Oily waste can with a 10-gallon capacity features a foot-operated, self-closing cover to prevent fires caused by stray sparks or spontaneous combustion. Lid opens to no more than 60 degrees and stays closed when not in use to isolate contents and limit oxygen. Its round construction and elevated base allow air to circulate around the can to disperse heat and reduce moisture buildup and rusting. Durable, steel construction with a powder-coat finish provides a high level of resistance to chemicals. Oily waste can is perfect for holding rags and cloths soaked with solvents, thinners, linseed oil, combustible adhesives and more.
