Justrite 6 Gallon Galvanized Steel Oily Waste Can, Red 09108

Description

Product Overview

The Justrite 6‑gallon oily waste can is engineered from heavy‑gauge galvanized steel, delivering a robust barrier against the corrosive effects of oils, solvents, and thinners. Reinforcing ribs add structural rigidity, while a powder‑coat finish protects the metal from rust and chemical attack, extending the service life well beyond typical laboratory or shop floor demands. The container measures 16″ x 12″ and holds up to six gallons of waste, making it an ideal size for medium‑scale operations without sacrificing valuable floor space.

One of the standout design elements is the foot‑operated self‑closing lid. The lid opens to a controlled 60° angle, limiting the amount of oxygen that can reach the contents and thereby reducing the likelihood of spontaneous combustion. Inside the lid, a SoundGard muffling pad absorbs the click‑clack of closure, creating a near‑silent operation that is especially valuable in environments where concentration and safety are paramount, such as research labs, clean rooms, or precision manufacturing facilities.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of industrial, scientific, and maintenance applications, this safety can excels wherever flammable rag disposal is required. In automotive workshops, technicians can safely deposit oil‑laden shop rags after engine repairs, knowing the container will contain any potential ignition source. In chemical laboratories, the can provides a compliant solution for disposing of solvent‑soaked wipes, meeting both OSHA and FM approval standards. The quiet foot‑operated lid also makes it suitable for use in hospitals and clean‑room environments where noise reduction is a regulatory or comfort consideration.

Because the can is constructed in the United States, it adheres to strict quality control processes that guarantee consistency across each unit. The product’s durability means it can withstand the rigors of daily foot traffic, accidental bumps, and the occasional drop without compromising its fire‑resistant properties. This reliability reduces the need for frequent replacement, delivering cost savings over the long term.

FAQ

What types of waste can be placed in this container?

The can is intended for oil‑soaked rags, solvent‑contaminated wipes, and other combustible materials. It should not be used for flammable liquids, compressed gases, or radioactive waste.

How often should the lid pad be replaced?

The SoundGard pad is designed for long‑term use. In most applications it will last the lifetime of the container, but if you notice a loss of noise reduction you can contact our support team for a replacement part.

Is the container recyclable at the end of its life?

Yes, the galvanized steel body is fully recyclable. We recommend contacting your local metal recycling facility to ensure proper disposal.

Can the container be painted to match a specific color scheme?

While the powder‑coat finish provides excellent durability, painting over it may affect the corrosion resistance. If a specific color is required, we can discuss custom‑finished options during the ordering process.

What is the recommended method for cleaning the container?

Use a mild detergent and water, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder‑coat finish. Allow the container to dry completely before returning it to service.
