Its slim profile allows it to fit under a work surface, in a corner of an office, or in a corridor without obstructing traffic. It accepts all lids in the range, which are interchangeable as needed.

The Slim Jim 87L collector: a large, compact bin

The Slim Jim 87L is the benchmark model for communal spaces and high-traffic areas: open-plan offices, company corridors, catering areas, and reception halls. Its width of 279 mm remains the same as the 60L, but its increased height and depth allow it to handle significant volumes of waste between emptyings. It is the model most commonly found in multi-stream recycling station configurations.

For reception areas and visible sorting zones, Rubbermaid offers Slim Jim recycling stations in kit form: 2 to 4 collectors combined in a unified display frame, with color-coded lids and flow indicator panels. This turnkey configuration provides clear signage and a polished image for company lobbies, cafeterias, and event spaces.
