## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to use this for (clumped) cat litter waste.  Does the top seal well?  Trying to keep oder down... Thanks for any replies.**
A: Try BOS bags for odor issues (they're sold here at Amazon search "BOS bags"). Those things are outstanding for cat litter, diaper pails & poo bags for walking the dog. I NEVER smell anything from these bags and I keep the litter can in my kitchen. I know my answer has nothing to do w/ this trash can but I can't help it, I tell everyone about these bags. I love can't live without them. Hope it helps someone.

**Q: Amazon lists the dimensions as 10" x 7.6" x 12.1" inches.  Yet the can is described as "classic round."  How can this be?  What's the *diameter*?**
A: the circumference of a circle = 2πr   {r = radius}.   we know the diameter is 10", therefore the radius is 5".  

2π(5") = 31.42".   who knows what the 7.6" means.

**Q: Diaper pail users: 1 How has it worked with containing odor; 2 Has the plastic liner absorbed the odor, and if so have you been able to get rid of it?**
A: I have been using this for diapers. 1. It's not perfect at containing odors, but it's acceptable for mild-smelling diapers (pee or breastmilk poop). It would not be acceptable for solids-eating baby poop. There is a faint odor near the can when it's opened even with mild-smelling diapers. 2. The plastic liner does get smelly, but it does not seem to absorb odor. A quick wipe down with a Lysol wipe has it smelling nice again when it happens (infrequently). I use this with plastic bags inside, though -- I don't use it with the plastic interior bin only.

**Q: does this have a slow closing lid or does it just slam down**
A: Mine is slow closing. It's not super-slow, but it closes quietly without slamming. It's good.
