Rubbermaid Slim Jim Front Step-On Pedal Bin Grey 50Ltr DY115

Why this bin earns its place

The DY115 is a 50-litre Slim Jim step-on pedal bin in grey polyethylene, standing 719mm high on a 292mm by 456mm rectangular footprint. It is a mid-capacity option for a prep, wash-up or service-area waste point where a smaller pedal bin would need emptying too often.

Its soft-closing lid uses a damper system rather than a plain drop-close action. Rubbermaid states that this minimises noise and prevents the violent rush of air associated with poorer bin designs, helping the bin behave better in tight, busy commercial kitchens.

The pedal is commercial-grade, giving hands-free opening during food handling, cleaning rounds or clearing-down. That is the useful difference versus a hand-lift lid: staff can dispose of waste without adding another touch point to the routine.
