Genuine Joe GJO58897 Fire-safe Metal Wastebasket 6 Gallon

Product Description

The GENUINE JOE GJO58897 is a fire-safe, 6-gallon steel wastebasket designed for office, educational, and general commercial environments where fire safety compliance is required. Constructed from sturdy steel with a black polyester baked enamel finish, it will not melt or emit toxic fumes during a fire. A raised bottom separates the unit from the floor to reduce heat transfer during a fire event. The rolled wire rim adds structural durability for daily use. At 13 inches in diameter and 14 inches in height, it fits standard under-desk and open-floor placements. Facilities managers, building maintenance staff, and safety-conscious institutions install this unit where OSHA and NFPA compliance is mandated.

The GJO58897 is suited for offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and any all-purpose commercial space that requires a fire-rated waste receptacle. Its compact footprint works in tight spaces without compromising capacity. The steel construction and baked enamel finish resist denting and corrosion under normal indoor use conditions, making it a practical long-term choice for high-traffic areas where durability and compliance both matter.
