Once a week (or more often in summer), rinse your bin with hot water and dish soap. For a deeper clean:
- Mix water, white vinegar, and baking soda
- Scrub with a brush
- Let it dry completely before replacing the liner
4. Freeze Meat Scraps Until Trash Day
If you don’t take your trash out every day, keep meat scraps or greasy leftovers in a sealed container in the freezer until garbage day to prevent rot and smell.
5. Keep the Lid Closed and the Area Dry
Maggots thrive in warm, humid environments. Always keep the trash bin lid shut tight. If it’s outdoors, place it in a shaded, dry area.
