Rubbermaid 1779740 Round Trash Can 44 Gal White

Product Description

The RUBBERMAID 1779740 is a 44-gallon round trash can built for demanding commercial and institutional environments. Constructed from high-density polyethylene, the container holds up to heavy daily use in kitchens, food service facilities, warehouses, and industrial settings. The vented rib design adds structural rigidity while allowing airflow that reduces suction when removing liners. At 31.5 inches tall and 24 inches in diameter, it provides substantial capacity without requiring excessive floor space. USDA approval and HACCP compliance make it a direct fit for food-handling applications where sanitation standards must be documented. Licensed tradespeople, facility managers, and sanitation staff commonly specify this unit when replacing worn-out containers in regulated environments.

This trash can is suited for both indoor and outdoor commercial use including food processing plants, restaurant back-of-house areas, healthcare facilities, and industrial floor operations. The white finish aids visual inspection for cleanliness, a practical consideration in HACCP-governed spaces. The round shape integrates with standard round can liners and fits most dome or flat commercial lids designed for 44-gallon containers. It carries a CA Proposition 65 compliance listing, which is required for placement in California commercial facilities.

Installation Notes

No tools are required for placement. Position the container on a stable, level surface capable of supporting a filled load.

Inspect the container periodically for cracks or surface damage that could harbor bacteria, and replace if structural integrity is compromised.
