Detecto® White Baked Epoxy Steel Step-On Can, 48 Quart

This step-on can is built for demanding healthcare and laboratory environments, including hospitals, doctors' offices, patients' rooms, and laboratory settings. Its rugged construction, flame-retardant materials, and self-closing lid make it well suited to these high-hygiene applications.

The can features a heavy-duty foot pedal and linkage that opens the lid when pressed. The self-closing lid then shuts automatically after use, helping maintain sanitation by eliminating the need for hand contact.

A built-in bag securing mechanism holds liners firmly in position, preventing them from shifting or falling into the can during use — a particularly useful feature in clinical and laboratory settings where frequent liner changes are needed.

The white baked epoxy steel finish provides a smooth, easy-to-clean surface with a clean clinical look. Both baked epoxy steel and stainless steel finishes are available for these cans, so the choice may come down to the aesthetics or cleaning protocols of your facility.

Yes, the can comes with free bio-hazard and infectious waste adhesive labels included at no extra charge, making it ready for use in clinical waste disposal applications right out of the box.

Full-width hinges and unitized construction are built into the design specifically to support long-term, heavy-duty use. Combined with the flame-retardant materials and sturdy foot pedal linkage, these features help the can hold up to the demands of busy medical and laboratory environments.
