Oily Waste Cans

Justrite Oily Waste Cans - Dispose of oil soaked rags and protect your facility from fires that can start due to spontaneous combustion, sparks, and careless use of smoking material

OSHA compliant Oily Waste Cans are essential whenever solvent cloths and wiping rags are used. Rags and cloths soaked with solvents, thinners, linseed oil, combustible adhesives and other flammable liquids present a serious fire risk when improperly discarded. The specially designed lid opens no more than 60 degrees and stays closed when not in use, isolating contents from fire sources and limiting oxygen so spontaneous combustion risk is virtually eliminated. Round construction and elevated bottom encourage circulation of air around can to disperse heat and reduce moisture build-up and rusting. A variety of sizes accommodate your specific need. Choose either red or yellow, or both when color identification is desired to help segregate materials or to differentiate department location sites. All feature galvanized steel body construction with a durable powder paint finish. Most sizes are also offered with a hand-operated cover if preferred.
