Product Description
The Rubbermaid Step-On Pedal Bin is a hands-free waste bin designed for active commercial kitchen and front-of-house environments. Built from polyethylene and operated by a foot pedal, it allows kitchen staff to dispose of waste without hand contact, which is a straightforward and practical contribution to maintaining hygiene standards during busy service periods.
At 87 litres, this bin is well suited to high-traffic waste points — back-of-house disposal areas, prep kitchen stations, or service corridors where waste accumulates quickly and the bin needs to handle a full shift without constant emptying. The tight-fitting lid helps contain food odours, which matters in enclosed kitchen environments where air quality affects both staff comfort and food hygiene compliance. The pedal mechanism is designed to operate quietly, reducing unnecessary noise in service areas.
Practical operational advantages include:
- Hands-free operation reduces cross-contamination risk at waste points
- Tight-fitting lid controls odour in enclosed kitchen environments
- Quiet pedal action suited to front-of-house or customer-adjacent areas
- Polyethylene construction is easy to clean and resistant to everyday knocks
- Red colour coding supports waste stream segregation practices
There are no installation requirements — this bin is freestanding and requires no fixings, drainage, or electrical connection. At just over 8kg, it is light enough to move and reposition as kitchen workflows change. The footprint is relatively compact for the capacity it offers, though it is worth confirming the available floor space before ordering. Colour coding with red makes it straightforward to designate this bin for a specific waste stream, which aligns with HACCP-based kitchen management systems.
This bin is a practical choice for commercial kitchens, catering operations, hospitality venues, and food production environments that need a reliable, hygienic, and clearly colour-coded waste solution. For lower-volume stations or tighter spaces, smaller capacities are available in the same range; for very high-volume disposal points, a larger-capacity model may be worth considering.
If you are equipping a kitchen and want to discuss waste management layouts or colour-coding strategies, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For most medium to high-volume kitchens, an 87-litre bin at a primary waste point will handle a full service without needing to be emptied mid-shift, though this depends on the type of operation and how frequently collections are made. For very high-output environments or central waste areas serving multiple stations, a larger-capacity model may be more practical. For smaller prep stations or secondary positions, a lower-capacity option from the same range may be sufficient.
- In kitchens operating under HACCP principles, colour-coded waste bins help staff quickly identify designated disposal points for different waste streams — for example, separating food waste from packaging or recyclables. Using consistent colour coding reduces the risk of cross-contamination and supports cleaner audit trails during food safety inspections. Red is a commonly used designation, though it is worth confirming your own kitchen's colour-coding scheme before committing to a specific colour.
- The polyethylene construction is straightforward to wipe down or hose out, and the smooth internal surfaces do not trap residue in the way that textured or jointed bins can. Using a liner is advisable in most kitchen environments to speed up changeovers during service and to protect the bin from heavier soiling. The lid and pedal mechanism should be wiped regularly as high-contact surfaces in a busy kitchen.
