Paper towel dispenser

 
Wikipedia: Paper towel dispenser
An automatic paper towel dispenser

A paper towel dispenser is a device that dispenses paper towels in a public restroom when in use. It can either be operated by a handle or automatic.

These dispensers are common in North America and other western countries. They are either used to replace hand dryers or used in tandem to offer users alternatives to drying their hands. Some areas opt not to use them as towels create litter and are less environmentally friendly.

Paper

The paper in the dispenser can be either white, light blue or brown. Some are similar to paper towels and have perforations to allow them to be ripped off, while others consist of stacked sheets. A third kind of paper towel is torn by an integrated blade.
