Space is the constraint every facility works around. Corridors are narrow, kitchens are crowded, and back-of-house areas fill quickly, yet waste and recycling bins still have to be collected, sorted, and moved efficiently without getting in the way. Rubbermaid Slim Jim® containers are built for exactly these conditions, packing high waste capacity into a slim, space-saving profile that fits where standard round bins cannot. The Slim Jim® range covers vented containers, under-counter bins, confidential document containers, complete recycling stations, and a full set of interchangeable, color-coded lids. Made from durable, commercial-grade plastic containing post-consumer recycled resin (PCR) that exceeds EPA guidelines, every container is engineered to improve productivity, promote commercial recycling use, and withstand daily use across facilities throughout the APAC region.
READ MOREA Slim Jim® container is a slim, rectangular waste bin designed to deliver high collection capacity from a narrow footprint. That shape is what lets it sit between prep benches, under counters, or along busy walkways without crowding the work area, and what has made it the standard for space-saving waste management in commercial settings.
The real advantage shows up in daily handling. Integrated venting channels create airflow as you lift a liner, releasing the vacuum that normally fights you and reducing the pull force required to remove a full bag by up to 80%. Bag cinches secure liners around the rim for fast, knot-free liner changes, while robust handles at the base and rim improve grip and control when emptying. A rib-strengthened rim resists crushing, and the step design stops containers from jamming when nested for storage. Add an interchangeable colour-coded lid and any container becomes a clear recycling point, helping teams sort general waste, paper, bottles, cans, and compost correctly the first time.
Across the APAC region, Slim Jim® containers solve specific problems in specific environments. The range below pairs the right container, lid, or recycling station with the job it was built to do.
The Slim Jim® Confidential Document Container is purpose-built for office spaces and other environments where paper cannot simply go in an open bin. In healthcare settings, it sits at nursing stations and reception counters; in corporate offices and property management, it tucks under desks and beside print stations.
A side-entry slot accepts paper for proper disposal, while a standard keyed lock keeps contents secure, providing a comprehensive solution that helps meet confidential-document requirements such as HIPAA. Each unit ships fully assembled for immediate use, so it is ready to protect sensitive records the day it arrives.
By using these containers in office spaces, businesses can promote recycling and ensure secure, efficient waste management.
Commercial kitchens generate constant waste in spaces where there is rarely room to spare. The Vented Slim Jim® 87L Container slots into the gaps between prep benches and dish pits, and its venting channels let staff pull and tie heavy, wet liners in seconds rather than fighting suction mid-service.
Where bench space is even tighter, the Slim Jim® 50L Under-Counter Container fits beneath pass-throughs and bar stations, with a large angled opening that gives line cooks and bartenders 2X more easy access than traditional slim bins. Both keep collection fast and floors clear during peak periods.
In hospitality and public spaces, waste points need to look tidy out front and work hard behind the scenes. The Slim Jim® Swing Lid gives guests easy access for disposal, then swings back to hide trash from public view in lobbies and function spaces.
To turn the same containers into a clear recycling system, add interchangeable color-coded tops: the Recycling Paper Lid for offices and event spaces, the Slim Jim® Hinge Lid for no-touch disposal, and the Handle Top for general refuse. Swapping the lid changes the stream without changing the bin.
Schools and universities move large volumes of waste through cafeterias, libraries, and common areas with heavy foot traffic. The Slim Jim® Recycling Station Starter Kit delivers a front-of-house look with back-of-house functionality, helping students and staff sort recyclables correctly through intuitive lid openings.
Add the 1-Stream Compost Recycling Station to capture organics, and use Recycling Station Billboards and Lid Inserts to give each waste stream a distinct color and label. Components snap in place without hardware, so facilities can build the exact stream count they need and connect stations together as the recycling program grows.
Retail stockrooms and back-of-house areas juggle packaging, cardboard, and general waste in cramped spaces with staff who are also covering the floor. The slim footprint of vented Slim Jim® containers keeps aisles and storerooms walkable, while venting channels make frequent liner changes faster so teams spend less time on the bins and more on the customer. The nesting step design keeps spare containers compact when not in use, and color-coded lids let stores separate recyclable packaging from general waste to support sustainability targets.
Every facility has different streams, spaces, and volumes, and the Slim Jim® range is built to fit them. Match the right container, lid, and recycling station to your environment, then connect components into a complete, adaptable recycling solution that grows with your needs.

The integrated venting channels are the difference. As you lift a full liner, the channels create airflow that releases the vacuum holding the bag in place, reducing the pull force required and making liner removal up to 80% easier. Bag cinches secure liners for knot-free changes and robust base and rim handles improve grip, so handling is faster, productivity improves, and the risk of worker injury during frequent changeovers is reduced. This design verifies high standards in waste management efficiency and supports sustainable practices by reducing waste and saving money on labor.
Start with the streams you need to capture, such as general waste, paper, bottles and cans, mixed recycling, and compost. The Slim Jim® Recycling Station Starter Kit lets you build that configuration by selecting a color and waste stream label for each stream and adding hinged lid inserts sized to the recyclables. Components snap in place without hardware, billboards and labels make each stream clear, and stations connect together so recycling collection scales as needs grow. This system helps property owners improve sorting efficiency and promotes green, sustainable waste management.
Yes. They are designed for placement under desks, at nursing stations, and beneath counters. A side entry slot allows easy paper disposal while a standard keyed lock provides the security needed to help meet confidential-document requirements such as HIPAA. They ship fully assembled and are ready for proper disposal of sensitive documents on delivery.
The Slim Jim® 50L Under-Counter Container is purpose-built for space-efficient disposal beneath counters. Its large angled opening provides 2X more access than traditional slim bins, and the slim body keeps the footprint small. It shares the same venting channels, bag cinches, and base and rim handles as the wider Slim Jim® range.
Both. Interchangeable, color-coded tops, including swing lids, hinge lids, handle tops, and recycling paper lids, let you change a container's purpose simply by swapping the lid. Recycling lids fit 16 Gal and 23 Gal Slim Jim® containers in open top, bottles/cans, paper, and mixed recycling openings. The containers themselves are made of durable plastic containing post-consumer recycled resin (PCR) that exceeds EPA guidelines, supporting your sustainability goals and helping reduce waste effectively.
