Rubbermaid 1971259 Slim Jim 16 Gal Rectangular Trash Can Beige

Product Description

The RUBBERMAID 1971259 is a 16-gallon rectangular polyethylene waste container designed for light commercial and institutional environments. Built under the Slim Jim line, this can features integrated venting channels along the body that allow air to flow behind the liner, making bag removal fast and reducing suction resistance. Liner cinch points keep the bag secured at the rim, preventing slippage during use. At 25 inches tall, 22 inches long, and 11 inches wide, the slim profile fits flush against walls and in tight back-of-house corridors without sacrificing capacity. It weighs 6.4 pounds unloaded. Licensed contractors and facility maintenance staff in commercial accounts will recognize this as the industry-standard slim-profile can.

This container is suited for kitchens, classrooms, offices, and back-of-house service areas where floor space is limited and bag changes need to happen quickly. The rectangular footprint allows multiple units to line a wall efficiently. The beige color blends into most interior environments without drawing attention. It is not intended for outdoor use or for heavy construction debris. Typical users include janitorial staff, facility managers, and back-of-house kitchen personnel who need a reliable, stackable waste solution that handles standard 16-gallon liners.

Installation Notes

No tools or trade license required for setup. Place the container on a flat, stable surface away from high-traffic pathways where it could become a tripping hazard. When inserting a liner, route the bag over the rim and press into the cinch points before placing the can in service. Clean with a mild detergent solution; avoid solvent-based cleaners that may degrade the polyethylene over time.
