High tec toilet wastebins near the National Gallery, Singapore, and distracting grammar

First they need Grammarly. It should read: 'Do not dispose of' .

The word disposed does exist and could be used in the sentence: I was feeling ill-disposed. Not quite what was mean by the writer of this poster, but how I felt after noticing the grammar. I just gave a workshop on Improve your English. I am preparing another for businesses.

Diapers is American. The British would say nappies.

I was so distracted by the grammar, that I read the instructions later.

The bin on the right of the toilet has a sensor. Amazing.

Let's celebrate all the good things in Singapore.

This toilet was in the Adelphi building on the corner of Coleman street, which you pass from City Hall MRT station, on your way to the National Gallery of Singapore. The lower floors of the Adelphi have shops and eating places. Upstairs, or up the lift (Americans say elevator) are offices.
What does MCST stand for? MC means Management Corporation.
