Will the horrible smell from long standing wet soil go away?

I have a big tub of soil that I thought was covered with plastic. However, water got in there. It has been sitting there a long time and the soil smells terrible. My question is, can I reuse this soil by augmenting it? Or will the smell always be there even after it dries out? It would be going into containers.


I have a roof garden so getting rid of it would be a big hassle (4 stories above ground level, no elevator).
