Stainless Steel Pedal Bin | Front Step Slim Jim Bin | 50L Capacity | Rubbermaid GE938

Q: Does this bin have a separate inner bucket?

A: No, this model is designed without a plastic inner liner to maximise capacity. It uses a clever metal retainer band inside to hold the bin bag securely in place, preventing it from slipping down.

Q: How does the bag retainer band work?

A: It's a simple, robust metal arm. You simply lift it, tuck your bin liner around the rim of the bin, and then clamp the arm down to hold the bag firmly. It’s quick and  very secure.

Q: Is the Rubbermaid GE938 bin suitable for outdoor use?

A: This bin is designed for indoor use. While stainless steel is rust-resistant, constant exposure to rain and  the elements could eventually lead to corrosion and  damage the pedal mechanism.

Q: What does 'anti-fingerprint finish' actually do?

A: It's a special coating on the stainless steel that resists the oils and  smudges from fingerprints. It makes the bin much easier to wipe clean and  helps it maintain a pristine, professional look with less effort.

Q: Is the lid completely silent?

A: It features a 'slow-closing' or 'damped' lid, which means it closes smoothly and  very quietly. While not 100% silent, it prevents the loud bang typical of standard metal pedal bins.

Q: What does 'Factory Mutual Certified' mean for a bin?

A: It means the bin has been independently tested and  certified to contain a fire should one start inside it, preventing flames from escaping. It's a crucial safety standard for commercial environments.

Q: How sturdy is the front step pedal?

A: It's designed for heavy commercial use. The pedal and  internal linkage are made from high-quality components to withstand thousands of operations without failing.

Q: Can I use any standard 50L bin liners with this?

A: Yes, any good quality bin liners with a capacity of 50 litres or slightly more will fit perfectly. The retainer band ensures a snug fit even if the bag is a little large.
