Product Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It depends on the volume and type of waste your operation generates. A 50-litre bin is practical for prep areas, washrooms, or lower-volume kitchens, but a high-throughput kitchen during peak service may find it fills too quickly. In those settings, using multiple units or a higher-capacity model is usually the more workable approach.
- Hands-free bin access is a straightforward way to reduce touchpoints in food preparation and handling areas, which supports good hygiene practice in line with HACCP-based kitchen procedures. Staff can dispose of waste without breaking their workflow or contaminating their hands or gloves.
- Yes — the resin construction handles damp environments well, making it equally practical in commercial washrooms and changing areas. The odour-containing lid is particularly useful in washroom settings where waste may sit for longer periods between emptying.
