The Rubbermaid Slim Jim 60 litre waste and recycling bin is designed for commercial environments where space is limited but waste volumes remain high. Its narrow footprint allows it to fit comfortably alongside workstations, under counters or in corridors, making it ideal for facilities where standard bins take up too much usable space.
Unlike traditional bins, the Slim Jim incorporates integrated venting channels which allow airflow between the liner and container. This reduces the vacuum effect when removing full bags, making liners easier to lift and helping reduce strain during emptying. In busy environments such as hospitals, schools, kitchens and office facilities, this improves efficiency and reduces handling effort for cleaning teams.
The Slim Jim range is designed as a complete waste management system rather than a standalone bin. A wide range of compatible lids allows the container to be adapted for general waste, mixed recycling or specific waste streams. This makes it particularly suitable for organisations preparing for or complying with Simpler Recycling requirements, where clear separation of waste streams is increasingly important.
The stocked grey version is available on a fast lead time, while additional colours can be supplied where colour-coded waste separation is required.
With the introduction of the Simpler Recycling legislation 2025, our Simpler Recycling Slim Jim Mixed Recycling Bin - 60 Litre is also the perfect bin to use for your business.
Designed for space efficiency
Commercial spaces continue to become more space constrained, particularly in offices, healthcare settings and commercial kitchens. The Slim Jim’s narrow design allows higher capacity waste collection without increasing floor space requirements, making it easier to introduce multiple recycling streams where space is limited.
Easier liner removal
Integrated venting channels allow air to flow between the bin and liner, reducing resistance when removing full bags. This can make liner removal significantly easier compared to traditional containers, improving productivity and reducing manual handling effort.
Flexible recycling setup
Interchangeable lids and waste stream labels allow bins to be repurposed as requirements change. This reduces replacement costs and allows facilities to adapt waste management layouts without replacing containers.
