Rubbermaid 50 Gal. Blue Stationary Recycling Container, Open Top

General

Square plastic recycling cans are used in mail rooms, copy rooms, break areas, and other locations where high volumes of recyclables are collected. They can be used to collect a variety of recyclables, including paper, cans, and plastic. The square shape allows these cans to be placed flush against a wall or in a corner to save floor space. Square cans generally have a higher capacity than round cans with a similar footprint.

Plastic recycling bins and cans used to collect recyclable materials resist fading, cracking, corrosion, and denting. Plastic recycling bins are generally lighter than metal, making them easier to handle when full. Small-capacity wastebaskets are used to collect recyclables under desks and in areas with limited floor space, while larger cans are used near copy machines, in break rooms, or wherever larger amounts of recyclables are encountered.
