Using this waste receptacle is easy. Just mount it on the surface where you need it. Then, place the removable plastic waste container inside. When it's full, simply take out the container, empty it, and put it back. To keep it looking great, clean the stainless - steel body with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth regularly. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the matte black finish. Also, don't overload the waste container to maintain its leak - proof function.
