I live in the hottest, most humid part of Georgia and because we're not
a big family we opted for once a week trash pick up service. The roll
can (sort of a big dumpster on wheels) doesn't seem to attract wildlife
nor do you smell anything with the lid shut. While dumping stuff into it
you might notice odor but once you shut the lid you don't notice
anything malodorous. It just isn't an issue.
