Product Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For a single prep or service station, 49 litres is a practical working capacity for general food waste during a shift, particularly where staff are emptying bins regularly as part of their workflow. For high-volume kitchens generating significant waste continuously, a larger-capacity bin or multiple units positioned across the kitchen may suit better.
- Yes — the grey colour is specifically useful in colour-coded systems where different bin colours denote different waste streams, helping staff dispose of waste correctly without having to think about it. Rubbermaid's Slim Jim range is available in several colours if you need to set up a consistent system across multiple stations.
- The polyethylene construction is resistant to the chemical cleaning agents commonly used in commercial kitchens, so it can be wiped down, sprayed or hosed off without risk of damage or degradation. The smooth internal surfaces don't harbour residue easily, and the relatively light weight means it can be taken to a wash area for more thorough cleaning without much effort.
