Product Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It depends on the volume of waste generated and how many distinct collection points your site requires. A smaller kitchen might manage with one or two units placed strategically, while larger operations — hotels, contract catering, event venues — often benefit from multiple bins positioned at each waste generation point to keep segregation consistent throughout the shift.
- Yes. The polyethylene construction handles the moisture and temperature variation typical of a commercial kitchen, and the moulded base grips are specifically designed to reduce movement on wet flooring. It is worth noting this bin is intended for indoor use rather than external or refrigerated waste storage areas.
- The Slim Jim is compatible with standard commercial bin liners of an appropriate size. Rubbermaid does produce liners designed to fit the Slim Jim range precisely, which can help with a neat fit and reduce the liner slipping into the bin during use — worth considering if tidy presentation matters in front-of-house or servery settings.
