Rubbermaid FG257088BLA Groundskeeper Smoking Receptacle

Product Description

The RUBBERMAID FG257088BLA GroundsKeeper Smoking Receptacle is a freestanding outdoor cigarette disposal unit built from galvanized steel with a black powder-coat finish. Standing 36 inches tall, it provides a stable, ground-level collection point for cigarette waste in high-traffic exterior environments. The unit holds 0.85 gallons (US), giving facilities staff a practical capacity between service intervals. Its all-metal construction is suited for year-round outdoor exposure, and the freestanding design requires no wall anchoring or post mounting during basic deployment.

This receptacle is designed for outdoor commercial and institutional settings where controlled cigarette disposal is required. Typical installations include building entrances, outdoor courtyards, hotel drop-off areas, parks, and outdoor shopping mall common areas. Facilities managers, groundskeeping crews, and commercial janitorial contractors are the primary installers and service personnel. The 36-inch standing height makes the unit accessible without requiring users to bend, which suits high-volume pedestrian areas.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by facilities or groundskeeping staff.

Empty and service the collection chamber regularly to prevent overflow and fire hazard. Follow all local ordinances regarding designated smoking area placement and waste disposal.
