Our range of commercial waste bins is built for demanding commercial environments.

Rubbermaid Commercial step-on containers are engineered for sanitary waste management. Each model offers reliable pedal action, controlled lid closure, and materials that hold up under repeated daily use.
The contamination risk increases every time hands touch a lid. Step-on containers remove that risk from the disposal process. Staff can manage waste without pausing tasks or spreading bacteria across surfaces.
Our commercial step-on containers combine practical engineering with a professional appearance. The 30L Step-On Container Red features a slow-close integrated lid damper that helps contain odors and bacteria. Its puncture-resistant plastic construction is well-suited for medical waste containment. The unit complies with FM 6920 and FM 6921 standards. It also meets OSHA and OBRA requirements for regulated environments.
For spaces where footprint matters, the Streamline™ 30L Step-On Resin Front Step White offers a slim profile that fits along walls and in corners. The internal hinge design prevents wall damage during opening. Quiet lid closure supports guest and patient comfort.
The Streamline™ 68L Step-On Resin End Step Beige delivers higher capacity in the same slim design. Factory Mutual certification confirms compliance with fire safety requirements. Premium-quality plastics handle constant use in high-traffic areas.
Different facilities generate different waste. Our range covers the specific demands of each setting.
Hospitals, clinics, and aged care homes require containers built for infection control. The red Legacy 30L Step-On Container clearly signals medical waste to clinical staff. Its quiet heavy-duty pedal supports hands-free use during patient care rounds. The slow-close lid damper reduces the release of airborne particles during the disposal of soiled materials. Compliance with FM 6920 and FM 6921 makes it suitable for containing combustible and oily waste in treatment areas.
Hotels, restaurants, and event venues need waste bins that remain discreet. The Streamline™ Step-On Container in beige blends into guest areas without drawing attention. Quiet lid closure protects the guest experience during service hours. Its slim profile fits behind reception counters or along corridor walls. The white finish suits front-of-house spaces where a bright sanitary look matters for guest impressions.
Commercial kitchens generate constant food waste during prep and service. The Streamline™ 68L Step-On Container handles higher volumes without occupying valuable floor space. End-step design allows placement against walls or between prep stations. Foot pedal operation keeps cooks and food handlers from touching lids with contaminated gloves. Premium plastics resist stains and odors caused by organic waste during long shifts.
Warehouses and production floors deal with industrial waste that damages standard bins. The Legacy Step-On Container offers puncture-resistant construction that withstands sharp offcuts and heavy materials. Its Factory Mutual certification supports compliance with safety standards for combustible waste. The heavy-duty pedal handles frequent use by maintenance crews and line workers on the plant floor.
Office kitchens, retail back rooms, and corporate washrooms need compact waste solutions. The Streamline™ 30L Front Step model fits under desks or beside cabinets without blocking foot traffic. Its small footprint enables separation of paper, cardboard, and general waste in tight spaces. The clean white finish keeps professional areas looking tidy through the daily workday.
Our range of step-on containers helps facilities manage waste with hygiene and efficiency in mind. Foot pedal operation, slim profiles, and durable construction support daily performance in any environment. The right bin protects staff, guests, and floor space at the same time.
