Identify the problems of this waste basket.

Actually it seems to be a good design. because the lid can be open and close without touching on it. but it fails when form starts to follow the function.
here when we press on the pedal, the lid supposed to be open 90 degree to horizontal. but because of this poor design, pedal will touch on the ground so lid will not open completely(approx. 45 degrees).

so, while standing it will be difficult to put the waste into bin. another problem of this waste bin is, the inner volume of bin is actually less. since the pedal mechanism is consuming lot of space at the bottom of the waste basket.
