Tips and Troubleshooting
• Use TK10XL for kitchen trash—including food waste when composting is not an option—
and all recyclables
EXCEPT GLASS.
• Make sure all packaging is removed from TK, especially in the lid and around the CD.
• Begin compacting when trash is half full and repeat until bag is filled.
• Open the bottom of cardboard boxes (like cereal and cracker boxes) for easier compaction.
• Discard plastic containers with lids off for easier compaction.
Cleaning
• Regularly rinse the CD in the kitchen sink.
• Clean CD thoroughly with warm soapy water as needed.
DO NOT submerge in water or place in dishwasher.
• Wipe surfaces with a soft damp sponge or lemon oil.
• Deep clean stainless steel can and plastic liner outdoors
using a soft sponge and soapy water. We recommend
the garden hose for a rinse!
