End the stink in the dumps
Lemon or Vinegar
Cut a lemon in half and clean the inner walls of the trash with one half. If you prefer, you can replace the lemon with a cloth soaked in vinegar or a cloth soaked in a solution made of equal parts vinegar and water.
It is the acidity of lemon or vinegar that will fight bacteria that insist on fermenting in the bin even after the garbage has been removed. With any of these solutions, the spread of bad smell will end.
Baking Soda or Coffee Powder
Baking soda, coffee grounds or fresh coffee grounds will act as “suckers” for the bad smell. Just put some of the powder of your choice in a small jar at the base of the bin – or speckled in the same spot if you prefer. You should take out the trash daily, especially from the kitchen, but baking (or coffee) can be changed weekly.

Vinegar
Once again, vinegar shows us its multipurpose power. Take a piece of French bread (can and should be old bread) and soak it with plenty of white vinegar. You can whim. Then put it in the bottom of the bin and you’re done! Change the loaf once a day.
Scented Essences
Nothing better than getting rid of the bad smell and breaking it off, ensuring a fragrant aroma to the environment, isn’t it? So, for that, choose the essence of your choice and put a lot in a paper towel, which should be disposed of in the bottom of trash. Finally, remember to change paper towels whenever you feel the scent of essence is gone. You need to be specific on the kind of dumping you are making and then only you can come up with the best choices for the waste boxes that will make your day. It is true that you will be getting a hard time in this choice, but it is something that you can be sure of.
