Using your Bradley paper towel dispenser and waste receptacle is a breeze. First, for the paper towel part, open the door using the key for the tumbler locks. Place either multi - fold or C - fold paper towels inside, depending on your preference. Close the door securely. When someone needs a towel, they can simply pull one out from the dispenser. For the waste receptacle, just lift the door and throw your trash inside. As for maintenance, clean the stainless - steel surfaces regularly with a mild cleaner to keep them looking shiny. Check the locks and hinges occasionally to make sure they're working properly. Also, empty the waste receptacle when it gets about three - quarters full to avoid overflow. When refilling the paper towels, make sure they're loaded neatly so they dispense smoothly.
