Rubbermaid 1971968 65 Gal Eye Care

65 Gal Step-On Waste Receptacle

The Rubbermaid 1971968 is a high-capacity container built for general waste collection in facility environments. Its square footprint and step-on pedal allow hands-free operation, keeping staff focus on the task at hand. The 65 Gal volume suits high-traffic areas where frequent emptying would disrupt workflow. Durable metal and plastic construction withstands daily commercial use.

Integrates With Existing Waste Streams

The receptacle accepts standard liners and fits alongside current recycling or landfill stations without reconfiguring floor plans. Hands-free lid lift reduces cross-contamination risk in healthcare or food-service zones. Square geometry nests tightly against walls or other bins, reclaiming aisle space that round containers waste. No power or plumbing connections are required for deployment.

Pedal Mechanism Changes Daily Routine

The integrated step pedal removes the need to touch a lid surface, cutting a common vector for grime transfer. Staff can dispose of waste while carrying loads in both hands, maintaining pace during peak periods. Metal hinge components resist fatigue better than all-plastic alternatives, lowering replacement frequency. Gray finish masks scuffs, keeping the unit looking professional longer.
