Help! My flat permanently smells of poo

Since starting DD (7 1/2 months) on solids her nappies have taken on a much stronger...aroma....and the pedal bin in her room just isn't sufficient anymore. Particularly on a hot day (sorry if TMI!). What does everyone else do with their dirty nappies? Am I stuck with getting one of those expensive nappy bins or do others have bright ideas (and sweet smelling homes!).

nappy bags and empty the bin every day

I tend to just put dirty nappies straight in the outside bin

empty it into what, into a bag in the bin on the street? Problem is if I leave a bag unsealed outside it gets all sorts of rubbish thrown at it from passers by as we are close to shops. It's an option though

your dustbin or wheely bin

I must add, I use washable nappies and a disposeable at night. The washables are stored in a nappy bucket in the bathroom and don't smell...weird

We have a wheelie bin, So stinky nappies got put out straight into that.
The bin's emptied every 2 weeks, so the smell got really boak-worthy.

i put them straight in outside bin all day too.....cant believe anyone would give them house room!!

oh...well that explains it then. Not sure why I had the idea that somehow they could stay inside for a couple of days! Think I'd better get myself a little dustbin and pop it in the back garden til rubbish day. Thanks all.

I use a bucket with a tight fitting lid. empty every day.

Are you tipping 'solids' down the loo? As much as you can? Or use a disposable nappy liner like for cotton nappies. Don't have poo around!
