A foot pedal support mechanism is configured such that the foot pedal at the upper limit position is inclined and supported with a foot pedal rear end located directly below the waste compartment being located above a foot pedal front end away from the waste compartment and that the foot pedal rear end swings in a vertical direction by using the foot pedal front end as a fulcrum.
