Rubbermaid 1971259 Details

Providing an excellent, compact solution for waste management, this Rubbermaid Slim Jim 16 gallon beige trash can is the perfect addition to restaurants, schools, offices, and hotels where space is at a premium. This convenient container features four venting channels that create ample airflow to reduce the vacuum effect that occurs when lifting out trash liners. This added air circulation makes removing liners up to 80% easier than traditional containers, helping to save valuable time, reduce excess labor, and minimize the risk of potential injuries.

Not only does it boast rim handles for a secure grip, it also has base handles on the bottom to improve overall comfort and control while lifting and emptying full containers. Plus, the incorporated bag cinches help secure liners around the rim of the container, allowing for quick, knot-free bag changes.

Made of high-quality, commercial-grade resin, this trash can is designed to withstand heavy-duty use in any fast-paced environment. While its reinforced rim aids in maintaining the container's structural integrity, the robust handle construction resists damage while the container is being lifted or transported. It also comes in a variety of colors that allow you to color code each can for easy identification. With its slender design that ensures a superior fit in tight spaces, this Slim Jim container is sure to keep your facility clean and organized!

These cans have same size opening as standard cans but are short enough to put in dolley and still fit under bar height counter. Smaller can also helps keep bags from getting too heavy to empty.

The slim Jim trash bins are so cool and unique for tighter spaces. They save a lot of room and we use ours as a regular trash can.

The trash can is solid. Holds up well. Has a nice rim around the top that the bag can fold over. We needed a particular size and this fit the bill. No issues.

This trash bin is PERFECT to situate next to our prep station. Slim, stays in the perfect spot, doesn’t get in the way, and we couldn’t imagine having anything else right here!

Great thin trash can that you can slide into the smallest places. Very easy to wipe out and keep clean. Stands up to a daily beating in a commercial kitchen.

This trash can is a perfect size for a narrow space and also the perfect height to keep on the side of a pizza counter.

We had to find a small trash can that could fit under a stainless prep table. We only had about 12" and this was exactly what we were looking for. It is made out of a nice thick plastic that won't bend and distort over time. We will be purchasing more of these in the near future.

This is a great size can! It tucks away nicely and is shorter than most bar cans I find. I use this one to fill with bar bottles--its height prevents it from getting too heavy with all that glass.

I love these cans with their swinging lids (buy separately). I originally bought them in 2011 for my daughter's dance studio (the matching lid works very efficiently while hiding the contents from her dance customers) and ended up bringing one home to use in my own kitchen. They are old-school Rubbermaid; three years later, they still look and work great!

You get what you pay for. Getting a trash can of this style from any other manufacture than Rubbermaid is literally throwing your cash in the trash.
