We have once a week trash pick ups, no exceptions and there isn't a dump nearby (not in dc). The biggest problem is that we're in a duplex and don't have a trash bin so we can't take bags outside so until trash day they have to sit in a like... mud room type area... like an entrance. Not in the apartment but in the house. It's only an issue for like 48 hours a week but those 48 hours can be problematic.
The scented febreeze bags are what we're using and those are NOT doing the trick. I'm tempted to try the ubbi brand bags though thanks pp.
