Justrite MFG Waste Carry Can
Justrite MFG Waste Carry Cans: Built for Serious Workplace Safety
When it comes to the safe disposal of solvent-soaked rags, oily cloths, and other flammable waste materials, few names carry as much authority as Justrite MFG. Founded in 1906, Justrite has spent well over a century engineering safety products that protect workers, equipment, and facilities from preventable fires — and their Waste Carry Cans are a prime example of that commitment in action.
Why Flammable Waste Disposal Demands the Right Can
It might be easy to underestimate the fire risk posed by used shop rags and cloths — but the science tells a different story. Rags soaked with solvents, thinners, linseed oil, combustible adhesives, and other flammable liquids present a serious fire hazard when improperly discarded. As oils oxidize during drying, they can trigger an exothermic reaction that leads to spontaneous ignition — a phenomenon that has caused countless industrial and shop fires.
This is precisely the problem that Justrite Waste Carry Cans are designed to solve. Constructed from galvanized steel — a fire-resistant material specifically required by OSHA 29 CFR 1926.252(e) — these cans form a robust, durable barrier between flammable contents and the surrounding environment.
Key Features of Justrite Waste Carry Cans
- Self-Closing Lid: The lid opens to no more than 60 degrees and stays closed when not in use, limiting oxygen inside the container and shielding contents from sparks and external heat sources — virtually eliminating the risk of spontaneous combustion.
- Foot-Operated Pedal: Hands-free lid operation keeps workers safe and efficient, especially in busy shop environments where hands may be contaminated.
- Elevated Base & Round Construction: The round body and raised base promote air circulation around the can to disperse heat and minimize moisture build-up and rusting over time.
- Powder-Coat Finish: A durable powder-coated exterior provides strong chemical resistance against solvents, acids, and alkalis for long service life.
- Swinging Carry Handle: Makes the can conveniently portable for dynamic, multi-station work environments like automotive shops and manufacturing floors.
- Third-Party Certified: Justrite Waste Carry Cans carry approvals from FM (Factory Mutual), UL/ULC (Underwriters Laboratories), and TÜV, and are fully OSHA compliant.
- Ten-Year Warranty: All Justrite oily waste disposal safety containers are backed by an industry-leading ten-year warranty — a testament to their build quality.
