23-Gallon Space-Saving Waste & Recycling Container
The Federal Standard for Efficiency, Durability, and Resource Management in Tight Spaces.
The Rubbermaid® Commercial Slim Jim® is the benchmark for waste management in U.S. government facilities where floor space is at a premium. With a 23-gallon capacity and an iconic narrow profile, this container is designed to fit into tight spaces—between desks, under counters, or in narrow corridors. Engineered with high-grade resin and integrated venting channels, it significantly reduces the physical strain on custodial staff, supporting workplace safety and operational efficiency in high-traffic administrative, military, and clinical environments.
Product Details
In the demanding context of federal facility operations, the Rubbermaid® Slim Jim® offers more than just waste storage; it is a tool for labor optimization. Its most critical feature—integrated venting channels—makes removing liners up to 80% easier compared to traditional containers, virtually eliminating the vacuum effect that causes worker strain and bag breakage.
Key Federal Procurement & Operational Benefits:
- Venting Channel Technology: Patented design allows air to flow into the container during lift-out, reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries for federal custodial employees and meeting OSHA-aligned ergonomic goals.
- Space-Efficient Profile: The "Slim" footprint is specifically designed to meet fire code and egress requirements in narrow hallways and busy federal office layouts.
- Extreme Durability: Constructed from high-quality, commercial-grade resin that resists denting, cracking, and UV damage, ensuring a long service life and reducing the frequency of replacement procurement.
- Cinch-Tie Integration: Four integrated liner cinches secure bags around the rim without the need for knots, speeding up turnover times and preventing messy "bag-drop."
- Sustainability & Recycling Support: Available in multiple colors and with specialized lids (sold separately) to facilitate color-coded recycling programs, helping agencies meet Executive Orders for waste diversion.
