Rubbermaid® WeatherGard® Series Containers Make A Strong - And Stylish - Statement

Winchester, Va. (December 10, 2001) – The new WeatherGard® Series containers from Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP) are built to withstand the harshest weather, while maintaining a stylish appearance. They are architecturally styled to complement any outdoor environment, and built to handle the most challenging usage.

The containers are made of 3/16" steel and finished with a UV-stabilized, powder coat that resists rust and the most severe weather conditions. Key features include a dome-shaped drainage top and a cable secured lid to prevent theft. They can also be used on a variety of surfaces, as the adjustable feet can be anchored to the ground or walkway with simple hardware. Plus, the base offers anchoring capability.

At less than 33 inches high, both containers (4020, 4021) are ADA compliant making them ideal for municipalities, parks, and hospitality sites. The 20 or 32-gallon heavy-duty Brute® Liners have molded-in handles so lifting and emptying is quick and effortless. Overall, the products make a statement about style, encourage proper trash disposal and offer a practical and easy-to-maintain option for workers.
