Rubbermaid Slim Jim Step-On Bin Front Pedal 68Ltr White

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a front-pedal step-on waste bin designed specifically for environments where floor space is limited and hands-free operation is a practical necessity. The 68-litre capacity sits in a notably narrow footprint, making it a sensible choice for back-of-house corridors, prep areas, front-of-house service stations, and healthcare settings where standard round bins tend to obstruct movement.

In busy service environments, the recessed front pedal is one of the more considered details on this bin. It sits flush with the body rather than projecting outward, which reduces the trip risk in tight spaces and means the bin can sit closer to a wall or unit than a conventional pedal bin. The pedal opening has also been sized to accommodate safety footwear and clogs — a practical point that matters in commercial kitchens and care settings where such footwear is standard.

Key practical advantages include:

• Slim profile fits into spaces where round or square bins cannot
• Recessed pedal reduces obstruction in high-footfall areas
• Hands-free operation supports hygiene compliance
• White finish suits front-of-house and clinical environments
• Polyethylene construction is straightforward to wipe down and sanitise

There are no installation requirements — the bin is freestanding and requires no fixing or utilities. It is worth noting that at 68 litres, this is well suited to moderate-volume waste points. High-throughput kitchens generating significant waste during service may find they need multiple units or a higher-capacity alternative to avoid frequent emptying during a shift.

This bin is a practical fit for hotel serveries, care homes, hospital catering departments, and smaller commercial kitchens where a presentable, space-efficient waste solution is needed. If you are fitting out a number of waste points or need guidance on bin placement and quantity for a specific site, the team is happy to help you think it through.
