Does this have a tight seal to minimize odors?

Absolutely, it is amazing how it controls odor. You will not be disappointed.

Yes this is the first trash can I've had that actually contains the smell well.

The simplehuman can is not "hermetically" sealed, but it does have a firm, reasonably tight lid closure. I would still not leave odiferous material in any waste can for any length of time, since any objectionable odors will drift out into the surrounding space every time the can is opened. The good thing about this can is that it has a self-closing lid, so the lid does not remain open for long after use. We are very pleased with all aspects of this attractive, user-friendly waste can.

It doesn't seal closed. With the two flaps down (closed) there is a 8"-ish circular opening in the top. And the flaps aren't fastened with anything. So, no, it won't keep odors in, and it doesn't keep my 1 year old out. I have thought about putting some Velcro on the flaps to hold it closed.

Sorry I'm not sure if it will seal in a smell. It is not a very thick plastic, it can easitly be torn. They use to make thick ones that would keep in / block a smell but I cant find those anymore. I use these on brand new mattreses that I leave the plastic on and then put the mattress in these so that there is a double layer of protection.

Odor is minimized after bags are tied. Bags are thick enough and does not leak. Just dont let it sit in the trash too long!

It did when I first got it, but took it out of the package and let it air out, it was fine. Only smell if close To it.

Agree that it is a tight seal, but may not be the best container if you are going to regularly use it to transport more "liquidy" foods like yogurt. Also, while its still tight, our lids have gotten a bit more loose over time.

It has an inner seal under the lid. I don't remember if there was an outer seal.

This bin is designed to keep odors in. There aren't any ventilation holes. There isn't a "seal" either, but the bin keeps odor contained pretty well. I've had no issue with odor even going 4 days between emptying.

There is a liner inside the lid, I'm not sure if that is what you mean by a "rubber seal". The salve I store in that jar is rather pungent and it does keep that smell in.

Yes, there is a thin seal on the inside of the lid. It doesn't cover all the lid.

It doesn't really have a "seal". It's just a wooden lid that slides back and forth which covers whatever you have inside fairly well, but not air tightly. I have coarse salt and pepper inside my box, and for this purpose, it works great.

It has a screw top, so I don't think it's airtight. However, tightly screwed on, it should keep any scent contained.

No seal, just sits on top - not loosely, but not securely either. Could fall off if you don't grab it properly. Hope this helps.

We have used this for a long, long time, and I have not noticed an odor. I have been very pleased with it. Great size!

Yes, it is pretty air tight. I line it with a plastic bag and empty it once a week and the smell is contained. I keep it outside on a fence as seen in the picture.

It is packaged in the container which is plastic of some kind. There is a gasket on the lid which probably would allow you to use an O2 absorber with some success but I couldn't say for sure. The gasket and lid certainly make a tight seal. It does not come with an O2 absorber inside that I recall.

It does not have a rubber seal. But I cant smell the cream that I put in it with the lid on. Hope this helps.
