Safco Products 9718BL Onyx Round Mesh Wastebasket 9 gal Black

9-Gal Round Mesh Wastebasket

The Safco 9718BL Onyx is a 9-gal round steel mesh wastebasket in black. Its open mesh design suits offices, breakrooms and shared workspaces where visibility and airflow are preferred. The 13.50-in opening diameter and 19.5-in height provide practical capacity for daily disposal. It ships as a single unit ready for immediate use.

Check Opening and Height Clearance

Verify that the 13.50-in diameter fits under desks, beside printers or inside cabinet alcoves before ordering. Confirm the 19.5-in overall height clears any low shelves, monitor arms or cable trays in the planned location. Ensure the round footprint matches the floor space you have allocated for waste collection. The steel mesh construction requires a dry indoor setting.

Replaces Smaller Bins and Open Baskets

This 9-gal model replaces smaller desktop bins that overflow during busy periods. It upgrades from open plastic baskets that lack fire-resistant steel mesh and a rigid round form. The jump is worth it when a team needs a single, durable receptacle that keeps contents visible and reduces emptying frequency. First listed by the manufacturer in 2010, it remains a standard facility-maintenance choice.
