What material is the bin made of?
The exterior housing is made of steel, the inner buckets are made of PP plastic, and the lid is made of ABS plastic.

Troubleshooting
Lid does not close properly.
Ensure nothing is obstructing the lid's path. Check that the inner bucket is seated correctly and not overflowing. Avoid manually forcing the lid down.
Pedal feels stiff or unresponsive.
Check for any debris or obstructions around the pedal mechanism. Ensure the bin is not placed too close to a wall or other objects that might impede pedal movement.
Inner bucket is difficult to remove or insert.
Empty the inner bucket completely. Ensure the steel frame for the bin bag is correctly positioned. Wipe the inside of the outer bin and the outside of the inner bucket if there is any sticky residue.
Odors persist even after emptying.
Clean the inner buckets thoroughly with a mild detergent and water. Consider using baking soda in the bottom of the inner bucket to absorb odors. Ensure the soft-close lids are functioning to minimize air circulation.
