Rubbermaid 1 gal Recycling Bin

The Rubbermaid FG295073BLA is a one-gallon rectangular recycling bin made from polyethylene in black. It is designed for indoor use and sits stationary on the floor or a desk. The open-top container suits environments that collect bottles, cans or paper separately from general waste. Offices, classrooms or home workspaces needing a small dedicated recycling point will find it fits unobtrusively in tight corners.

Open-Top Design Constraints

The bin has no lid, so contents remain visible and odours are not contained. Its 11 1/2 inch height and 7 1/4 inch width limit the size of items that can be dropped in. The single opening accepts one waste stream only, so separate bins are required for mixed recycling programmes. The stationary base means it cannot be wheeled to a collection point when full.

Check Space and Waste Stream Needs

Measure the available floor or surface area against the 10 1/2 inch depth and 7 1/4 inch width before ordering. Confirm that an open-top container meets local hygiene or fire-safety guidelines for the intended location. Verify that a one-gallon capacity matches the volume of recyclables generated between collections. Ensure the rectangular shape aligns with the planned layout alongside other bins.
