — a straightforward but meaningful contribution to cross-contamination control.

The lid operates on a soft-closing damper rather than snapping shut. A slamming lid creates a sudden displacement of air that can carry contaminants out of the container and into the surrounding environment. The damper eliminates that risk and reduces noise during busy service periods, which is a practical consideration in any working kitchen.

The Slim Jim profile is notably narrow relative to its 50-litre capacity, making it easier to position in tight runs or beside prep stations without obstructing staff movement. The polyethylene construction and smooth, contoured surfaces clean down quickly and hold up well against the knocks and scuffs typical of a commercial environment.

• Hands-free pedal operation removes a contact point during food prep and service
• Soft-close damper limits air dispersal and reduces noise on closing
• Slim footprint fits tight spaces without sacrificing usable capacity
• Smooth polyethylene surfaces wipe down quickly and resist staining
• Robust enough for regular daily use in a busy commercial environment

This bin is well suited to prep kitchens, service corridors, and front-of-house settings where a mid-capacity, hygiene-conscious solution is needed without a large floor footprint. For higher-volume applications or sites requiring larger capacity, other options in the Slim Jim range are worth considering.

If you are specifying waste management across multiple stations or working towards a HACCP-compliant setup, the team is happy to help you think through bin placement and capacity requirements.
