Must be wheelie bin day! Today was bin day here, and the bins were getting a bit stinky so I gave them all a basic rinse out with a bit of dishwashing liquid
I saw my neighbour doing that. Now that they are collecting food scraps in the green bin smells can be a problem, especially as we only have fortnightly collection. I've been filling mine mostly with fennel though, so it just smells of aniseed!

Nobody's given us a green bin yet. But unfortunately I forgot to take the bins out before I left, so there's been some chicken baking in the sun for about a fortnight. Definitely needed a rinse and air out
