Product Information
Full details
The Rubbermaid Smokers Pole is designed for facility managers and business owners seeking a space-efficient, durable solution for managing cigarette waste in high-traffic outdoor areas. Constructed from fire-safe aluminum with a sleek, weather-resistant powder-coated finish, it provides a clean and professional look for commercial spaces. While it excels at containment and durability, users should note that its vertical design requires a dedicated spot where it can be secured to prevent accidental tipping in high-wind environments.

FAQs
Is the Smokers Pole fireproof?
It is constructed from fire-safe aluminum and features an oxygen-restricted design to safely extinguish cigarettes.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
The unit is designed for simple floor placement. Check your specific local retail package for included accessories.
Can I use this unit indoors?
It is designed primarily for outdoor use; check your local fire codes before placing smoking receptacles in indoor environments.
How often should I empty the pole?
Frequency depends on traffic volume, but the mid-point design allows for quick inspection and clearing as needed.
Will the black finish fade in direct sunlight?
The pole features a UV-stabilized Uni-Koat powder-coated finish specifically designed to resist fading from sun exposure.
Troubleshooting
Quick-release button is stuck or difficult to press
Clean any accumulated debris or ash buildup around the button mechanism using compressed air or a soft brush.

Ensure the bottom mounting surface is completely level and check that the base is fully seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward, though ensuring the unit is placed on a flat, stable surface is essential. Given its 1041mm height, ensure the chosen location is not prone to high winds that could knock the pole over. For routine care, wipe the powder-coated exterior with a damp cloth to maintain the black finish. When emptying, ensure the unit is completely cool. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents on the Uni-Koat finish to maintain its UV-stabilized properties over the long term.
