Used diapers smell bad before they reach the trash. Is there a practical way to collect and dispose of them without spreading odor?

Odor from used diapers becomes more noticeable, especially after introducing solid foods. The most practical solution is a small, lidded, carbon-filter diaper pail. Normal trash immediately releases the smell; special carbon-filtered pails trap most of the odor. If you don't want to buy a special pail, putting each diaper individually into a small bag and tying it tightly works — this way each diaper doesn't get air exposure and odor doesn't accumulate. Also, taking diapers out daily rather than waiting, and sprinkling some baking soda on the bottom of the container can further reduce smell.
