This Justrite oily waste can is essential safety equipment for any workshop, garage, or industrial setting! The 21-gallon capacity gives you plenty of space for solvent-soaked rags, wiping cloths, and other flammable waste that could pose a fire risk. Made from galvanized steel, this can is built to handle tough industrial environments while resisting corrosion. The foot-operated treadle pedal lets you open the lid hands-free - super convenient when your hands are dirty or full. The safety-designed lid only opens 60 degrees and self-closes automatically, isolating contents from ignition sources and limiting oxygen to prevent spontaneous combustion. The elevated, ventilated bottom promotes air circulation around the can, dispersing heat and reducing moisture buildup that can cause rusting. OSHA compliant for proper disposal of flammable materials like solvents, thinners, linseed oil, and combustible adhesives. The round construction and reinforced ribs add strength and stability, while the red color clearly identifies it as a safety container. Measuring about 18.375 inches in diameter and 23.437 inches tall, it fits well in most workshop layouts. UL listed and FM approved, so you know it meets rigorous safety standards. Much safer than using ordinary trash cans for flammable materials - this specialized container significantly reduces fire risks in your workplace.
