Slim Jim 16 gal container

The Rubbermaid Commercial 1971258 is a 16 gallon rectangular waste receptacle built from commercial-grade plastic for grounds maintenance and recycling tasks. Its slim profile fits tight spaces while the grey finish suits professional environments.

Vented channels ease liner removal

Four integrated venting channels reduce the vacuum effect when pulling full bags, making liner removal up to 80% easier than straight wall receptacles. This lowers physical strain on workers during sustained waste collection cycles.

Replaces straight wall bins

The design upgrades traditional straight wall containers by adding venting channels and four bag cinches that secure liners knot-free. Robust base and rim handles resist tearing while the rib strengthened rim prevents crushing during nested storage.

Questions about this item

Does the 16 gal Slim Jim container get heavy or hard to move when it's full all day?

The 16 gal capacity holds a large volume, but robust handles at the base and rim resist tearing and improve control while lifting and emptying, reducing strain during all-day use.

What liner size or type do I need to already have for the 1971258 to work properly?

The 4 bag cinches secure standard liners around the rim for quick, knot-free changes, so you only need appropriately sized commercial bags that fit a 16 gal rectangular container.

Will the rib-strengthened rim on this new Slim Jim crack if I stack it with my older straight-wall bins?

The rib-strengthened rim resists crushing and the step design prevents jamming when nested, allowing it to stack securely with compatible containers without damage.
