Genuine Joe 57257CT 28-quart Blue Recycle Wastebasket indoor maintenance

Deskside recycle bin for offices and classrooms

The Genuine Joe 57257CT is a 28-quart blue wastebasket designed for indoor maintenance in commercial, institutional and classroom settings. Its low-profile rectangular shape slides under a desk to keep recycling out of sight until collection. The universal recycle logo on the front provides instant identification for users and cleaning staff. A pack contains 12 units for facility-wide deployment.

Low-profile rectangular build with universal logo

At 15 inches high, 14.5 inches wide and 10.5 inches deep, the bin fits tight spaces without tipping easily. The rigid plastic construction resists everyday impacts from feet or chair casters. Blue colour coding matches common recycling programmes and the moulded recycle symbol eliminates the need for separate stickers. No lid or liner is included, so emptying is a simple lift-and-dump motion.

Capacity and material limits for desk-side sorting

The 7.13-gallon volume suits paper, cans and bottles but will overflow with large cardboard boxes or heavy glass loads. Plastic walls can crack if the bin is dropped when full or used for sharp metal scrap. Because the product contains no recycled content and has no liner retention features, bags may shift during transport. Facilities needing fire-rated containers or locking lids must specify a different model.
