Product Overview

The Eagle 5-Gallon Red Steel Liquid Disposal Can (Eagle model 1425) is an intermediate collection station for waste solvents, thinners, paint waste and other flammable liquids in shops, labs and production areas. The spout cap opens to an 80-degree angle and locks open, so you can empty containers into it without holding the lid, then close it to keep vapors in.

The can is 24-gauge galvanized steel with a red powder-coat finish, the standard color for flammables. A flame arrester keeps outside flame from reaching the contents, and the cap opens automatically to relieve excess internal vapor pressure. FM Approved. Made in the USA.

Expert Insights

Use a disposal can as the temporary stop between the work area and your waste drum: empty it into a properly labeled drum at the end of each shift or job, and keep the cap closed except when adding waste so vapors do not build up in the room.

Galvanized steel is the economical choice for flammable solvent waste. If your waste includes acids, caustics or other corrosives, use a white HDPE disposal can instead. For lab or high-purity waste, choose stainless steel.

Pro Tip: Keep a separate can for each incompatible waste stream and label each one with its contents, so different wastes never get mixed in the same can.
