5 gal Steel Mesh Wastebasket

The Safco 9717BL is a 5 gal round wastebasket made from black steel mesh. Its welded construction and powder coat finish are built for daily office use. The open mesh allows air to circulate, which helps reduce moisture and odour. It measures 13 inch opening diameter and 14.5 inch height.

Suitable Settings and Limits

This deskside bin suits offices, meeting rooms and reception areas where a compact, all-purpose receptacle is needed. The steel mesh withstands general paper waste and light debris. It is not intended for heavy industrial refuse, liquid containment or environments requiring a lid or foot pedal.

5 gal Capacity Decides Fit

The 5 gal volume determines how much waste the basket holds before emptying. Match this capacity to the expected traffic and collection schedule for the location. If the volume is too small, the bin will overflow; if it is too large, it wastes floor space.

Questions about this item

Will the powder-coat finish on the steel mesh need touch-up or replacement over time?

The powder coat is applied for durability and resists chipping under normal office use; no scheduled touch-up is required.

What stops me from filling the basket past its 5 gal capacity during a busy day?

The 13" opening diameter and 14.5" height set the physical limit; once waste reaches the rim the basket is full.

Does the all-steel mesh construction make the basket hot or noisy when it sits by a desk all day?

The open mesh allows air flow, so the basket stays at room temperature and makes no noise of its own.
