How to clear a bin infested with maggots!?

[Ewewewew]

Feeling a bit useless here, grateful for any ideas/help!

We moved into our new home last month and have no brown bin. Requested one from the council ages ago, despite chasing, still have no brown bin.

Anyway, there was a smaller, sealed bin outside that we put some food waste in, thinking that any day now our new brown bin will turn up. Well, the brown bin hasn't turned up and the current bin is overflowing with maggots.

What's the best way to deal with this? Where do we dispose of the rotten food and the maggots once we're hopefully able to kill them? I'm feeling really stupid here and have no idea what to do next. Feeling really sick thinking about it.

Flipping heck its maggots not lions. I get they are creepy but they are harmless.
They only eat rotting heat. Don't use bleach ( poor birds and other insects it will slush over) boiling water is fine.
Rebag the bags inside others. Clean out the bin. Put them back in general waste. Will take less than an hour.

Put the small black bin in a rubble sack, tie it and then double bag it and put it in your general waste. Why faff with water, fishing stuff out. Just bag it up and put it in the bin, problem solved.

Yes, bury them. Make sure that you name them first and then you can make little gravestones from lolly sticks.

Meh, ignore me. It's too hot to sleep and I'm cranky. As long as you've killed them with boiling water you can leave them out for the birds. If you kill them with bleach you need to rebar them with the rubbish so you don't kill the birds.

Could be a food waste caddy, some councils are introducing them ,the Highland council have done it in some areas recently but not ours yet, they are providing liners for them as well apparently

OP, I remember the first time we got maggots in a (non food) bin, when DS1 was small, I was freaked out and nauseated… and I didn’t have pregnancy hormones on top.

it’s a very human reaction, don’t worry!

Is it a bigger version of this?
Maybe its for food waste anyway

I'd 100% chuck it!

In a bin liner and chuck on bin day!

Don't do it before bin day!
