Genuine Joe GJO58897CT Fire-safe Metal Wastebasket 6 Gal

Product Description

The GENUINE JOE GJO58897CT is a fire-safe steel wastebasket designed for commercial and institutional environments where code compliance is required. Constructed from sturdy steel with a polyester baked enamel finish in black, this 6-gallon receptacle will not melt or emit toxic fumes when exposed to fire. A raised bottom design limits heat transfer to floor surfaces during a fire event. The rolled wire rim reinforces the top edge for added structural integrity. Each carton contains 6 units, making it practical for facility-wide deployment.

This wastebasket is suited for office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and other occupancies subject to OSHA and NFPA Life Safety Code 101, Section 31 requirements. At 13 inches in diameter and 14 inches in height, it fits standard under-desk and corridor placements. Janitorial staff, facilities managers, and building maintenance crews are the primary installers and end users. The black baked enamel finish resists corrosion and is easy to wipe clean during routine service rounds.
