How often should the bins go out?
Weekly. The one with a deadline that does not negotiate.
What it actually is, and what shifts it
The smell in a bin is usually under the bag rather than in it: liquid gets past the liner and sits in the bottom. Worth checking once — it is the difference between taking the bin out and taking the bin out again in two days.
Put it on a list that reminds you
“Bins out”, weekly. Tick it when it is done and the next date is counted from that day, not from when it was due.
