Installing AbsorbX Odor Filters
Locate the two AbsorbX Odor Filters included in the package. Open the lids of the trash can. Each lid has a designated compartment for an odor filter. Insert one filter into each compartment. The filters help neutralize odors for up to 3 months.

Inserting Inner Buckets and Trash Bags
Place the blue inner bucket into one compartment for recycling and the black inner bucket into the other for trash. Use standard 8-10 gallon trash bags. Secure the trash bag by tucking the excess slack into the retention holes located on the inner buckets to prevent slippage and maintain a tidy appearance.

Replacing AbsorbX Odor Filters
