Rubbermaid Commercial Products Slim Jim Trash Can, Gray, 23-Gallon

I bought these bins for my local Mosque as our community is trying to increase our efforts to recycle, reduce waste, etc... We had nothing but trash cans before so I purchased 4 of these to disperse throughout our building. So far they have been sturdy enough and durable enough. We've not had them very long so I'm not sure how well they will hold up over time. They do say their are commercial products so I'm hoping they will be as sturdy and durable as they claim. The size is nice it's tall and slim so it can fit in many places but unfortunately the recycling symbol is only on the side. So when it's up against our other bins with the narrow side out many people don't see the symbol. If we turn it on it's side so that the long side is out with the symbol visible then it takes up a lot more unnecessary space. I only purchased the bins (we have limited funds and recycling bins have fallen towards the bottom of the list of necessities for many years) but as soon as more funds are available I want to purchase the covers which make it clear that bottles should go in the bins. Maybe it's just our Muslim community but people just do not listen (despite signs right over the bin about what you can and cannot throw in it) to what we say about putting recycling in the bins. Every day I find garbage in the bins (which we have to sort out) and recycling in the garbage. So if you can I highly recommend getting the appropriate lids (their almost the same price as the bins which I think is ridiculous) so that it makes it even more painfully obvious for the lazy to know what goes in the bin and makes it more difficult to put things that don't belong in them. I really believe that the recycling symbol should be on all sides but at a minimum one large and one small side so that it's obvious no matter which way it's used. The price on this bin is better than I found on similar bins locally by about $15 but I still feel the price was too high. $35 seems high for a trash bin. A regualar bin could be purchased for much less and had I found a blue one I might have just spray painted or put a vinyl decal on the bins to make them recycling bins. Unfortunate I did not find any bright blue trash bins at that time. They feature a cinch system that's supposed to make it easy to hold the bag in place but nobody ever seems to take advantage of it even after I pointed it out. I guess old habits die hard so I'm not holding out any hope of our cleaning crew making use of the feature but it seemed to work well enough when I tried it. I'm not sure how helpful the vent channels are... the bag didn't get stuck but the we haven't had much problem with that, perhaps because our recycling is generally filled with bottles and other lightweight trash items that it doesn't create as much of a suction.

I have looked for the perfect bin for recycle for years. These are THE BEST! They aren’t cheap, but they are sturdy and you will never need to replace them. They are thinner than round cans, but hold more and are an efficient use of space.

Needed a trash can for my small narrow galley kitchen that would sit flush against the wall and not take up too much space, but big enough that I wouldn’t have to toss the trash daily (dumpster is far from my unit). Price was a bit steep for plastic trash can, but it’s sturdy, well-made, and worth the price. Purchased the black 16 gal, and use 30 gal. trash bags which work due to the width. Love it! I prefer a lid, so purchased one specifically for this trash can, sold separately.

The slim trash can is a practical solution for keeping recyclables organized and neatly contained in the kitchen. It fits well in limited spaces and serves its purpose effectively. I'm very happy with this purchase.

It’s a solid trash can that holds a lot and doesn’t take up much space. We went through many kitchen trash cans and our dog conquered every one of them except this one. We even had one with a lid that opened with a foot pedal and our dog figured it out within a week. We use Hefty 30 gallon bags with our Slim Jim. The bags fit great except they don’t reach the bottom of the trash can, so I made a 6 inch tall wood platform to put inside the trash can at the bottom. I also made a 12 inch wood platform to place the trash can on to get the top up higher so our long legged dog can’t grab anything out of the trash. That was six years ago and it’s been working great. We paid $30 for the Slim Jim back in 2020, but now it sells for over $50. We didn’t want a lid, but if you do it will cost you even more money. You might find it cheaper if you shop around at home improvement stores. I can see this trash can lasting 30 plus years indoors.

This is a good quality, sturdy trash can. I like the light gray color and it definitely has a good thickness. I am actually using it to store rakes/etc. in the garage vs. as a trash can. My one gripe is that this brand is so expensive compared to others. And it is a lot cheaper just picking up at a box store. I hope that means the quality is better, but hard to tell at this point!

Makes recycling so much easier. I bought three of them for various recycling. They are compact, easy to move and manageable when taking to the recycling center. Makes life a lot easier!!

I bought this trash can to recycle cans and it says it is a 23 gallon can but when I put a 30 gallon bag in it the cans pulled the trash bag down into it so I bought some 33 gallon bags and they work perfectly. It is a very stout can and I think it will do well for my use.

Really good size bin, I bought 3 to separate the waste. Really ideal size and good quality. The also look good considering they are for waste. Lids work on a counter a counter balance principle which means they close on their own.

Parfaite pour une famille

Super Produkt, hochwertige Verarbeitung, gute Qualität, für meine Restaurantküche ein super Format, eben Rubbermaid!!

These slim recycling bins work well for us. The holes on the edges to tie in the bags aren't something that works with the bags we use, but other than that we really like these recycling bins that we use in a rental cottage.
