Trash bin Staples 16 L blue model C72352

Staples 16 L blue model C72352 is a compact open-top trash bin designed for everyday dry waste collection in offices, homes and classrooms. The 16-litre capacity provides enough volume for small workstations and shared areas while the lightweight plastic construction makes the bin easy to move, empty and wash. The blue finish offers a neutral, unobtrusive appearance that fits beneath desks, beside printers or in meeting rooms where a simple, functional waste container is required.

Advantages

The bin’s molded plastic body is resistant to moisture and simple to clean with a damp cloth or mild detergent. Its open-top design allows quick disposal without a lid, reducing contact points and making it suitable for frequently used areas. The compact footprint saves floor space while the 16 L capacity balances frequency of emptying with storage needs. The neutral blue colour helps visually identify a designated waste stream or location without strong visual contrast.

Suitable for

• Under-desk waste collection in offices
• Classroom and educational spaces
• Home workstations and small kitchens
• Common areas with light, dry waste

Key specifications

• Capacity: 16 litres
• Construction: lightweight plastic
• Design: open top, no lid
• Finish: blue
• Intended waste type: general dry waste

How to use

Place the bin on a stable, flat surface such as under a desk or next to a workstation. Line the bin with an appropriately sized waste bag if preferred to simplify emptying and cleaning. Deposit dry office or household waste directly into the open top. When full, remove and tie off the waste bag or tip the contents into a larger collection container and wash the bin as needed with warm water and mild detergent; allow to air dry before returning to use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the bin for dry, non-hazardous waste only. Regularly empty and clean the bin to prevent odour and residue build-up. If separating recyclables, designate separate bins or use colour-coded liners to maintain clear sorting.
