Rubbermaid Commercial 254300BG Fire-Resistant Wastebasket 7 gal Beige

Industrial Wastebasket

The Rubbermaid Commercial 254300BG is a 7 gal rectangular wastebasket built from fiberglass for industrial and hospital environments. Its fire-resistant construction meets UL rating requirements for safer disposal of general waste. The thermoset polyester material resists heat and impact while the textured finish helps conceal surface scratches from daily use. Smooth corners and contours simplify cleaning in high-traffic facilities.

Sustained Durability

Fiberglass construction prevents chipping, denting and rust even after years of continuous service in demanding settings. Thermoset polyester retains structural integrity under repeated thermal exposure without warping or degrading. The textured surface maintains its appearance despite frequent contact with cleaning equipment and waste materials. Liquid-injected molding creates consistent wall thickness that withstands heavy loads without distortion.

Capacity and Material Limits

The 7 gal volume suits individual workstations or small common areas rather than high-volume collection points. Fiberglass performs reliably within normal indoor temperature ranges but is not rated for extreme heat sources or direct flame contact. Rectangular shape fits flush against walls yet offers less capacity than round containers of similar footprint. Textured finish masks minor abrasions but deep gouges from sharp objects remain visible.
