Pedal bin Rubbermaid Elite Dual Stream 39 L stainless steel rectangular with foot pedal and two plastic inner buckets

The Rubbermaid Elite Dual Stream 39 L rectangular pedal bin in stainless steel provides a hands-free waste disposal solution with integrated dual-compartment sorting. Designed with a foot pedal for smooth, hygienic opening and two removable plastic inner buckets, this pedal bin supports organized separation of general waste and recyclables in a compact footprint suitable for kitchens, offices, or shared areas.

Advantages

The stainless steel body combines durability with a neutral appearance that fits modern interiors, while the foot-operated lid reduces direct contact and improves hygiene. Two inner buckets allow continuous sorting and make emptying and cleaning straightforward. The rectangular shape maximizes usable capacity and fits neatly against walls or under counters, and the construction is aimed at long-term everyday use.

Suitable for

• Home kitchens and pantry areas where space-efficient recycling separation is needed
• Office kitchens, break rooms and small shared workspaces
• Hotel rooms or reception areas requiring a discreet, hygienic waste solution
• Small retail or service counters where compact dual-stream sorting is helpful

When it may not be suitable

This pedal bin is sized for 39 litres and compact rectangular placement; it may not be suitable for locations that require very large-volume waste collection or for industrial environments that need heavy-duty, high-capacity containers. It is intended for indoor use and may not withstand continuous outdoor exposure to weather without additional protection.

Key specifications

• Total capacity: 39 litres
• Shape: Rectangular
• Material (exterior): Stainless steel
• Inner buckets: Two removable plastic compartments for dual-stream sorting
• Operation: Foot pedal for hands-free opening

How to use

Place the bin on a level indoor surface where the rectangular form fits the intended space. Use the foot pedal to open the lid and deposit waste into the appropriate inner bucket for general refuse or recyclables. When a bucket is full, lift it out by its integrated handle for emptying and cleaning. Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and mild detergent; wash the plastic buckets with warm water and common cleaning agents as required.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 39-litre capacity meets your daily waste and recycling needs
• Ensure the rectangular footprint fits the intended placement area (against a wall or under a counter)
• Consider indoor-only use and whether stainless steel finish suits your environment
• Check that dual inner buckets align with your sorting system and waste bag sizes

Usage recommendations

To maintain performance and hygiene, use compatible-sized liners in each inner bucket, empty regularly to avoid odours, and clean both the buckets and exterior periodically. Operate the foot pedal with steady pressure and avoid forcing the lid open manually to preserve the mechanism.
