Four integrated venting channels run inside every Slim Jim® container. Air flows around the liner as cleaning staff lift it, breaking the vacuum that usually sticks bags to the base. Removing liners becomes up to 80% easier, which boosts productivity throughout the cleaning shift. Less pull force also reduces back and shoulder strain, cutting the risk of worker injury during bin servicing.
Modern offices, kitchens and back-of-house areas keep getting tighter. Slim Jim® bins are constructed with a narrow profile that slides between desks, behind counters and against walls where wheelie bins or skip bins simply will not fit. The durable resin body handles daily knocks without cracking or warping. You get a full 87L of recycling capacity in roughly half the floor footprint of a standard round bin.
Slim Jim® containers lift recycling rates by making sorting visible and easy. Colour-coded lids and waste stream labels show staff and visitors which bin holds paper, bottles, cans or general waste. The slim profile fits where standard lift bins cannot, so recycling stations sit close to the point of use across offices, commercial kitchens and reception areas.

A Slim Jim® bin is a tall, narrow commercial recycling container made by Rubbermaid for tight indoor spaces. The slim profile takes roughly half the floor footprint of a round bin while still holding 87L of waste. Three sizes (49L, 60L, and 87L) cover different business needs, with lid options that are ideal for any waste stream. Four venting channels inside the walls cut liner pull force by up to 80%. Discover models suitable for offices, hotels and commercial kitchens. Healthcare and education sites across Australia use them too.
Australian waste sorting follows a standard colour code that helps staff and visitors sort recycling without instruction. Red lids hold general waste or trash. Yellow is suitable for mixed recycling, bottles and cans. Blue covers paper and cardboard. Green handles organics and food waste. Slim Jim® lid inserts come in seven colours to match these waste types, with labels that promote recycling at every drop point. Easy access openings on each lid keep the right bin in use the first time.
Most offices run a three-stream station with separate bins for landfill, mixed recycling and paper. Larger sites cater for food preparation with a fourth bin for organics. To determine the right count, plan one full station for every 50 to 75 staff. Add extra bins in breakrooms and reception areas where customers and visitors gather. Visible bins close to desks lift sorting rates with ease. Efficient placement near the point of use drives higher recycling efficiency than bins parked down the hall.
Yes. Slim Jim® bases use a snap-in connector that joins bins side by side, requiring no tools or hardware. Start with the Slim Jim® Recycling Station starter kit, then add base options for each waste stream you need. You can run two to four bins as a single colour-coded recycling station for landfill, paper, bottles and cans. The connector keeps containers stable and aligned. Staff drop items into the right stream with ease, which makes the station faster to service.
Slim Jim® and BRUTE® both handle commercial waste but suit different sites. Slim Jim® has a tall, narrow shape built for indoor areas where floor space is limited. The profile fits between desks, behind counters and against walls. BRUTE® has a round body built for outdoor zones and high-traffic areas where bins handle larger volumes. Both ranges use durable resin instead of metal, which keeps them lighter and rust-proof for the long haul. Each range meets high standards for durability and worker safety. Lid options range from open tops for fast disposal to swing lids that hide trash and add security in public-facing zones. Use Slim Jim® for offices and kitchens. Use BRUTE® for loading docks, kerbside collection and compactor staging.
