I just find it easier to transport my compost to the bin inside a bag. I have a bin that fits on my freezer door, and I line it with a compostable bag and dispose of the bag when it fills up.
I use envelopes in one of these. It’s nice because I can hook it on the edge of my arbor when I’m working in the yard.

I got this. No smelliness, ants or fruit flies because it's in the freezer, and because it's flexible is easy to get everything out when it's frozen. Plus, the freezing helps break down tough food stuff like watermelon rinds that we have a lot of. I was originally going to go with one of the little trash can type things for the counter, but was really worried about smells and bugs. I'm super happy with this simple solution that only cost like $12, which is a fraction of one of the trash can ones.

Where I live we’re required to put food waste in a separate bin so it doesn’t go in the landfill. Storing food scraps in the freezer until pick-up day eliminates odour problems, which I expect would be nearly all that causes your garbage to stink. Eg https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B004XWGS7U
Oh, and if you ever have kids look for a Diaper Genie to keep the garage from smelling like shit.
I use this silicone one in my freezer, and it's flexible enough that I've never needed to thaw it before dumping. Really keeps odors and compost sludge to a minimum.
