Using this Bradley waste receptacle is easy. Just open the tumbler lock with the key and place your waste inside the removable receptacle. When it's full, remove the receptacle and empty it. For regular maintenance, wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner to keep the satin finish looking great. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. Also, make sure the lock is working properly to keep the receptacle secure. If you have any issues, contact Bradley support.
