This is a problem you can solve.
Don't miss the bin collections.
Compost / bokashi / wormery / etc the food waste.
Tie the nappies in (biodegradable) nappy sacks, or go reusable.

bleached
I can’t remember what product was recommended to me instead of bleach for these purposes. White vinegar maybe? I think that’s it, sprayed generously all over, rinsed and repeat if necessary.
I’ve definitely substituted bleach for something less toxic and it actually worked better. Can’t remember what application though …. Might’ve been for removing stains or washing floors 🤔

I've bleached and hose-blasted that thing regularly but it's still wretch-inducingly foul. I hate taking the bins out.
Jeyes fluid ftw

It's recycling/landfill alternating weeks here. If you miss a landfill collection it can sit there for four weeks. Imagine a big wheelie bin full of chicken carcasses, fish heads, messy toddler nappies and other unsanitary revoltingness sat baking in the summer sun for four weeks. Around week, three you can no longer get the lid shut and the maggots REALLY start to take hold...
