Is this open bottom or closed? I bought a similar trash can and the can has an open bottom so doesn't keep odor locked away.

The can itself is totally closed in and closes tightly enough, so it does contain odors. I remove the inner plastic liner and air it out outside every week or so.

There is no odor, the bottom only says Made in china. There is no indication anywhere what kind of plastic it is made from. It is a heavy gauge plastic with no give if you squeeze it. It is a nice little watering can I would recommend.

I agree with the previous answer. The cover closes flush so the only usual way to open the lid is to step on the floor pedal. BTW, this is the best trash we have owned!

No.No Way.I installed a waste bucket with a lid and the lid keeps odors sealed in.Very happy with the results.

No, the bottom is closed. The door opens to obtain your compost. I love this product!

I've never smelled anything when the lid is closed. I do dump it daily and rinse it out as well.

I know there is a space on the bottom that is open, but it's not that big. Hope this helps.

It stays open if you put it all the way open! It knocks down pretty easily. But it's the best trashcan ever!!

The short answer is "I don't know". There is no recycle code on the bottom. The plastic is hard and has no odor whatsoever - it seems quite inert.

It is not airtight. We have it hanging outside which is working out great. If it was inside, I believe you would smell the poop. We put a piece of cardboard down the middle as this allowed us to store bags on one side and the poop on the other. Hope that helps.

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.

I don't think your dogs can figure it out, the lid locks down. It is a 3 step process to open the container. The lid does not come off, but needs to be fully opened to stay up. When the container is locked there is no smell of dog food emitted from the inside.

The bottom is open. I have mine sitting in a corner of my yard on the ground.

Mine came with two pieces of plastic that hold the lid open just a little. I leave those in when not using so that it can air out a little. I also run it with baking soda every now and then to help absorb the smell. It isn't as strong as it was when it was new but it still has a soft lingering of new smell.

I didn't notice an odor. When you get it, let it sit opened up for a day , if that's a concern.

I leave the metal top locks open... Our dog isn't interested and it doesn't smell. You do have to lift the lid with your hand, which may or may not be easier than a foot pedal... Your choice! We use it with washable pail liner bags.

There's a lid on top that you open to dispose of the litter waste. Inside is a plastic bag that catches the waste. It stores the waste out of sight and traps any odor inside.
