Why this pedal bin earns its place
The DY116 is a 68-litre Slim Jim step-on pedal bin in grey polyethylene, standing 802.6mm high on a 499.6mm by 310.6mm rectangular footprint. It gives a busier waste point more capacity between empties while keeping the slender Slim Jim format for compact commercial kitchens.
The manufacturer describes the resin as hygienic, non-porous and easy to clean, which matters on a bin that sits close to prep, wash-up or clearing-down routines. Grey polyethylene also gives the unit a simple, neutral finish for mixed back-of-house waste points.
Opening is by a commercial-grade foot pedal, so staff can dispose of waste without touching the lid during food handling or cleaning rounds. Rubbermaid also states that the pedal is designed for a long product lifecycle, which is the key working part on a step-on bin.
