Bobrick B-220816 Waste Receptacle, Heavy-duty, Floor-Standing, Foot Operated, 8-gal.

It is a free-standing floor unit, not a wall-mounted or recessed receptacle. No anchoring or wall backing is required, which also means it can be repositioned for cleaning. If you need a wall-hung or recessed unit to keep the floor clear for mopping, this is the wrong type.

Capacity is the difference. The B-220816 is offered in 8 gallon and 12 gallon sizes, both satin stainless with the same foot-operated pedestal and integrated liner clamp. Published dimensions for the 8 gallon are 11-3/8 inches wide by 12-5/8 inches deep by 21 inches high; the 12 gallon is the larger body, so if you are replacing an existing can in a fixed alcove the 8 gallon is the safer footprint.

Yes. The step-on pedestal means staff never touch the lid or body, which is why this style is specified in medical and patient-care washrooms as well as food service areas. The body is stainless steel with a satin finish, so it wipes down with disinfectant and stands up to repeated cleaning.

The receptacle has an integrated liner clamp, so a standard plastic liner is held at the rim rather than sagging into the can or showing over the top. Size the bag to the 8-gallon (30.3 liter) or 12-gallon body you order. Liners are not part of the receptacle and are ordered separately.

Yes, the B-220816 waste receptacle is UL Listed. That matters for healthcare and institutional facilities where waste containers in corridors and patient areas have to carry a listing to satisfy the facility's fire and life-safety review.

The B-220816 is satin-finish stainless steel, the same finish used across Bobrick's standard washroom accessory lines, so it reads consistently alongside satin stainless paper towel dispensers, grab bars and napkin disposals. Satin also hides fingerprints and scuffs better than a polished finish in high-traffic restrooms.

It is built as a heavy-duty unit in stainless steel rather than painted steel or plastic, which is what holds up in public and institutional restrooms where cans get kicked, moved by cleaning crews and cleaned with harsh chemicals. The wear point in any step-on can is the pedal linkage, so for extremely high-abuse locations some facilities standardize on a lidless wall or floor unit instead to remove the moving part entirely.
