Sealing a standard trash can for a DC cyclone
Somewhere, can't find it anymore, I saw a recommendation to use a translucent trash can for a cyclone dust bin. I'll be using a Super Dust Deputy.
Here is the link to the can & lid that I found: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/con...TCKIT32CL.html
My concern is that the lid, like any other commercial can, is not going to be a tight fit. Are there any good solutions to sealing this can up, or should I look for a different option for a bin?
Couple ideas have been thin foam weatherstripping around the top of the can, or on the inside of the lid; or a bead of silicone?

Many countries have started experimenting with new generation garbage cans. As far as I know, they contain three times more waste and transmit data about their workload. Proper structuring of garbage is important for my business. Otherwise, I get a lot of fines. Almost all the profit is completely spent on their payment. Therefore, I started using https://www.dumpsterrentalslafayette.com/ two months ago. Btw, there is also another technological innovation in waste disposal. Sensors are often installed in the tanks. They deactivate the process by recognizing glass and plastic bottles.

I've had good luck making mating rings out of 3/4 ply. Silicone/screw one to the can and the other to the lid. Or just make a mating lid. A bit of thin weather stripping is usually enough for a good seal. It can be as simple as a few holes with nuts and bolts or as complicated as interlocking rings or a clamps. I usually go for the simplest solution.
