The Rubbermaid Commercial Brute trash can lid is a round, injection-molded, HDPE snap-on lid for use with the Rubbermaid Commercial Brute 2655 trash can (sold separately). HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is stronger than LDPE (low-density polyethylene) and resists moisture and certain chemicals. An ultraviolet (UV) stabilizer minimizes fading and discoloring. This garbage can lid can support compliance with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Principles and Application (HACCP) food safety guidelines and is included in the list of accepted meat and poultry equipment published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service. It meets National Sanitation Foundation/American National Standards Institute (NSF/ANSI) Standard 2 for use in food handling and processing and NSF/ANSI Standard 21 as a thermoplastic garbage can intended for the indoor or outdoor storage of refuse.
Trash cans are used for the disposal and temporary storage of garbage. They are typically made of plastic or metal and sometimes have a top or lid to contain odors and waste. Certain garbage cans meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for the disposal of medical waste or National Sanitation Foundation/American National Standards Institute (NSF/ANSI) requirements for food handling and processing. Other waste containers include a lock to prevent unauthorized access, safeguard confidential materials, and comply with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements. Waste bins can also be color-coded to facilitate the separation of recyclable waste, such as bottles, cans, paper, and general refuse. Ash/trash can receptacles typically include an ashtray on top for cigarette disposal. Trash cans are used in virtually all commercial and industrial environments.
Rubbermaid manufactures cleaning, organizing, and material handling products for commercial, medical, and industrial applications. The company, founded in 1933, is headquartered in Huntersville, NC.
