Waste Management

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a well-established commercial waste bin widely used in professional kitchens, food service operations, and hospitality environments. This 87-litre version is finished in green and carries a recycling logo, making it straightforward to designate for recyclable waste streams and keep separation consistent across a site.

In a busy back-of-house setting, waste management is often overlooked until it causes a problem. The Slim Jim's slim-profile footprint means it fits into tighter service corridors and against walls without obstructing workflow, while the venting channels in the body reduce the suction effect that makes liner removal awkward and slow during service. The moulded base grips give the bin stability on wet kitchen floors and provide a more controlled hold when tipping or repositioning.

Practical operational benefits include:

• Clear colour coding and recycling logo supports waste segregation compliance
• Venting channels prevent liner lock, making bag changes quicker during service
• Slim profile suits narrow runs and back-of-house corridors
• Polyethylene construction resists impact and is straightforward to clean down
• Moulded base grips reduce movement on wet or smooth flooring

There are no installation requirements — the bin is freestanding and requires no fixings, drainage connections, or power. It is suitable for indoor use across kitchens, serveries, and preparation areas. For high-volume operations generating significant waste across a shift, it is worth considering whether multiple units or a higher-capacity bin would better suit the throughput.

This bin is well suited to catering operations that need reliable, clearly identified recycling points without taking up excessive floor space — including contract catering, hotels, schools, and hospitality venues. If you are fitting out a full waste management station or need guidance on bin quantities and placement for a specific site, the team is happy to help you think it through.

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.

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.

This Jantex pedal bin is a compact, hands-free waste disposal unit finished in brushed steel. The foot pedal lifts the lid without any hand contact, and the soft-close mechanism brings it back down quietly rather than dropping with a clatter. The brushed steel surface resists fingerprint marks, which helps keep it looking presentable between cleans in high-footfall areas.

At 3 litres, this is a small-capacity bin intended for personal waste rather than general rubbish collection. It is commonly used in hotel guest bathrooms, spa changing rooms, and staff washrooms where a discreet, hygienic disposal point is needed for items that cannot be flushed — sanitary products, cotton pads, and similar waste. The compact footprint suits spaces where floor area is limited.

Practical points worth noting:

• Hands-free pedal operation reduces cross-contamination in washroom settings
• Soft-close lid minimises noise in quiet environments such as guest accommodation
• Brushed steel finish resists fingerprints and is straightforward to wipe down
• Compact round form fits neatly beside vanity units or under counters
• Steel construction holds up to regular daily use without distortion

This bin is not suited to kitchen waste streams or high-volume collection points — for those applications, a larger or purpose-built kitchen waste bin would be more appropriate. It is best placed where small volumes of personal waste need to be managed hygienically and unobtrusively.

If you are fitting out multiple rooms or need guidance on matching bin sizes to specific washroom configurations, the team is happy to talk through the options.

The Rubbermaid BRUTE Rollout Container is a large-capacity waste and materials handling bin designed for demanding back-of-house environments. Moulded from high-density polyethylene and supplied with a fitted lid and heavy-duty wheeled base, it is built to handle the volume and pace of daily commercial use — whether positioned at a kitchen waste station, a loading bay, or in an external storage area.

In busy kitchen environments, waste accumulates quickly during service. A container of this capacity reduces the number of trips to external bins, which in turn helps keep back-of-house areas clear and workflows uninterrupted. The reinforced rim maintains structural shape under repeated loading, and the polyethylene construction resists impact, moisture, and the kind of rough handling that smaller or lighter bins rarely survive for long.

• Rollout wheel base allows easy repositioning without lifting
• Fitted lid contains odours and meets basic hygiene requirements for waste areas
• Polyethylene construction cleans down quickly with standard kitchen cleaning agents
• Suited to both indoor and outdoor use without deterioration
• Handles heavy, dense loads without the base flexing or distorting

Installation here simply means placement — there are no utilities required. It is worth confirming that access routes from your kitchen to the waste area are wide enough to roll the container through comfortably when fully loaded. For sites with heavier waste volumes or multiple collection points, a larger or more specialist waste stream solution may be worth considering.

This container works well for mid-sized to larger catering operations — restaurants, contract catering kitchens, school kitchens, and similar environments — where a reliable, high-capacity bin is needed without the complexity of a fixed waste system. Smaller operations with limited back-of-house space may find a more compact option better suited to their layout.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your waste handling setup, or whether a different configuration would suit your site better, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Jantex 5-litre black pedal bin is a compact, practical waste bin designed for use in bathrooms, guest rooms, and similar facilities where discreet, hands-free waste disposal is required. It is commonly used in hotels, guesthouses, spas, and any hospitality setting where sanitary waste, tissues, and small items need to be managed neatly and hygienically.

The foot pedal allows the lid to be opened without hand contact, which is particularly useful in guest-facing environments where hygiene standards and presentation both matter. The soft-close lid mechanism means the bin closes quietly without slamming — a practical consideration in hotel rooms or spa areas where noise is a factor.

From a maintenance perspective, the removable inner bucket with a handle makes emptying straightforward and keeps the cleaning process quick during housekeeping rounds. The outer shell is constructed from ABS material, which wipes down easily and resists everyday wear.

• Hands-free foot pedal operation reduces contact during use
• Soft-close lid keeps noise to a minimum in quieter spaces
• Removable inner bucket simplifies emptying and liner changes
• ABS construction is easy to wipe clean during routine housekeeping
• Compact footprint suits standard bathroom spaces without obstruction

This bin is well suited to individual guest rooms, en-suite bathrooms, spa treatment rooms, and staff WCs. For higher-traffic shared facilities or larger spaces, a greater-capacity model may be more practical. If you are fitting out multiple rooms and want guidance on quantity or coordinating accessories, the team is happy to help you work through the requirements.

The Brabantia NewIcon is a steel pedal bin designed for everyday waste collection in commercial and semi-commercial settings. The 30-litre capacity makes it a practical choice for smaller waste streams — reception areas, staff rooms, office kitchens, or light-duty back-of-house use where a full-size bin would be excessive.

The soft-closing lid operates quietly under foot pressure, which matters in environments where noise needs to be kept to a minimum. The lid also sits flush when closed, helping to contain odours between bag changes — a straightforward but useful feature in any enclosed space. The anti-tilt base keeps the bin stable during use, reducing the chance of it toppling when the pedal is depressed repeatedly through the course of a shift.

From an operational standpoint, the steel construction is more durable than plastic alternatives and easier to wipe down. Key practical points include:

• Soft-close lid reduces noise in customer-facing or quiet working areas
• Pedal operation keeps hands free and limits contact — useful in hygiene-conscious environments
• Steel body is straightforward to clean and holds up to regular use
• Stable base resists tipping during repeated pedal use

This bin is best suited to light-duty commercial use — staff facilities, front-of-house areas, or small preparation spaces where waste volumes are modest. It is not designed for heavy kitchen waste or high-turnover collection points where a larger, more robust unit would be more appropriate. For busier waste streams, a higher-capacity model would serve better.

If you are specifying waste management across a site and want to make sure you have the right capacity and number of units for your layout, 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.

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 Brute snap-on lid is designed specifically to fit the round Brute waste container in the 37.9-litre size. Made from polyethylene, it clips securely onto the container to keep waste contained between collections, helping to control odours and reduce the risk of spillage or pest access in kitchen and back-of-house environments.

In a working kitchen, an uncovered waste bin is a hygiene and compliance risk. This lid provides a straightforward solution — it seats firmly on the container without requiring tools or complicated fitment, and can be removed and replaced quickly during busy service periods when speed matters. The polyethylene construction is easy to wipe down and holds up well to the conditions typical in a commercial kitchen.

• Keeps waste contained and reduces odours between collections
• Quick to fit and remove during service without disrupting workflow
• Compatible with the Rubbermaid Brute 37.9Ltr round grey container
• Polyethylene construction is easy to clean and resistant to everyday wear
• Supports kitchen hygiene standards by limiting open waste exposure

It is worth confirming that the container you have is the round Brute in the matching grey 37.9-litre size before ordering — the Brute range spans several capacities and shapes, and lids are not interchangeable across sizes. This lid is sold separately from the container.

This lid suits any commercial kitchen, food prep area, or back-of-house space already using the matching Brute container. If you are setting up a complete waste management solution or are unsure which container and lid combination is right for your site, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.

This bottle trolley from Fletcher is a straightforward, practical piece of back-of-house kit designed for collecting and moving empty bottles from service areas to waste or recycling points. Constructed from moulded polythene, it holds up well to daily handling in busy environments and is watertight, so liquid residue from bottles doesn't leak during transit.

In operational terms, the trolley suits venues that go through a reasonable volume of bottled product during service — bars, hotel F&B operations, event catering setups, and similar sites where bottle accumulation is a recurring task. The 125-litre capacity means staff aren't constantly making trips, which helps keep back-of-house operations moving without unnecessary interruption to service.

• Watertight polythene construction prevents drips and leakage during transit
• Four 50mm castors with moulded fixings provide stable, easy movement when fully loaded
• Stackable when not in use, keeping storage areas clear
• Supports up to 60kg load capacity for confident use at full fill
• Durable moulded body avoids the weak points common in drilled or welded alternatives

One point worth considering: this trolley is sized for moderate-volume sites. Very high-output venues — large nightclubs or festival bars, for instance — may find they need multiple units or a higher-capacity solution to keep pace with waste volumes during peak service.

If you're unsure whether this size suits your operation or want to talk through how it fits into your waste management setup, we're happy to help you work that out before you order.

This 120-litre black wheelie bin from Charles Bentley is a straightforward outdoor waste container made from polyethylene. It is the size most commonly used for general refuse collection at commercial premises, sitting between smaller site bins and the larger 240-litre bins used where waste volumes are higher.

Polyethylene construction makes the bin resistant to UV exposure, frost, and contact with cleaning chemicals, which matters in a back-of-house or yard environment where bins take year-round punishment from the weather and regular hosing down. It holds its shape and colour over time without becoming brittle or cracking under typical outdoor conditions.

• Rear-mounted wheels allow easy movement even when the bin is fully loaded
• Comfortable handle gives a secure grip when manoeuvring on uneven surfaces
• Resistant to UV, frost, and common cleaning chemicals
• Hinged lid keeps waste contained and reduces odour in service yards
• Compatible with standard kerbside collection vehicles

For smaller catering operations, a single 120-litre bin is often sufficient for a daily collection cycle, though busier kitchens or those producing significant food waste alongside general refuse may find they need more than one. If your site generates higher volumes, a 240-litre bin or a set of bins split by waste stream is worth considering.

Installation is minimal — the bin arrives ready to use and requires no fixings or assembly beyond attaching the lid and wheels if delivered flat-packed. It is best positioned on a hard, level surface in an area accessible to collection vehicles.

If you are unsure how many bins your site needs or which capacity suits your collection schedule, we are happy to talk it through.

This 120-litre blue wheelie bin from Charles Bentley is a straightforward, practical waste container made from polyethylene and intended for outdoor use in commercial settings. The blue colour coding makes it easy to designate for a specific waste stream — commonly used for general recyclables — which helps keep waste handling organised on busy sites.

Built to sit outside year-round, the bin is resistant to UV light, frost, and chemical exposure, so it holds up well in exposed service yard environments without becoming brittle or discoloured over time. The rear-mounted wheels and handle make it manageable to move when full, which matters in busy kitchen or hospitality environments where waste needs to be shifted quickly during or after service.

Practically speaking, this bin works well for a number of back-of-house and external waste management applications:

• Colour-coded for clear waste stream identification
• Suitable for permanent outdoor positioning in all weather
• Easy to move between collection points with rear wheels and handle
• Resistant to cleaning chemicals used in commercial yard maintenance
• Compatible with standard kerbside and commercial waste collection lorries

It is worth noting that at 120 litres, this bin suits lower-to-moderate waste volumes. Sites generating high volumes of a single waste type — such as large hotel kitchens or central production units — may find a larger capacity bin better suited to their collection frequency. For mixed-use yards or supplementary colour-coded waste separation, this size is a practical and cost-effective choice.

If you are unsure how many bins you need or how to structure your waste streams, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a well-established commercial waste container designed for back-of-house and front-of-house use where space is at a premium. Its narrow footprint makes it practical in tight service corridors, behind counters, and in prep areas where a standard round bin would obstruct workflow. The polyethylene construction is robust enough for daily commercial use and straightforward to wipe down between services.

In a working kitchen environment, the venting channels built into the container body make a genuine difference at the end of a busy shift. They break the vacuum seal that forms between a full liner and the bin wall, meaning staff can remove a loaded bag cleanly without the liner tearing or the bin tipping. It is a small detail that reduces mess and speeds up waste changeovers during service.

• Narrow profile fits neatly into service corridors and behind counters
• Venting channels allow liner removal without vacuum resistance or tearing
• Compatible with colour-coded lids for simple waste stream separation
• Polyethylene body resists impact and is easy to clean down
• Lightweight enough for staff to relocate quickly between service areas

There are no installation requirements — the container is freestanding and requires no fixings, drainage, or power. It is worth considering whether a single unit will cover your waste volume across a full service period, or whether multiple containers positioned at key points would suit your operation better. For higher-volume sites or where larger capacity is needed, the Slim Jim range includes larger options worth considering.

This container is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, school canteens, and smaller commercial operations where controlled waste separation and space efficiency matter. If you are fitting out a larger site or planning a waste management layout across multiple stations, the team is happy to help you work through the right approach.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim Step-On is a front-pedal operated waste bin with a 30-litre capacity, constructed in stainless steel. It is designed for use in commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, and front-of-house spaces where hands-free waste disposal and hygiene control are practical requirements.

In a working kitchen environment, the front-pedal mechanism allows staff to open the lid without using their hands, which matters during food preparation and service when cross-contamination risk needs to be managed. The stainless steel body resists the knocks and daily wear of a busy back-of-house environment and can be wiped down or disinfected quickly — an important consideration during cleaning routines or routine health inspections.

Its slim footprint makes it a practical choice where floor space is tight. It can sit neatly at a prep station, alongside a cooking line, or at a service pass without obstructing movement. Key practical advantages include:

• Hands-free operation reduces cross-contamination risk during food prep
• Stainless steel surface is straightforward to clean and disinfect
• Slim profile suits confined areas without blocking workflow
• Durable construction holds up to regular use in demanding environments

The 30-litre capacity is well suited to smaller kitchens, individual prep stations, or areas generating moderate waste volumes. In higher-volume operations producing significant waste during service, a larger-capacity model may serve better to reduce the frequency of emptying.

If you are unsure whether this size is the right fit for your kitchen layout or waste management setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Bolero 2 Compartment Hotel Bin is a small-footprint waste bin designed for guest rooms, hotel corridors, and similar hospitality spaces. It features two separate inner buckets — one grey, one white — housed within a single outer shell, allowing straightforward separation of recyclable and non-recyclable waste at point of disposal.

In a hotel context, this kind of bin supports basic in-room recycling without requiring guests to do anything complicated. The two-bucket arrangement makes it easy for housekeeping staff to empty and sort waste quickly during room turnover, which matters when a team is working through a large number of rooms in a short window.

• Dual inner buckets allow recyclable and non-recyclable waste to be separated at source
• Compact form factor suits tight spaces such as under desks or beside bedside tables
• Polypropylene construction is lightweight and easy for housekeeping staff to handle
• Plain black finish works against most room colour schemes without drawing attention
• Simple open-top design requires no mechanism and is straightforward to clean

The bin is made from polypropylene with a powder-coated iron outer frame. It is worth noting this is a room-use accessory rather than a heavy-duty waste management solution — it is not intended for back-of-house or high-volume waste collection. For properties needing larger-capacity or more robust waste handling, it is worth looking at heavier-duty alternatives within the range.

This bin is well suited to hotel and guest accommodation operators looking for a tidy, consistent solution across multiple rooms, particularly where a basic recycling separation requirement needs to be met. If you are specifying across a large number of rooms or need guidance on volume and sizing, the team is happy to help.

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.

This is a straightforward, heavy-duty bottle trolley designed for the practical demands of busy bars, hotels, event venues, and hospitality kitchens. Built from moulded polythene, it functions primarily as a means of collecting and transporting empty bottles from service areas to waste or recycling points, though it works equally well as a static bottle skip when space and workflow allow.

The watertight construction is a practical advantage in this application — liquid residue from empty bottles is a common issue, and the seamless moulded body means there is no leakage as the trolley moves through service areas or along external routes to waste stores. The four 50mm castors are fixed through moulded housings rather than drilled fixings, which maintains the structural integrity of the base and makes the trolley manageable even when loaded to its maximum capacity.

In day-to-day use, the key operational benefits are:

• Watertight body prevents spillage when transporting bottles with residual liquid
• Moulded castor fixings maintain strength under repeated heavy loading
• Stackable when not in use, keeping storage areas clear during quiet periods
• Smooth internal profile makes emptying and rinsing quick and straightforward
• Robust polythene construction resists impact and handles rough service environments

There are no installation requirements — the trolley is ready to use as delivered. It is worth confirming that doorways, service corridors, and external access routes on your site can accommodate the trolley's footprint, particularly when fully loaded. At 160 litres, this is the larger format and suits higher-volume operations. For smaller venues or tighter spaces, a more compact alternative may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size is the right fit for your site, or if you need guidance on waste management equipment more broadly, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This Bolero waste paper bin is a straightforward, practical solution for hotel rooms, guest areas, and light-duty front-of-house environments. Constructed from brushed stainless steel, it offers a clean, neutral appearance that sits comfortably alongside standard hospitality furnishings without drawing attention to itself.

The removable rim is a practical detail worth noting — it allows a standard bin liner to be tucked neatly out of sight, which makes a noticeable difference to presentation in guest-facing settings where visible plastic bags are a minor but common complaint. Emptying and relining is straightforward, which matters when housekeeping staff are working through a high volume of rooms efficiently.

As a lightweight item, it is easy to move and handle during room cleaning. The brushed steel finish is reasonably resistant to fingermarks and surface scuffing under normal daily use, though it is not designed for heavy-duty or wet-area environments such as commercial kitchens or outdoor spaces.

• Clean brushed finish suits hotel rooms, offices, and reception areas
• Removable rim keeps bin liners concealed for a tidy appearance
• Lightweight construction aids quick room turnaround for housekeeping
• Simple to empty, reline, and wipe down during routine cleaning

This bin is best suited to single-room or small-area use — hotel bedrooms, en suites, offices, or quiet reception spaces. It is not intended for high-volume waste collection or back-of-house environments. For larger spaces or higher footfall areas, a larger-capacity open-top or pedal bin would be more appropriate.

If you are equipping a number of rooms and want to make sure you are choosing the right size or finish for the application, we are happy to help you work through the options.

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.

This 240-litre wheelie bin from Charles Bentley is a straightforward, heavy-duty waste container made from polyethylene. The yellow colour makes it well suited to colour-coded waste segregation systems, which are commonly used in commercial kitchens, food production sites and hospitality premises to separate general waste, recycling or specific waste streams at a glance.

In practice, a 240-litre bin handles the waste output of a moderately busy kitchen or back-of-house service area without needing to be emptied constantly during a shift. The rear-mounted wheels allow it to be moved even when fully loaded, which is useful when repositioning between prep areas, loading bays or external storage. The polyethylene construction resists knocks, chemical exposure, frost and UV degradation, so it holds up well in outdoor yard areas or unheated stores.

• Colour-coded yellow supports waste segregation compliance
• Rear wheels allow easy relocation when fully laden
• Resistant to chemicals, frost and UV exposure for outdoor use
• Durable polyethylene construction withstands everyday commercial use
• Lid keeps waste contained and reduces odour in service areas

It is worth considering how many bins your site requires based on waste volume and collection frequency. A single 240-litre bin may be sufficient for a small café or pub kitchen, while larger operations or sites with infrequent collections will typically need several. If your operation generates significantly higher waste volumes, a larger-capacity bin may be more practical.

If you are setting up a waste management system across a larger site or need guidance on matching bin capacity to your collection schedule, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a slim-profile, high-capacity waste bin designed specifically for commercial environments where floor space is limited. Made from commercial-grade polyethylene with a reinforced rim, it holds a useful 60 litres of waste while occupying a notably narrow footprint — making it practical for positioning alongside prep stations, pass areas, or back-of-house corridors without obstructing movement.

In a busy kitchen environment, the venting channels along the sides are a small but genuinely useful detail. They break the vacuum that forms between a full bin liner and the container wall, meaning liners pull out cleanly rather than requiring staff to wrestle with them mid-service. The reinforced rim resists the kind of casual rough handling that tends to crack or deform cheaper bins over time.

• Venting channels allow bin liners to be removed cleanly without resistance
• Reinforced rim reduces the risk of distortion under heavy use
• Green colouring supports colour-coded waste segregation systems
• Narrow profile fits alongside stations without blocking access routes
• Suitable for both indoor and outdoor commercial use

There are no installation requirements — the bin is freestanding and requires no fixings or connections. It is worth considering that at 60 litres, this bin suits moderate-volume waste streams; high-throughput kitchens or sites with significant wet waste may find they need to empty it frequently, in which case a larger-capacity model from the same range would be worth considering.

This bin is well suited to cafés, small restaurant kitchens, front-of-house areas, and any site operating a colour-coded recycling or waste segregation scheme. If you are fitting out a full waste management setup and want to talk through capacity or colour-coding requirements, the team are happy to help you get it right.

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.
