Rubbermaid Slim Jim Step-On Pedal Bin Grey 90Ltr

The Rubbermaid Slim Jim is a hands-free, step-operated waste bin built for continuous use in commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, and front-of-house environments. The front-mounted foot pedal opens the lid without hand contact, and a built-in soft-close damper brings the lid down gradually rather than allowing it to fall shut. That detail matters in practice — a conventional lid slamming closed displaces a pulse of air outward, which can carry odours and airborne particles into the surrounding area. The Slim Jim avoids this.

The polyethylene construction wipes down quickly, and the contoured profile has few recessed edges where debris can collect. In a busy kitchen or service corridor, that reduces cleaning time during a turnaround. The 90-litre capacity handles high-turnover waste points without requiring constant emptying mid-service.

• Hands-free operation reduces cross-contamination risk during food preparation
• Soft-close damper prevents air displacement when the lid closes
• Narrow footprint works in tighter back-of-house corridors and pass areas
• Smooth polyethylene surfaces clean down quickly between services
• Suitable for general waste, dry waste, or lined wet waste streams

The slim profile makes it a practical choice where a standard round bin would obstruct foot traffic or workflow. It is commonly used in prep kitchens, pass areas, and front-of-house service points. For very high-volume sites generating significant waste in short periods, a higher-capacity bin may be worth considering alongside this model.

If you are fitting out multiple waste points across a site and want to talk through which capacity suits each area, the team is glad to help.
