Using this waste receptacle is easy. Just open the dual swing doors on the top and toss your waste inside. The top can be removed for when you need to clean it or deal with any blockages. Make sure to place it on a flat surface so the four black rubber feet can keep it stable. When it comes to maintenance, since it's made of 304 stainless steel, you can simply wipe it down with a damp cloth to keep it clean and looking good. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the surface. Also, don't overload it beyond its 19-gallon capacity to prevent any damage.
