Diaper Pail/Trash Can?

What do you use for your diaper pail?  I have pail liners but I don't know what to put them in.  I know a lot of you use trash cans--but do you use the kind with a step on thing for the lid or some other kind?  Do you prefer a stainless steal can because of the odor?

    I have a white plastic step can from Target.  I usually place it outside to air out while I wash dipes and put a little Arm & Hammer deodorant disk in the bottom.

    ETA: I wash the pail liner with the diapers.  I push the whole thing inside out so I don't have to touch the dipes as they go into the washer.

    I have a plastic step can with a mesh laundry bag on the inside.

    That way I can just grab the bag and take it downstairs.

    I wash every day so I really do not notice an odor... I do sprinkle arm and hammer in the bottom of the pail and bleach the plastic pail once a week.

    I use a step top trashcan with a cloth laundry bag from Wal-Mart.  It's worked great for us so far.  Only time we notice an odor is when we forget to close the top.

    We use on of those slim fit white plastic trash can with foot pedal and lid.  Inside we use a planet wise pail liner.  I do laundry every 1.5-2 days and never notice a smell unless I leave the lid up by mistake.  It is not necessary for us to put in any arm & hammer or odor removers.

    This guy... slim plastic, step-on from Amazon... fits perfectly between the dresser and the wall, out of the way and discreet.

    ETA: My Grovia pail liner fits it perfectly.

    I use a Simple Human slim step can with a Planet Wise liner. It's been 95 here and we don't have AC, so there is a little smell right now. I was every other day.

    We have the same trash can.  I use Planet Wise and Kissaluv pail liners.  I wash every other day.  Never had any smell issues.

    I have a white plastic trash can; it's less than 2 feet tall and does not have a lid. I sprinkle a deodorizer in the bottom of it each time I empty diapers from it to wash them (3 times a week).  I wash the liner once a week.   I don't notice a smell, except maybe a pee smell when you're close to it, but that's about it. If we're having people over I stick the pail in the laundry room while they're there (it's in the living room).

    I have a white plastic flip top kitchen-sized trashcan from Target. I use Planet Wise pail liners, and carry the bag downstairs and dump it into the washer (turning it inside out). I let the trashcan air out for a little while before I put the new pail liner in it. There is no odor, except for when I ran into stink issues with the diapers and had to strip. I have a separate hanging wet bag in the bathroom that I use for sprayed poopy diapers now that DD is eating solids. 

     

    ETA: wording
