Probably the time of year.
The kitchen bin.often stinks and it's horrible.
Yes it's gets cleaned and the bags changed but ewwwww I hate it.

How do you cope with your smelly kitchen bin anything I'm missing?😚😷😫

Our bin doesn’t take any food waste, we have a caddy for that, collected weekly. So no smells here.

Same. Old dog food and bits from the sink go in it too.
It is dry stuff that goes in my kitchen bin.

I give it a spray with a nice smelling disinfectant between bag changes too.

My friend has a small bin for the day - a tub on the kitchen side that she empties each evening. Been considering doing the same.

I never put food items or plastic that contained wet food. Those go in recycling bills. Bin never smells. I reverted to this way because my kitchen bin stank so quickly.

Bicarbonate of soda sprinkled in the bottom?
Maybe changing the bag more than you do?
Have you checked the lid, hinges, mechanisms etc to ensure they're not gummed up with smelly waste?

I never put anything "wet" in my bin and usually changed the bag if it smells.

Jeyes makes a product called fresh bin powder and there is a bin deodorant called bin buddy which might help.
