Skip bins attract insects and bacteria. Plus, foul odour is a part of the decomposition process. There will always be pests, such as flies and maggots, waiting to attack. It’s part of your job to ensure that you close and lock the lid to keep those insects out. Wipe the sides and top daily using paper towels and an antibacterial cleaner to bolster the protection.
It’s also recommended to do a deep clean once a week. If it seems to get smelly all the time, try your luck with old newspapers, which can help reduce the stink coming from organic matter.
