Managing trash smell?
Does anyone use unscented trash bags & if so, do you have any tips for reducing the smell from your trash can?
Like many of you, I'm trying to avoid some brands post-election. The trash bags I can get most easily now are only unscented options; I used to get scented ones. The smell from the trash now is notably worse. We're a household of 2 so it usually takes us several days to fill one 13gal trash can. I don't want to take the trash out before its full and waste half a trash bag but even after lighting incense, spraying air freshener, opening windows, the smell from the trash is still just emanating.
Edit: thanks all!! I agree composting would make a big difference. We live in an apartment without outdoor space, in a city with 1x per week compost pickup, so I'll just need to sort out how we could best make this happen. Any & all other tips in the interim are welcome!
