By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

I tried lots of products inside the can itself to mask odours but in my experience they just added something pleasant over something bad (I can remember joking with people on the forum about the wonderful new scent of sh!trus🤣).
I often lined client commode with a plastic liner bag with kitty litter and baking soda in it.
It works wonders for smells.
I had a few care clients who stored their outside garbage cans in the garage and I worked the night shift alone and wasn't willing to trek across the dark yard into the garage. So we kept a small, covered garbage can lined with a bag on the porch outside. It got emptied and we changed the bag once a day. If you tie the diapers up in a small plastic bags and put them in a garbage can lined with a bag that has a cover, you won't smell anything. Keep the can outside on a porch if possible.
If that's not possible, sprinkle a little Arm & Hammer brand cat litter deodorizer in the bag before the soiled diaper gets put in.
Tie it up and you won't smell anything.
We used to put a little of the deodorizer in the bottom of the trash can and in the liner bag. It really works.
You can look it up on amazon.
Then to keep smell out of your outdoor can - dump all your tied up bags into one large trash bag and place in the can your trash company picks up. And don't leave outdoor can sitting in hot sun between pick ups!
Ideally, if you had a small chest type freezer that could be used only for these items (and for scrap food items) you could eliminate all the household odor. Keep a large trash bag inside, dump daily waste and haul it all out night before city trash is picked up. Prevents smell AND keeps dogs/varmits out of the trash. I've been doing food scraps like that for years.
