Menetelmälle on pääasiassa tunnusomaista se, että apusäiliön yläreuna on kiinnitetty säilytystilan yläreunaan, jolloin apusäiliö on yläreunastaan avoin ja jätteet pudotetaan sitä kautta apusäiliön sisään ja että apusäiliö tyhjennetään pohjaosan kautta siihen muodostetun avattavan ja suljettavan aukon kautta. Jätteet voidaaan pudottaa apusäiliöön vain avaamalla säilytystilan kansi.

receiver
I guess that ’apusäiliö’ is a receiver where the waste is first dumped, and then the waist is dropped into the main container by opening the hatch at the bottom of the receiver. The purpose of the receiver may be to prevent gas, fumes, smell, dust, greenhouse gases or similar from escaping out of the container.
Of course, ‘auxiliary container’ is a word-for-word translation of the Finnish expression, and thus acceptable, but ‘receiver’ is more informative.
More informative term like ‘syöttösäiliö’ could also be used in Finnish text; among many other clarity improvements that the Finnish text obviously (desperately?) needs.

Damn the English orthography! 'waist' should be 'waste'.
