Yah, my laundry sink. I have to keep it plugged. Best keep that door shut. Or call a plumber.

A full laundry basket of damp clothes

Probably not worse but on par, the leftover food that are trapped in the sink strainer!

Broccoli that has gone bad.

Leachate. And here I was calling it "chook bucket juice". I shall store that word away in my vocabulary. Learn something new everyday!

Have you got chooks, Doh?

No, but had them growing up. Emptying the chook bucket was one of the chores. Leachate splattering over your feet and legs - so gross.

I did have a few at my last place, some years back. Lately, I've been deliberating about taking one in that has been ostracized at my brothers place. Then maybe getting a couple bantys so has it has company.

Sounds like a good idea. We have light sussexes.

i hope the ostrach got into trouble.

Lol, Somehow I knew the ostrich joke was coming. I was tempted myself.

Houzz, the pics are getting too small! And often when I click on other peoples pics they come up just as small, or smaller!

Dead potato is pretty rank.

As for the bin, I've beaten bin smell by composting potential bin juice candidates, and by keeping a bag in the freezer for any potentially smelly (meat) wrappings or (tuna) tins to go into.

Bin jam

Ew!

I never have bin juice, as I wash all my containes for recycling.

My scraps are actually tossed out on the farm in a discreat place as I haven't got chooks but the crows and other birds get into it.

As for non recycling material, I bag it real well and usually never have a leak with it either.

Haha fiona-b, (not) actually that is the correct method for disposing of carp, they are to be left well up the bank otherwise they have been known to be abe to flip themselves back into the water from quite some distance, as they stay alive for what seems like a really long time.

It's actually illegal to put the fish back into the water if you catch it and I guess there isn't a "bin it" spot for carp!!

When other fish are caught and cleaned, the remains I think are thrown back in for the birds etc... but not so with the carp.

Howevr, I would hate to be smelling the dogs too haha

My dog once rolled in something dead when I had her away from home in a paddock and I couldn't do a thing about it and she was with me in the tractor (close quarters) it was horendous!!

If chooks/worms etc aren't an option, wrapping scraps in newspaper helps. My landlady in high school taught me this. Newspaper may be rare, though!

It's still around. We deliver it.

@Barbara, i love your ideas of avoiding bin juice. perhaps we need a new thread of ways to deal with waste. I have chooks next door i could feed scraps too.

@Luke Buckle, I had a friend offer up scraps for my chooks while we were away for several weeks. On returning to find a mess in the pen I had to explain they don't eat tea bags, citrus peel or onion skins.

My mum used to have to take her household rubbish to the local tip and on one occasion one of the bags leaked stinky bin juice all over the carpet in the car's footwell. I inherited the car a couple of years later, and in hot weather we would get enveloped in eau de parfum bin juice. No amount of professional detailing and shampoos could get rid of it. In our house, any kitchen waste that might create bin juice, goes into a bag that stays in the freezer until bin collection day. Another rank smell that's hard to beat are potatoes that have gone rotten.
