Totem features two vertically arranged compartments, saving space and making filling and emptying very easy. Each compartment has a removable bucket. It also includes a ventilated odor filter in the main lid, which helps reduce moisture and odor formation from waste. The stainless steel versions are coated to be fingerprint-resistant. The "stone" and "graphite" models come with an easy-to-clean, powder-coated steel surface.
