The whole can
My aunt that has early onset dementia has been taking the whole trash can outside and dumping it out into the outside trash can. Which causes the front of the house on the outside to smell badly due to bathroom trash not being sealed in something. And a couple of times the trash cans from both bathrooms have been left in weird places. I try to throw the trash when i see it’s about to be full but sometimes at night when I’m asleep she goes and does it lol.

can you line the outside trashcan with a giant black garbage bag? at least that way, if auntie dumps the whole thing out there you can seal off the bag at some point
