The Safco Half Round Receptacle is a practical choice for offices, shared spaces, and other indoor areas where a waste container needs to use floor space efficiently. Its half-round profile sits flat against a wall, while the black finish gives it a restrained appearance that can blend with a range of interiors.

Who should consider the Half Round Receptacle?
This receptacle makes the most sense for buyers managing narrow walkways, wall-side collection points, or higher-traffic areas where a conventional round wastebasket would project farther into the room. Safco also describes the design as suitable for configuring two cans together, which can help create a dedicated waste-and-recycling station.
It is intended for indoor use rather than exterior placement. Buyers looking for a compact commercial receptacle with a metal construction and no assembly requirement will find the specification set straightforward.
Lid options for different collection needs
The Half Round Receptacle includes three lid styles: slot, round, and half-circle. That range lets buyers select the opening that best matches the intended collection point. The product is also furnished with decals, helping identify the receptacle for waste or recycling use without relying on a separate labeling purchase.
- Slot lid: A focused opening for controlled disposal.
- Round lid: A conventional option for general waste collection.
- Half-circle lid: A profile that complements the receptacle’s wall-oriented shape.
Size, materials, and placement
The receptacle measures 17.5 inches wide, 9 inches deep, and 32.5 inches high. Its shallow 9-inch depth is the key space-saving dimension for wall placement. The construction uses metal, with steel listed as the primary material, and the finished product weight is 7 pounds. The model is supplied in a black finish.
The product page describes the wastebasket as having a 15-gallon capacity, while the technical specifications list 12 gallons. Because those figures differ, buyers should confirm the required capacity with Safco or a representative before finalizing a space plan or collection program.
What to weigh before buying
Start with the available wall depth and the traffic pattern around the receptacle. The half-round form is advantageous where projection into the room matters, but the unit still requires adequate clearance for users to approach the opening and for staff to remove collected material.
Next, choose the lid according to the collection behavior you want to encourage. The included decals support basic identification, while the choice among slot, round, and half-circle openings gives the receptacle flexibility across different waste and recycling locations.
Finally, confirm the capacity listing and make sure an indoor, metal receptacle fits the environment. For buyers prioritizing a compact footprint, multiple lid configurations, and a wall-friendly silhouette, the Safco Half Round Receptacle is a focused option rather than a one-size-fits-all waste container.
