Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

From leftover food to take away containers and even kitchen supplies, restaurants produce a lot of waste. However, there are simple steps you can take to reduce waste, increase recycling and lower your environmental impact. Not only will recycling reduce waste in the kitchen, but it will also save money and promote an environmentally friendly image for your restaurant.

One of the companies that want to make recycling easier for you and your business is Rubbermaid. They offer a wide range of products that allow you to manage and properly sort your waste, compost, plastics, and papers. Rubbermaid has containers for indoor and outdoor use, as well as mobile collection products that provide the ability to move larger loads with ease. Whether you’re looking to start a recycling program or add to an existing one, Rubbermaid has the solution for you.

Recycling prevents the emission of many greenhouse gases and water pollutants, saves energy, supplies valuable raw materials to industry, creates jobs, stimulates the development of greener technologies, conserves resources for our children's future, and reduces the need for new landfills and combustors.

Rubbermaid® Slim Jim® Waste Containers

THE SLIM JIM® CONTAINERS deliver the durability needed for commercial environments combined with new innovation to increase worker productivity. Rubbermaid added innovative product features and new accessories to their Slim Jim line, to bring you the most efficient solution for collection, transportation, and disposal of multi-stream waste and recyclables in tight spaces.

Each container features four venting channels and integrated cinches that allow for quick, knot-free liner changes. This design makes removing and adding liners up to 80% easier compared to their competitors.

Lids

Choose from 4 different lid options; Mixed Recycling, Paper, Bottles/Cans, and Closed. Lids have a restrictive lid shape to ensure the right recyclables get into the right bins. For an open top option, no insert is needed.

Stream Labels

Expertly designed waste labels feature 3 visual cues: the recycling symbol, a waste stream icon and verbiage proven to increase recycling effectiveness. Choose from 10 different waste stream labels to complete the system.

Colour-Coded

Choose from 7 different colours (Blue Red Yellow Green Brown Dark Grey Black) to ensure your staff and guests sort and place recyclables in the proper container.

BRUTE® Containers

Since 1968, BRUTE Containers have outlasted and outperformed many of the other leading brands of waste containers. Each one of the containers is designed and created with the highest quality materials. Rubbermaid is raising the bar with their already impressive waste containers. They’ve added innovative venting channels which make removing liners 50% easier. Much like the Slim Jim containers noted above, the integrated cinches secure bin liners, meaning knot-free liner changes every time. Contoured base handles improve grip, reduce strain and improve efficiency when emptying containers. Guaranteed to never fade, warp, crack, rust, peel or dent BRUTE containers are optimal for waste removal and recycling in back-of-house or in high-traffic environments.
