Using this Bradley waste receptacle is easy. Just open the tumbler lock with the provided key, remove the waste container, and empty it when full. Make sure to lock it back securely after that. When it comes to maintenance, use a mild soap and a soft cloth to clean the stainless - steel surface regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the satin finish. Keep an eye on the lock mechanism and lubricate it occasionally to ensure smooth operation. Also, check the all - welded construction from time to time for any signs of damage or loose parts. This way, your waste receptacle will serve you well for a long time.
