Even I separate all the food scrap into the green bin, my black bin is so smelly after 2 weeks (from the diaper I guess). I have to put "dettol" to and air for a few days for the smell to go before I can put garbage again.

I usually pour sauce down the sink (... may not be a good practice) but then they are easier to handle. As long as they are not wet, it's easier to store.
Anyway, I don't have a family so I don't encounter the same problem as you guys who has more than 2 in the family.
I eat most of the leftover ... except bones LOL. I guess I am a "green bin" too.
I tried to use mothballs to get rid of insects.
Put mothballs inside a stock and ties it to the green can .
But the disadvantage is the smell of mothballs is very strong ......
what's the problem of putting food (or cut off from original food) in freezer?
I wrapped mine in newspaper and then put in plastic bags (2 layers) and they seem ok.
I collect all green garbage in a small container and do the wrapping and adding them into the freezer daily (so they don't get bad before I put them in and thus don't feel as "garbage"). I only take them out on the day I am going to the farmers market and put them in the green drop box there. For things like coffee, it's better to put them in your own compose. I wish I have a compose bin but it's impossible inside an apartment. (or on the tiny balcony)
