We fully trust the Slim Jim® range from Rubbermaid following years of using it; their size, colour and accessory options mean they are super flexible, and we know the bins will last in fast-paced back of house environments.

Environment & Sustainability Manager at the National Gallery
Ian and Will made this very simple and put a lot of work into a seamless roll out. The logistical challenge of delivering the bins to the site and getting them set up in one day is not lost on me, and the team smashed it on the day.

Our housekeeping team work exceptionally hard to deliver high standards and the new equipment means that we can do our jobs more efficiently, saving time and making our jobs even more enjoyable.
