Using this Bradley waste receptacle is easy. Just mount it on the surface of the wall in your commercial restroom as directed. Open the hinged cover to throw away waste and close it when done. For maintenance, clean the receptacle regularly with a mild soap and water solution to keep the stainless - steel finish looking new. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface. When emptying, be careful not to overfill it beyond the 1.7 - gallon capacity to prevent spills. Also, make sure the mounting is secure at all times to avoid any accidents.
