Mine is right next to our garage, and on a path to the backyard. I can smell our bin from a few feet away with the lid closed, and that’s without poop in there (though now we have cat poop, so it smells worse) and only grass/tree clippings and whatever spilled out of the bags.

It’s gross, but certainly not enough to get mad over, especially since I don’t care enough to actually wash it out (maybe I will soon though, idk). But it’s still unpleasant. If the smell wasn’t my fault though, I would be a lot more annoyed.

I used to put the garbage inside the garage in the winter (we get snow here), but the smell killed that idea.
