An odor containment and elimination device includes a containment center, first pathway, second pathway, and third pathway. The containment center can be configured to receive an odorous item that emits a contaminated air including an odor. The first pathway can be in fluid communication with the containment center and an outside environment and configured to allow contaminated air to travel from the containment center to a first release point while inhibiting seeping of the contaminated air from the first pathway into the outside environment prior to the first release point. The second pathway can be in fluid communication with the containment center and the outside environment via a first intake. The third pathway can be in fluid communication with the containment center and the outside environment and configured to reduce contaminated air released into the environment and/or direct the contaminated air through a door or window.
