To empty the bin, would I just turn it upside down? Is the opening big enough for a scoop?

The opening is large enough for a scoop. The bin itself however....... Doesn't work as well as I imagined. The bins don't turn well with compost, it's as if they aren't balanced so the tubs roll, no matter how you spread the interior content, always at a specific angle. The item was awkward together.

Yes, opening is big enough for a standard size spade or scoop, but I'd suggest just putting a bin, tray, box below, rolling it to a dump-a-able point and pulling/dumping the amount you want out.

I just turn it upside down with a bucket underneath, then shovel out with a little hand shovel. It would be hard to scoop it out since there is a pole through the middle, despite the opening being about 1ftx1ft.

You can put a bin or wheel barrel under and turn it as we have, or you could scoop it... its a good sized opening.

That is a good question. I have had mine since November, and it seems time to turn it. I suppose I will dump the contents on the ground, mix, and return contents to the bin. There appears to be no other way, and there were no instructions. I wish I had bought the bin that rotates, as this is little more than a plastic box with a few air vents. For the price, I would not purchase it again. It is a cheap product for too much money.

Just lift the top using the handle and then dump the bottom "bin" to empty the shreds. After you empty the bin, just replace the top and you're ready to shred again.

You must lift off the top and dump the bin. It's not that hard, the handle makes it easy.

It's pretty easy to remove. It just unsnaps from a point on each side. Honestly, I never need to take the top off. The opening is big enough for me to get in and scoop.

no idea how - its hooks to the edge of the box - honestly - if you can find a work around this is the BEST scoop - maybe use a command stick thing?

It's about the same size opening, maybe a tad smaller. You can always drop the used kitty litter down to the bottom if it gets full while cleaning the litter pan(s) if needed, so is not a problem. Just pull the gray lever out and the litter falls into the bottom part of the bag which is in the bottom of this container. There is no turning/wheel like the Litter Locker I. I find it to be simpler and just as effective in containing odors.

Yes, the lid opens such that you can use a scooper with out unscrewing the lid

The opening is 5.5 inches wide at its widest point. The scoop is about 4.5 inches wide. My observation is that this opening will indeed be too small for many scoops, and it seems very clear that the scoop that comes with the unit is custom-made for the unit. I found the small size of the scoop a bit of an adjustment, but now it's perfectly fine for me. This of course is a matter of personal preference. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. I am still absolutely sold on this product.

I guess I'm not sure what you're asking? The scoop goes into the top half of the box so if you take off the lid to clean the inside scoop is not a part of what you would be cleaning. If you just mean you are rolling it over, yes, you would want the scoop to be in. As long as you have the lid on and the scoop in the rolling procedure is virtually mess free. It's very easy to do and if you do it daily like I do with three cats it cuts down on the mess and cleaning.

If you have a big plastic bag, I suppose you couldget the end of the scooper to fit inside a bag. Best to use the smaller scoop if you want to fit scoop end inside a bag. I think just carry the poop in the scoop til you get home or get to a drain

Yes if it's emptied. I also turned mine upside down. You have to disconnect it from downspout first.

The small bin is not attached to the large bin. You can lift it off and set it aside.

The casinster near the handle collects the dirt. There is a red release tab near the side of the canister. Just pull that back. It will open the back of the canister so that you can dump what has been collected. The opening will snap shut after emptying.

It would be easier to scoop with lid off, you could go through the door it is big enough. I myself do not use clumping litter, so I dump mine.

Yes you can close the bin securely after opening it! There is room for a few small items

Yes you can. I use tall kitchen bags and they work very well. They don't stretch all the way over the rim, but you don't need them to... just center it around the flap opening. You can completely fill up the bin/bag with no problem using this system, and it keeps the bins nice and clean.
