I like the idea, at least for stowing the waste that can't be burned, and 
perhaps for the less aromatic foods, like some of the pasta and rice.  
Threaded caps are a pretty good seal.  I know it's foolish to underestimate

Thomas Edison next week and see what happens.  I'll use Velcro to hook up a 
bell.  Pepper spray the outside for "training"???
