Slim Jim

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a 49-litre under-counter waste bin designed specifically with tight kitchen spaces in mind. Its slimline footprint allows it to sit neatly beneath counters or in narrow service areas where a standard round bin simply wouldn't fit, making it a practical choice for kitchens where floor space is at a premium.

In a busy kitchen environment, waste handling needs to be quick and unobtrusive. The large angled opening makes it straightforward to dispose of waste without breaking stride during service, and the integrated bag cinches hold liners securely in place so that emptying is clean and efficient. Rim and base handles make it manageable to lift and carry even when full.

The polyethylene construction is well suited to commercial use — resistant to impact, chemical cleaning agents and liquid damage, and easy to wipe down or disinfect as part of routine hygiene procedures. The reinforced rim adds durability under the daily wear of a working kitchen. Integrated venting channels help prevent the vacuum effect that can make liner removal awkward.

Practical operational advantages include:

• Grey colour supports colour-coded waste segregation systems
• Slim profile fits under standard counter heights without modification
• Bag cinches prevent liner slippage during busy service
• Chemical-resistant construction survives regular deep cleaning
• Lightweight at 3.1kg, easy to reposition or carry to disposal points

This bin is well suited to back-of-house prep areas, service counters and front-of-house waste stations where a low-profile, hygienic solution is needed. For sites running high-volume waste streams or requiring a larger capacity, a bigger-format bin from the same range may be a more appropriate fit.

If you're setting up a colour-coded waste system across a site or fitting out multiple stations, we're happy to talk through what works in practice.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Step-On is a pedal-operated waste container designed for commercial kitchens where hygiene, space efficiency, and high-frequency use are everyday requirements. The red colouring makes it well suited to colour-coded waste management systems, helping staff identify the correct bin quickly and supporting HACCP-compliant kitchen layouts.

The narrow footprint is one of its more practical attributes. In tight galley kitchens or busy service areas where floor space is at a premium, the slender profile allows the bin to sit against a wall or beside a workstation without obstructing traffic. Despite the compact width, the 68-litre capacity handles a solid volume of waste before requiring emptying during a busy service.

The foot pedal keeps hands free and away from the lid, which matters in any food preparation environment where cross-contamination risk needs to be managed. The one-piece resin construction avoids the crevices and joints that accumulate debris on lesser bins, and the smooth interior makes liner changes and periodic cleaning straightforward.

• Foot-pedal operation keeps hands away from waste during food prep
• Red colour supports HACCP colour-coded waste separation
• Slim profile suits space-restricted service and prep areas
• Durable resin construction withstands daily commercial use
• 68-litre capacity reduces emptying frequency during service

This bin is a practical choice for kitchens of most sizes, from small cafés through to larger restaurant prep areas. For very high-volume sites generating significant waste, larger-capacity alternatives are available in the same range. If you are specifying bins across multiple stations or need guidance on colour-coding for your setup, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Step-On is a 30-litre pedal-operated waste bin designed for commercial use. Its narrow-profile resin body is built to fit into tight spaces — alongside prep stations, behind service counters, or in front-of-house areas where a standard round bin would obstruct workflow. The front-mounted foot pedal allows hands-free lid operation, which is a basic but important hygiene requirement in any food-handling environment.

In busy kitchen environments, bin placement is often an afterthought until it becomes a problem. The Slim Jim's slim footprint means it can sit flush against a wall or unit without projecting into a gangway, which matters when space between workstations is limited. The pedal mechanism on this model is designed for repeated use under commercial conditions, and the resin construction resists the knocks and cleaning chemicals typical of a working kitchen.

Practical advantages for kitchen and front-of-house operators include:

• Hands-free lid operation supports food-safe waste disposal without contact
• Slim profile fits into spaces where standard bins cannot
• Red colour coding supports waste segregation or hazard-area identification
• Silent lid closure reduces noise — useful in customer-facing areas
• Resin body is straightforward to wipe down and withstands routine cleaning

There are no installation requirements — this is a freestanding unit. Bear in mind that at 30 litres, it suits moderate waste volumes. For high-turnover kitchens or areas generating significant waste during a single service, a larger-capacity unit would be worth considering. This size tends to work well in prep areas, smaller kitchens, or as a secondary bin alongside a larger main container.

The Slim Jim Step-On is well suited to cafés, smaller restaurant kitchens, hotel serveries, and front-of-house areas where both space and hygiene are priorities. If you are fitting out multiple stations or need advice on colour-coding waste streams, we are happy to talk it through.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a well-established waste container used widely across commercial kitchens, dining areas, retail environments, and back-of-house operations. This 87-litre brown version is made from polyethylene and features four integrated venting channels running the length of the container. These channels break the vacuum seal that forms between a full bin bag and the container wall — a small design detail that makes a practical difference when staff are clearing waste during or after a busy service.

In high-volume environments, bin bags are changed frequently and often under time pressure. Without venting, lifting a full bag can require considerable effort and creates a real risk of awkward straining. The venting channels allow air to flow freely, so bags lift out cleanly without resistance. Combined with the handles positioned at both the base and the rim, the container is straightforward to manoeuvre even when full.

The Slim Jim format is notably narrower than a standard round bin, which makes it well suited to tight service corridors, beside prep stations, or in front-of-house positions where space is limited without sacrificing useful capacity. Key practical points include:

• Venting channels eliminate vacuum resistance for cleaner, safer bag removal
• Handles at base and rim improve control when lifting and repositioning
• Slim profile fits into spaces where a standard bin would not
• Compatible with colour-coded lids and stickers sold separately for waste segregation
• Brown colour suits general waste or organic stream identification

This container works particularly well as part of a structured waste segregation system. Paired with the appropriate lids and identification stickers — available separately — multiple units can be configured into a colour-coded recycling station covering general waste, food waste, paper, cans, and plastics. This supports compliance with waste separation requirements that are increasingly relevant across hospitality and food service operations.

For very high-footfall locations generating significant waste volume throughout the day, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity container or a lidded variant would be more appropriate. If you are setting up a waste station across multiple positions or want guidance on which configuration suits your operation, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Step-On Container is a hands-free waste bin designed with a narrow footprint to fit into the confined spaces common in commercial kitchens — alongside prep stations, under counters, or in service corridors where a standard round bin simply won't fit. The front-facing pedal keeps it accessible even when the bin is positioned against a wall or tucked into a corner.

In a working kitchen, the practical advantage of this design becomes clear quickly. Staff can dispose of waste without touching the lid, which matters during food prep and service when cross-contamination risk needs to be managed. The lid closes quietly when the pedal is released, which is a small but worthwhile consideration in customer-facing environments or open-plan layouts where noise accumulates.

Key operational features worth noting:

• Front-pedal operation allows wall-flush placement without sacrificing access
• Silent-close lid reduces noise during busy service periods
• Slim profile fits into gaps where standard bins cannot
• Resin construction resists moisture and is straightforward to clean down
• Hands-free lid operation supports hygiene discipline during food handling

At 90 litres, this bin suits moderate-volume kitchens — a café, small restaurant, or food prep area with regular waste turnover. It is not a high-capacity container for large production kitchens generating significant waste volumes; in those environments, a larger or more heavy-duty receptacle would be more appropriate.

If you are equipping multiple stations or working out the right waste management layout for your kitchen, we are happy to talk through what works best for your setup.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a front-pedal step-on waste bin designed for environments where floor space is tight and hands-free operation is a practical requirement. The 68-litre capacity sits in a narrow rectangular footprint, making it a sensible choice for back-of-house corridors, prep areas, front-of-house service stations, and healthcare catering settings where a standard round bin would obstruct movement or look out of place.

In busy service environments, the recessed front pedal is one of the more considered details on this bin. Rather than projecting outward from the base, it sits flush with the body — reducing trip risk in high-footfall areas and allowing the bin to sit closer to a wall or unit than a conventional pedal bin. The pedal opening is also sized to accommodate safety footwear and clogs, which matters in commercial kitchens and care environments where such footwear is the norm.

• Slim profile fits into spaces where round or square bins cannot
• Recessed pedal reduces obstruction and trip hazard in tight corridors
• Hands-free operation supports hygiene compliance in food and clinical areas
• White finish suits front-of-house, clinical, and servery environments
• Polyethylene construction wipes down and sanitises easily

There are no installation requirements — the bin is freestanding and needs no fixings or utilities. It is worth being realistic about volume: at 68 litres, this bin suits moderate-output waste points well. High-throughput kitchens producing significant waste during a shift may find they need multiple units positioned across the kitchen, or a higher-capacity bin elsewhere in the range, to avoid frequent emptying during service.

This bin fits well in hotel serveries, care homes, hospital catering departments, school kitchens, and smaller commercial operations where a presentable, space-efficient waste point is needed. If you are planning waste management across a number of stations or sites, the team is happy to talk through the right quantity and placement for your operation.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a narrow-profile, rigid polyethylene waste bin designed for commercial environments where floor space is limited but waste volumes are still significant. The venting channels running down the interior walls allow air to enter beneath the bin liner, releasing the vacuum that typically makes liner removal awkward — a small detail that has a noticeable effect during a busy service when bins need turning over quickly.

In practical kitchen and front-of-house use, the reinforced rim resists the kind of incidental crushing that tends to shorten the life of lighter-duty bins — whether that's a foot knocking it under a pass or a trolley catching it in a corridor. The polyethylene construction holds up well to repeated cleaning and is unaffected by the food waste and cleaning chemicals it will routinely come into contact with.

• Narrow footprint suits tight service corridors, back-of-house runs, and bar areas
• Venting channels allow fast, clean liner removal without wrestling the bag free
• Reinforced rim prevents deformation under incidental impact
• Blue colouring supports colour-coded waste segregation systems
• Suitable for both internal and external use

It is worth noting that at 60 litres this bin suits moderate waste output — it works well as a positioned bin at a prep station or behind a bar, but high-volume sections generating large quantities of wet waste may need more frequent emptying or a higher-capacity unit. It is not designed for outdoor wheelie-bin replacement.

This bin is a practical choice for restaurants, cafés, hotel back-of-house areas, and any site running a colour-coded waste or recycling system. If you are kitting out a full site or need guidance on matching bin sizes to waste output by station, the team are happy to help you work through the options.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Step-On Bin is a hands-free waste container built for commercial environments where floor space is limited but waste volumes are not. A front-foot pedal keeps the lid closed between uses, which helps contain odours and reduces the risk of airborne contamination — a straightforward but meaningful advantage in any food-handling area. The yellow body supports structured colour-coded waste segregation programmes, making it easy to allocate specific bins to specific waste streams across a site without ambiguity.

The 90-litre capacity is large enough to reduce the frequency of liner changes during a busy shift, which matters when staff time is in short supply. The slim footprint is what sets this bin apart from wider round containers — it sits comfortably in galley runs, service corridors, and back-of-house areas where a standard bin simply will not fit without causing an obstruction.

• Hands-free lid operation reduces cross-contamination risk during food preparation
• Yellow colour coding supports a structured, site-wide waste segregation system
• Slim profile fits service corridors and galley kitchens where floor space is tight
• Polyethylene construction withstands routine cleaning with commercial chemical cleaners
• Internally mounted hinge prevents wall or surface damage in confined spaces

No installation is required — the bin is freestanding and can be repositioned as your workflow demands. One practical note: confirm that standard 90-litre bin liners are available before ordering in quantity, as ill-fitting liners tend to drop during service. For sites generating waste at high pace across multiple stations simultaneously, a larger or more heavy-duty container may be worth considering.

This bin is well suited to commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, front-of-house service points, hospitality venues, and healthcare catering environments where colour-coded waste management is a requirement. If you are setting up a wider segregation system or sourcing across multiple locations, we are happy to talk through what will work best for your operation.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Four Stream Recycling Station brings together four separate 87-litre waste streams into a single, organised unit. It covers general waste, food waste, mixed recycling, and paper and card — the four streams most commonly required under commercial waste segregation obligations in the UK. Each container slots into the shared frame independently, keeping streams clearly separated without taking up the floor space that four individual bins would require.

In busy back-of-house environments, consistent waste segregation often breaks down under pressure. This station is designed to make correct sorting the path of least resistance — the streams are clearly labelled and colour-coded, so staff make the right choice quickly even during peak service. The polyethylene construction handles daily commercial use well, resisting impact and the cleaning chemicals typically used in professional kitchens. The Slim Jim profile keeps the footprint narrow, which matters in service corridors and prep areas where space is rarely generous.

• Four clearly labelled, colour-coded streams in one compact station
• Slim profile fits service corridors and back-of-house areas without obstruction
• Vented channels make liner removal significantly easier during changeovers
• Robust polyethylene construction stands up to daily commercial use
• Suitable for front-of-house placement where a tidy appearance matters

Installation is straightforward — this is a freestanding unit with no electrical, water, or drainage connections required. It does occupy a reasonable floor footprint at just over 1.2 metres wide, so it is worth measuring the intended location before ordering, particularly in tighter kitchen layouts. It works well in canteens, staff restaurants, school kitchens, and workplace facilities where volume is moderate and segregation compliance is a priority. For very high-footfall sites generating significantly larger waste volumes, a higher-capacity arrangement may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this station suits your site layout or waste volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a 60-litre polyethylene waste container designed for regular use in commercial kitchens, dining areas, and back-of-house environments. Its slim, rectangular profile is one of its most practical attributes — it fits neatly into spaces where a standard round bin would be awkward, making it a sensible choice for busy service areas where floor space is tight.

Four integrated venting channels run the height of the container, allowing air to circulate between the bin liner and the inner wall. This simple but effective design reduces the vacuum seal that forms when staff try to lift a full bin bag — a common cause of split liners and unnecessary strain. In a high-turnover kitchen environment where bins are emptied frequently throughout service, that reduction in resistance is a practical daily benefit.

Key practical features include:

• Venting channels reduce vacuum effect, making liner removal noticeably easier
• Handles positioned at the base and rim for secure, two-point lifting
• Compatible with colour-coded lids and waste-stream stickers, sold separately
• Polyethylene construction is robust, easy to clean, and resistant to common kitchen chemicals
• Slim footprint suits corridor runs, pass areas, and compact back-of-house layouts

The brown colour coding makes this container well suited to general waste or food waste streams, particularly where a site is working towards a structured colour-coded recycling system. Pairing it with the appropriate lids and labelling stickers allows operators to build a consistent waste segregation station without significant outlay.

This size works well in medium-volume kitchens and dining areas. For larger sites generating higher volumes of waste across a shift, it is worth considering a higher-capacity option to reduce the frequency of emptying during service.

If you are setting up a waste management system across multiple areas or want guidance on which container sizes and lid configurations suit your operation, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Step-On is a 30-litre hands-free waste bin with a front-facing foot pedal and a narrow rectangular footprint. It is part of the Slim Jim range, which is specifically designed to fit into spaces where a standard round bin cannot — service corridors, workstation gaps, and tight back-of-house areas where floor space is at a premium.

In day-to-day kitchen and front-of-house use, the foot pedal allows staff to dispose of waste without breaking a task or making hand contact with the bin, which supports basic hygiene discipline during service. The lid closes quietly, which makes this bin a sensible choice for dining rooms, reception areas, or any noise-sensitive space where a clattering bin lid would be noticeable. The yellow colour coding is useful where operators are running a segregated waste system and need to differentiate streams at a glance.

• Front foot pedal allows fully hands-free lid operation during service
• Slim rectangular profile fits corridors and workstation gaps
• Quiet-close lid suited to front-of-house and noise-sensitive areas
• Yellow colour supports colour-coded waste segregation systems
• Polyethylene construction wipes down easily and withstands everyday knocks

There are no installation requirements. The bin is freestanding, needs no fixings or utilities, and can be repositioned freely. At 30 litres it is well matched to individual workstations, service counters, or secondary waste points. In a high-output kitchen section generating significant waste volumes, it is better used as a supplementary bin alongside a larger primary receptacle rather than the sole collection point for a whole area.

This bin suits cafés, small restaurants, hospitality front-of-house, healthcare catering, and office kitchen environments. Where a higher-capacity or more heavy-duty bin is needed for a main kitchen waste station, other options in the range may be a better fit.

If you are planning a waste management setup across a site and want to talk through which bin sizes and types suit each area, the team is glad to help.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Two Stream Recycling Station is a dual-compartment waste unit designed to keep general waste and food waste separated at the point of disposal. Built from durable polyethylene, it houses two 87-litre containers within a single slim-profile frame, making it a practical choice where space is limited but segregated waste collection is required.

In busy kitchen and food service environments, waste separation at source is increasingly important — both for compliance with food waste regulations and for keeping back-of-house operations orderly during service. The Slim Jim's narrow footprint means it can sit comfortably along a wall or in a corridor without obstructing workflow, while the vented channels built into the container design make bin liner removal considerably easier during changeovers — a small detail that adds up over the course of a busy service.

Key practical advantages include:

• Slim profile fits into tight back-of-house spaces without blocking circulation
• Vented channels make liner removal easier and faster during busy service
• Clear stream labelling reduces incorrect disposal by kitchen staff
• Polyethylene construction is robust, easy to wipe down, and resistant to daily knocks
• Suitable for both back-of-house kitchen use and front-of-house public areas

There are no special installation requirements — the unit is freestanding and requires no fixings, drainage, or utilities. At under 9kg unloaded, it can be repositioned easily during deep cleans or when kitchen layouts change. The combined footprint is worth checking against your available floor space before ordering, particularly in smaller prep areas.

This station suits catering operations that need a straightforward, compliant two-stream waste solution — from school kitchens and care homes through to restaurant back-of-house and food retail environments. If your site generates significantly higher waste volumes, a larger-capacity configuration may be worth considering. If you are unsure which setup is right for your operation, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Step-On is a 30-litre hands-free waste bin designed for commercial and hospitality environments where space is at a premium. The front-mounted foot pedal allows staff to open the lid without using their hands, and the lid closes silently — a practical detail in customer-facing areas such as front-of-house service counters, hotel lobbies, and café serveries where noise matters.

The narrow footprint is one of the more useful characteristics of this bin. In tight galley kitchens, serveries, or behind bar areas where floor space is genuinely limited, the slim profile allows the bin to sit flush against a wall or between fixtures without creating an obstruction. The resin construction is straightforward to wipe down and handles the routine knocks and cleaning cycles of a busy service environment reliably.

Practical benefits at a glance:

• Hands-free operation supports basic hygiene discipline in food preparation areas
• Silent-close lid reduces noise in customer-facing and open-plan environments
• Slim footprint works well in confined back-of-house or front-of-house spaces
• Resin construction is lightweight and easy to reposition as workflow demands
• Beige finish suits front-of-house areas where a neutral, unobtrusive appearance is preferred

This bin requires no installation — it is freestanding and needs no fixings, drainage, or power. At 2.8kg empty, it is easy to move and reposition. The 30-litre capacity is appropriate for low-to-moderate waste volumes; for higher-traffic areas generating significant waste during service, a larger-capacity bin would be worth considering.

The Slim Jim Step-On is well suited to cafés, hotel lobbies, small serveries, and back-of-house prep areas where controlled, hygienic waste disposal is needed without dedicating significant floor space. If you are fitting out multiple stations or need guidance on waste management across a larger site, we are happy to help you work through the options.

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.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a slim-profile, high-capacity waste bin designed specifically for commercial environments where floor space is at a premium. The venting channels running down the interior walls allow air to flow between the bin liner and the body of the bin, which prevents the vacuum effect that makes liner removal awkward — a small but genuinely useful detail in a busy kitchen where waste needs to be cleared quickly.

Constructed from commercial-grade polyethylene with a reinforced rim, this bin holds up well in demanding back-of-house conditions. The material resists cracking under regular use and handles the weight of a full load without deforming. The slim footprint makes it practical for positioning alongside prep stations, under counters, or in service corridors where a standard round bin simply would not fit.

• Venting channels prevent liner suction for fast, easy bag removal
• Reinforced rim resists crushing under heavy daily use
• Yellow colour supports colour-coded waste segregation systems
• Narrow profile fits into tight spaces standard bins cannot
• Suitable for both indoor and outdoor commercial use

The yellow colour is a practical consideration for operations following a colour-coded waste or cleaning regime, which is a common requirement in food production, healthcare catering, and contract catering environments. At 87 litres, it holds a meaningful volume before requiring a liner change, reducing interruptions during service. For very high-footfall locations generating waste at greater volume or frequency, a higher-capacity option from the wider range may be worth considering.

If you are fitting out a new kitchen or rationalising your waste management setup and want to talk through the right bin configuration for your workflow, the team is happy to help.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a 50-litre step-on pedal bin with a front-mounted foot pedal and a close-fitting lid. It is made from polyethylene and finished in yellow — a colour widely used in commercial environments to designate specific waste streams, making it easier for staff to sort waste correctly at the point of disposal without relying on additional signage.

In day-to-day use, the hands-free foot pedal is a straightforward but meaningful hygiene gain. Staff do not need to touch the lid during service or clean-down, which reduces cross-contamination risk in areas where hygiene standards are consistently enforced. The close-fitting lid helps contain odours and limits the spread of airborne particles, both practical considerations in busy back-of-house spaces.

The defining characteristic of the Slim Jim range is its narrow profile. Where a standard round or square bin would not fit, this unit can be positioned beside equipment, along corridor runs, or within washroom areas without obstructing traffic flow. Key practical points worth noting:

• Front foot pedal keeps lid operation entirely hands-free
• Yellow finish supports colour-coded waste segregation programmes
• Slim profile suits tight or awkward floor spaces
• Close-fitting lid contains odours and reduces airborne contamination
• Polyethylene construction is straightforward to wipe down and sanitise

This bin is well suited to commercial kitchens, staff washrooms, and back-of-house areas where floor space is at a premium and hygiene needs to be maintained reliably across shifts. For higher-volume waste stations requiring less frequent emptying, a larger-capacity model within the Slim Jim range may be more appropriate.

If you are planning a multi-station waste setup or want guidance on colour-coding for waste segregation, the team is glad to help you work through what suits your site.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a well-established waste container used across commercial kitchens, dining areas, and back-of-house environments. This 87-litre version in beige is built from polyethylene, making it robust enough for daily heavy use while remaining light enough to handle without difficulty. Its slim, rectangular profile is designed specifically to fit into narrow spaces — alongside prep stations, beneath pass-throughs, or in tight service corridors where a standard round bin simply won't go.

The defining feature of this container is its integrated venting channels, which run along the interior walls to allow air circulation as a bin bag is pulled free. In practice, this eliminates the vacuum seal that commonly forms when removing full bags — a small but meaningful improvement during a busy clean-down when staff are working quickly and physical strain is a genuine concern. The dual handles, positioned at both the base and rim, give a confident, stable grip when lifting and moving the container.

From an operational standpoint, the Slim Jim range offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Venting channels reduce resistance when removing full bin bags, lowering the risk of straining
• Handles at base and rim allow two-handed lifting for safe manual handling
• Slim footprint suits narrow service areas and tight back-of-house spaces
• Compatible with colour-coded lids and labelling stickers (sold separately) for waste segregation
• Polyethylene construction resists cracking and is straightforward to wipe clean

There are no electrical or plumbing requirements, and no particular installation considerations beyond ensuring the floor surface is stable and level. At 3.55kg empty, the container is easy to reposition. It is worth noting that at 87 litres, this size suits moderate-volume waste output — high-throughput kitchens or sites generating significant food waste may find they require a larger capacity container or a greater number of units positioned across the kitchen floor.

This container is well suited to small-to-medium commercial kitchens, café back-of-house areas, and front-of-house recycling stations where space is limited. It works equally well in office canteens and retail food service environments. The beige colour blends into most environments, and the option to add colour-coded lids makes it a practical component of a structured waste segregation setup.

If you are planning a waste management layout across multiple stations or want guidance on container sizing for your service volume, our team is happy to talk it through.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Handle Lid is a straightforward, well-made polypropylene lid designed to fit the Rubbermaid Slim Jim 60 and 87 litre bin range. It sits securely on top of the bin, providing a closed waste station that keeps odours contained and bin contents out of sight — a practical requirement in any customer-facing or food preparation area.

In a working kitchen or front-of-house environment, an uncovered bin is a hygiene risk and an aesthetic problem. This lid addresses both without complicating the waste management routine. The handle makes it straightforward to lift and replace during busy service, and the polypropylene construction handles the repeated daily contact that comes with a high-footfall kitchen without cracking or warping.

• Keeps odours trapped during service, reducing complaints in customer-facing areas
• Polypropylene construction withstands frequent daily use and standard cleaning chemicals
• Integrated handle allows quick, one-handed access during service
• Closes the bin fully, supporting basic food hygiene compliance
• Compatible with both 60 and 87 litre Slim Jim bin formats

It is worth confirming which Slim Jim bin size you are running before ordering, as this lid is specific to the Rubbermaid Slim Jim range and will not fit bins from other manufacturers. If you are fitting out multiple waste stations or replacing lids across a site, it is worth speaking with us to make sure you are ordering the correct configuration.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Step-On is a 68-litre pedal-operated waste bin designed specifically for commercial environments where floor space is at a premium. Its narrow footprint allows it to fit into gaps that a standard round or square bin simply cannot — along counters, between prep stations, or tucked beside service points without obstructing workflow.

In a busy kitchen or front-of-house setting, hands-free operation matters. The front-facing foot pedal opens the lid without requiring staff to touch the bin at any point, which supports basic hygiene practice during service. The lid closes quietly, which makes it a practical choice for customer-facing areas, front-of-house recycling points, or anywhere noise is a consideration.

Built from commercial-grade resin, the container is resistant to the knocks and daily wear that come with high-footfall environments. The slim profile does not compromise capacity — at 68 litres it handles a reasonable volume of general waste between liner changes.

• Front-pedal operation keeps hands free during food prep and service
• Slim profile fits corridors, counters, and tight back-of-house spaces
• Silent lid closure suits customer-facing and noise-sensitive areas
• Commercial-grade resin construction handles daily operational wear
• 68-litre capacity reduces the frequency of liner changes during service

This bin is best suited to sites that need to make the most of limited floor space without dropping below a workable waste capacity. It works well in café and restaurant front-of-house areas, hotel corridors, and smaller commercial kitchens. For higher-volume back-of-house waste collection, a larger or heavier-duty container may be more appropriate.

If you are fitting out a kitchen or front-of-house area and want to talk through the right waste management setup, the team is happy to help.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Swing Lid is a replacement or additional lid designed to fit the Slim Jim 60 and 87 litre bin range. Made from polystyrene, it fits directly onto the top of the bin and opens on a simple swing action, allowing waste to be deposited without needing to lift or remove the lid manually.

In a working kitchen or front-of-house environment, keeping waste contained matters — both for hygiene and for the appearance of the space. The swing mechanism means staff can push waste through quickly during busy service without breaking pace, while the lid keeps odours and visible waste out of sight between disposals. The polystyrene construction holds up well against daily knocks and frequent use in demanding environments.

• Fits Slim Jim 60 and 87 litre bins without modification
• Swing action allows hands-free or one-handed waste disposal
• Keeps waste concealed between service intervals
• Lightweight and straightforward to remove for bin emptying and cleaning
• Suitable for kitchen, front-of-house, or back-of-house use

There are no installation requirements — the lid sits onto the bin rim and is ready to use immediately. It is worth noting that this lid is designed specifically for the Slim Jim bin profile; it will not fit other bin ranges. If you are unsure whether this lid is compatible with the bins you currently have, or if you need lids for a higher-volume waste management setup, the team are happy to point you in the right direction.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a heavy-duty step-on pedal bin constructed in stainless steel, available here in a 90-litre capacity. It is designed for environments where hands-free waste disposal, hygiene, and durability are all daily requirements — commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, and healthcare settings being the most common applications.

In a working kitchen, a bin that requires hand contact quickly becomes a hygiene liability during service. The foot-operated pedal keeps hands free and away from contamination points, while the silent-closing lid mechanism avoids the clatter associated with cheaper alternatives — a practical consideration in open-plan or counter-service environments where noise levels matter. The stainless steel construction wipes down cleanly, tolerates regular disinfection without surface degradation, and holds up well against the knocks and impacts typical in a busy back-of-house.

From an operational standpoint, the design offers a few clear advantages:

• Hands-free pedal operation reduces cross-contamination risk during food prep and service
• Silent-close lid keeps noise levels down in open or customer-facing kitchen settings
• Stainless steel finish is straightforward to clean and resistant to surface damage
• Slim footprint fits into tighter floor spaces without compromising capacity
• 90-litre volume reduces how frequently staff need to change liners during a shift

No special installation is required — this is a freestanding unit with no electrical or plumbing connections. Placement is worth considering: positioning near prep stations or pass areas where waste is generated most frequently will make the most of the capacity and reduce unnecessary movement. At just over 9kg, it is manageable to reposition for cleaning. Compatible liner bags should be sized to suit the 90-litre footprint; Rubbermaid's own Slim Jim liners are designed to fit correctly and avoid slippage inside the container.

This bin is well suited to medium-to-large commercial kitchens, contract catering operations, food production environments, and healthcare sites where hygiene standards are a primary concern. For smaller prep areas or tight galley-style kitchens, a lower-capacity model may be a better fit; for very high-throughput sites generating significant waste volumes across a shift, it is worth considering whether multiple units or a larger-capacity option would better serve the workflow.

If you are unsure which size or configuration works best for your site, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a well-established waste container used across commercial kitchens, food service operations, and high-volume dining environments. The 60-litre beige version is built from durable polyethylene and is designed to fit into narrow spaces — alongside prep stations, under counters, or against walls — without occupying the floor area that a conventional round bin would require.

The four venting channels running the length of the container address a practical problem familiar to anyone who empties bin liners regularly: the vacuum that forms beneath a full bag when it is pulled upward. By allowing air to circulate, the channels release that resistance, making liner removal noticeably easier and reducing the physical strain on staff during a busy service. Over the course of a day's operation, that small difference adds up.

Handles positioned at both the base and the rim give a secure grip when the container needs to be moved or emptied, which matters when the bin is near capacity. The beige colour makes this container suitable for front-of-house or customer-facing areas where a neutral appearance is preferable, and it can be combined with colour-coded lids and labelling stickers — sold separately — to set up a straightforward recycling station without investing in specialist equipment.

• Slim footprint suits tight spaces along walls and prep runs
• Venting channels ease bag removal and reduce physical strain on staff
• Dual handles at base and rim for secure lifting when full
• Polyethylene construction is robust and straightforward to wipe clean
• Compatible with lids and colour-coded stickers for waste segregation

If you are setting up a waste management or recycling station and want to discuss capacity, colour options, or how many units would suit your site, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a 30-litre hands-free pedal bin designed for commercial kitchen and food service environments where hygiene and floor space are both genuine concerns. The front-step pedal keeps hands away from the lid at all times, which is a practical consideration in any food preparation area where reducing contact points matters.

The lid operates with a soft-closing damper rather than dropping shut freely. In a working kitchen this is more than a comfort detail — a hard-closing lid creates a brief pressure surge that can push airborne particles outward. The damper prevents that, which is a small but meaningful hygiene advantage near food preparation surfaces.

The narrow, upright Slim Jim profile is what makes this bin genuinely useful in tight spaces. It fits comfortably between prep stations, beside a pass, or flush against a wall without the footprint a conventional round or square bin would require.

• Hands-free pedal operation reduces contact at waste disposal points
• Soft-close lid damper limits dispersal of airborne contaminants
• Slim upright profile suits kitchens with restricted floor space
• Smooth polyethylene surfaces clean down quickly and thoroughly
• Lightweight build makes repositioning and emptying straightforward

At 30 litres, this bin is best suited to lower-volume waste points — a prep station, dry goods area, or front-of-house location. For high-output sections such as a main kitchen line or a wet-waste station handling heavy volumes, a larger-capacity model within the Slim Jim range is worth considering.

If you are working out the right bin sizes and configuration for your kitchen's waste streams, we are happy to talk it through.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a 50-litre step-on pedal bin designed for commercial kitchens, back-of-house areas, and washrooms where hygiene and floor space are both at a premium. Made from resin, it is built to withstand the daily wear of a working catering environment without the corrosion risk you get from metal alternatives.

The front-facing foot pedal allows staff to open the lid without using their hands, which matters in food preparation areas where reducing touchpoints is a practical hygiene measure rather than just a preference. The close-fitting lid creates a reasonable seal that contains odours and limits airborne contamination between lid openings — useful in areas with high bin activity during service.

Its narrow footprint is the product's defining practical advantage. Where a standard round bin would block a walkway or crowd a corner, the Slim Jim profile allows it to sit flush against a wall or inside a cupboard run without wasting usable floor area. Key practical points:

• Hands-free operation reduces cross-contamination risk at the bin
• Tight-fitting lid helps contain odours and airborne debris
• Slim profile fits against walls and into tight back-of-house spaces
• Resin construction resists corrosion in damp or high-moisture environments
• 50-litre capacity suits moderate-volume waste streams without frequent emptying

At 50 litres, this bin is well suited to medium-paced kitchens, prep areas, and washrooms. In higher-volume operations generating significant waste during peak service, a larger-capacity unit or a bank of multiple bins may be a more practical solution.

If you are fitting out a kitchen and want to discuss waste management alongside your wider equipment layout, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a slim-profile, high-capacity waste bin designed specifically for environments where floor space is limited but waste volumes are significant. The venting channels built into the body allow air to circulate between the liner and the bin wall, which is a practical detail that anyone who has wrestled a vacuum-sealed bin bag out of a full bin will appreciate. At 87 litres, the capacity is substantial enough to handle busy service periods without requiring constant changeovers.

In a working kitchen or front-of-house environment, the Slim Jim earns its place through its narrow footprint. It fits comfortably beside prep stations, behind counters, and in service corridors where a standard round bin simply will not go. The reinforced rim resists crushing under the kind of daily handling that wears cheaper bins out quickly, and the polyethylene construction is straightforward to wipe down and keep clean.

Practical benefits for kitchen operations include:

• Venting channels prevent liner vacuum-lock, making bag changes faster and easier
• Red colouring supports colour-coded waste segregation systems
• Slim profile fits into narrow runs and tight service areas
• Reinforced rim maintains shape under regular heavy use
• Lightweight construction makes repositioning practical during service

No installation is required. The bin is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, though it is most commonly used in kitchens, service areas, and food preparation environments where waste segregation and space efficiency are priorities. For sites generating significantly higher volumes of waste, larger-format bins may be worth considering alongside this model.

If you are building out a colour-coded waste management system or fitting out a kitchen with limited floor space, the team are happy to advise on quantities and configuration to suit your operation.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Mixed Recycling Lid is a polypropylene lid in green, designed to fit both the 60-litre and 87-litre Slim Jim bin range. It identifies a bin as the designated mixed recycling point, helping staff direct waste correctly without confusion at the point of disposal.

In a busy kitchen or front-of-house area, clear waste segregation depends on instant visual recognition. The green colour coding aligns with commonly adopted recycling colour conventions, making it straightforward to build and maintain consistent waste separation habits across a team — particularly useful where staff turnover is high or multiple shifts share the same workspace.

• Colour-coded green for mixed recycling identification
• Compatible with both 60L and 87L Slim Jim bins
• Moulded from durable polypropylene for long-term use
• Lightweight and easy to remove for bin emptying and cleaning
• Supports compliant waste segregation in catering environments

As a lid only, it assumes you already have a compatible Slim Jim bin in place. It does not include a swing aperture or other opening mechanism — waste is deposited by lifting or removing the lid, which is worth considering when positioning bins in self-service or high-traffic areas.

This lid is well suited to kitchens, canteens, hospitality venues, and back-of-house areas looking to formalise a colour-coded waste system using the Slim Jim bin range. If you are setting up waste stations from scratch or need guidance on which bin capacities make sense for your operation, the team is happy to help you put the right combination together.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Swing Lid in green is a replacement or additional lid designed to fit both the 60-litre and 87-litre Slim Jim bin range. Made from polypropylene, it sits securely on the bin and allows waste to be deposited without fully opening the container, keeping the contents contained between uses.

In a working kitchen environment, keeping waste streams clearly separated is both a hygiene requirement and a practical operational habit. The green colour coding supports this directly — staff can identify the correct bin at a glance without needing to read labels, which matters during a busy service when speed and accuracy both count. The swing mechanism allows one-handed depositing, which is useful when hands are occupied.

• Colour-coded green for straightforward waste stream identification
• Swing action allows deposit without full lid removal
• Compatible with both 60-litre and 87-litre Slim Jim bins
• Polypropylene construction is easy to wipe down and resistant to kitchen conditions
• Helps reinforce consistent waste separation habits across kitchen teams

There are no installation requirements — the lid fits directly onto compatible Slim Jim bins without tools or fixings. It is worth confirming that you have the correct Slim Jim bin size before ordering, as the lid is designed specifically for this range and may not be suitable for other bin formats.

This lid is well suited to any commercial kitchen, café, or food service environment already using Slim Jim bins and looking to add or replace lids as part of a colour-coded waste management system. If you are setting up a full waste separation station or need guidance on bin and lid combinations, the team is happy to help.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Hinge Lid is a replacement and accessory lid designed to fit the 60 litre and 87 litre Slim Jim bin range. Made from polypropylene, it sits flush over the bin opening and operates on a simple hinge mechanism, allowing hands-free or single-hand access during busy service without the lid needing to be fully removed and set aside.

In a working kitchen or front-of-house environment, an open waste bin is both a hygiene risk and an aesthetic problem. This lid addresses both by keeping waste concealed between uses and helping to contain odours — particularly relevant in warmer kitchen environments where uncovered bins become noticeable quickly. The hinge design means the lid stays attached to the bin at all times, reducing the chance of it being misplaced or left off entirely during a shift.

• Keeps waste concealed, reducing hygiene risk and odour spread
• Hinge mechanism allows access without removing the lid entirely
• Polypropylene construction handles regular daily use without warping
• Compatible with both 60 litre and 87 litre Slim Jim bins
• Straightforward to remove for bin liner changes and cleaning

There are no installation requirements — the lid drops directly onto compatible Slim Jim bins. It is worth confirming your existing bins are the 60 or 87 litre Slim Jim models before ordering, as the lid is not designed to fit other bin sizes or brands.

This lid is a practical addition for any site already running Slim Jim bins that either need a replacement lid or are adding lids to bins previously used open. It suits kitchens, service corridors, front-of-house areas, and anywhere waste containment and presentation matter.

If you're unsure which lid or bin configuration is right for your site, our team are happy to help you work it out.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a 90-litre step-on waste bin built for commercial environments where floor space is tight but waste capacity cannot be reduced. Its narrow profile allows it to sit alongside prep stations, in corridor runs, or against walls where a conventional round bin would obstruct movement or simply not fit.

The front-mounted foot pedal is recessed into the body of the bin, keeping it clear of thoroughfares and reducing the risk of trips in high-footfall areas. The pedal opening is sized to work reliably with thicker-soled footwear — clogs, safety boots — which is a practical consideration during a busy service when staff cannot slow down. Hands-free lid operation is not a convenience in a commercial kitchen; it is a hygiene requirement, and this bin handles it without fuss.

Practical advantages for kitchen and catering operations include:

• Slim footprint fits narrow runs and tight service areas without blocking access
• Hands-free operation supports hygiene compliance during busy service periods
• Recessed pedal reduces trip hazard in high-traffic kitchen areas
• 90-litre capacity limits the number of bin changes needed during a service
• White finish suits food prep and front-of-house areas where appearance is relevant

There are no electrical, gas, or water connections required. Placement is the primary consideration — the bin should be accessible to staff without obstructing workflow or emergency routes. The polyethylene construction is straightforward to wipe down or sanitise as part of routine kitchen cleaning.

This bin is well suited to catering kitchens, school dining facilities, hospital catering departments, and front-of-house areas. For very high-volume operations generating significant waste across multiple services, a larger-capacity unit or a multi-bin arrangement may be worth considering. For smaller operations with modest waste output, a lower-capacity model in the Slim Jim range may be the more appropriate choice.

If you are weighing up the right size or configuration for your setup, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Recycling Station is a single-stream waste bin designed specifically for general waste collection in commercial and public-facing environments. Built from polyethylene in a slim-profile form factor, it is intended to fit into tighter spaces without sacrificing usable capacity, making it a practical choice where floor space is at a premium.

In busy kitchens, canteens, and front-of-house areas, consistent and clearly labelled waste separation points make a real difference to how well staff and visitors comply with waste routines. The Slim Jim's clear general waste labelling removes ambiguity at the point of disposal, which helps keep recycling streams uncontaminated during service — a common problem when bins are poorly identified or difficult to use quickly.

From an operational standpoint, the design includes vented channels that make liner removal considerably easier, reducing the friction around a task that staff need to perform regularly throughout a shift. Key practical advantages include:

• Slim footprint suits narrow corridors, serveries, and back-of-house areas
• Vented channels allow bin liners to release cleanly without effort
• Modular design — units can be grouped to create a multi-stream waste station
• Clear stream labelling supports waste compliance in busy environments
• Polyethylene construction is robust, easy to wipe down, and resistant to daily knocks

The modular nature of the Slim Jim range is worth considering at the planning stage. If you anticipate needing separate streams for dry mixed recycling, glass, or food waste alongside general waste, additional matching units can be combined into a co-ordinated station. For higher-volume sites with larger waste output, higher-capacity options within the range may be more appropriate.

This unit works well in kitchens, staff canteens, educational facilities, and front-of-house areas where a tidy, functional waste point is needed without a large footprint. If you are planning a wider waste management setup or are unsure which combination of streams best fits your site, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
