I am wondering why, if the bins are for recycling, they are smelling quite so much. Is it because people are dumping all sorts there? On the other hand, unless all containers are rinsed thoroughly before putting them in the recycling bin, there will of course eventually be an unpleasant smell. Talking of rinsing the containers though, I very rarely give them more than the quickest of rinses these days since a friend told me that in Germany this is not considered the thing to do, reason being that the containers etc are blast-washed at the recycling plant and rinsing them at home first just uses more water/energy.
