Rubbermaid Commercial Standard Series Wastebaskets 10.25 Gallon Black

Description

Product Overview

The Rubbermaid Commercial Standard Series wastebasket is engineered for demanding environments where durability, hygiene, and efficiency are paramount. Constructed from high‑density polyethylene (PE), the container offers a polished black finish that resists staining, scratches, and the corrosive effects of moisture, ensuring a professional appearance over years of use. With a generous 10.25‑gallon capacity, the rectangular design maximizes volume while maintaining a compact footprint of 15.3″ L x 11″ W x 20″ H, allowing it to fit comfortably under standard desk heights and in tight office corners.

Key structural elements include a rolled rim that reinforces the opening, preventing deformation and extending the lifespan of the lid mechanism. The swing‑lid provides a hands‑free operation that reduces the spread of germs, a critical feature for shared workspaces, reception areas, and break rooms. The all‑plastic construction eliminates the risk of rust, dents, or chipping that metal bins often encounter, making this wastebasket a low‑maintenance, cost‑effective solution for high‑traffic zones.

Usage

Designed for commercial and office environments, this wastebasket excels in a variety of settings. In corporate offices, the sleek black finish complements modern décor while the sturdy lid keeps confidential documents and waste out of sight. In educational institutions, the rust‑proof material stands up to frequent handling by students and staff, and the swing‑lid reduces the need for constant cleaning. Healthcare facilities benefit from the easy‑to‑clean surface that resists bacterial growth, and the sealed lid helps contain odors and potential contaminants.

Because the bin is lightweight at just over 2 pounds, it can be easily relocated for cleaning or reconfiguration of workspace layouts. The rectangular shape provides stability on uneven floors, and the smooth interior surface allows liners to be changed quickly without tearing. Whether placed in a reception desk, a conference room, a laboratory, or a manufacturing floor, the wastebasket delivers reliable performance day after day.
