Keeping Diaper Pail Fresh

I've been keeping a box of baking soda in the bottom of our diaper pail, but it only keeps the bathroom fresh for a week. Can any of you recommend some natural ways to keep the diaper pail smelling acceptable?

TIA!

    We have the Arm and Hammer diaper pail. We got a different one (I hate buying those stupid bags) and almost died. Seriously, the A&H pail is a plastic miracle. We have 3 of them. One in each kiddo's room and one downstairs by the changing spot in the laundry room.

    Honestly, we threw them out every day.

    Ugh I wish I could do this. We send our diapers out to be composted, so I usually wait until the last minute to tie up the bag and set it on our porch.

    I am pretty green...except when it comes to diapers.  While I used biodegradable diapers and biodegradable garbage bags, that is pretty much it.   No cloth, no composting...

    I would throw them away in an outside garbage pail as soon as I was done changing the baby and be done with it.  And when my DD was 9mo, we moved to Europe, where the rules on garbage were different.

    Not sure if you already do this but flushing the poop down the toilet helps.

    I didn't think about that. Thanks @jllmb79!

    @Guennie: If @llumine and I use the same bags, I get them at the hardware store or grocery store. Mine are called Biobags. We use them for composting and our compostable diaper service. I should use them for our regular garbage, too.
