Rubbermaid Step-On Pedal Bin Red 68Ltr

The Rubbermaid Step-On Pedal Bin is a hands-free waste bin operated by a foot pedal, designed for continuous use in commercial kitchen and food service environments. At 68 litres, it sits in the larger end of the step-on range and is well suited to busy service areas where waste accumulates quickly and frequent emptying is disruptive.

The tight-fitting lid helps contain food odours between empties, which matters in kitchens where waste bins are positioned close to prep areas. The foot pedal mechanism keeps hands free and reduces cross-contamination risk, making it a practical fit for HACCP-conscious operations. The moulded polyethylene construction is straightforward to wipe down and resistant to the knocks and moisture typical of a working kitchen environment.

The red colouring makes this bin a natural choice for kitchens operating a colour-coded waste or hygiene system, helping staff identify the correct bin quickly during a busy service.

• Hands-free operation reduces cross-contamination risk at point of disposal
• Tight-fitting lid contains odours between waste collections
• Red finish supports colour-coded waste management systems
• Polyethylene body withstands daily commercial kitchen use
• 68-litre capacity reduces the frequency of emptying during service

It is worth considering where the bin will be positioned — the footprint is reasonably substantial, so it suits back-of-house areas with adequate floor space rather than confined prep corners. For very high-output kitchens generating large volumes of waste rapidly, a larger bin or multiple units may be a more practical solution.

If you are putting together a colour-coded system across several areas or are unsure which capacity suits your workflow, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
