Continental 5500GY 55 Gal Round Trash Can Gray

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL 5500GY is a 55-gallon round trash can molded from high-density polyethylene. Built for high-volume waste collection, it handles demanding environments in commercial, industrial, and institutional settings. The gray color and Trash Only graphic help enforce waste-stream separation on job sites, in warehouses, and in common-area facilities. At 17.48 pounds, the can is heavy enough for stability yet manageable for repositioning. Polyethylene construction resists moisture, common cleaning chemicals, and impact, making it a practical choice for facilities staff and tradespeople managing job site waste.

This can is suited for commercial kitchens, break rooms, loading docks, warehouses, manufacturing floors, and large job sites where a full 32- or 44-gallon container falls short. The round profile fits standard can liners and pairs with compatible round lids sold separately. Facilities managers, janitorial contractors, and site supervisors typically deploy this size for high-traffic areas that generate substantial waste volume throughout a shift.

Installation Notes

No tools are required for setup. Place the can on a flat, stable surface capable of supporting the weight of a full load. When used in food service or food processing areas, follow local health code requirements for liner use and cleaning frequency. Inspect the container periodically for cracks or stress marks that could compromise containment.
