We had that happen with a big plastic  bin.  We washed with a baking soda  solution and rinsed it thoroughly....the bin and the top.   And then we put them out on the balcony for a couple of days.  That took care of the odor.

Wht brand containers are they? Does the cover have a silicone seal? I find that with  my containers I need to remove the seal and clean it, plus clean the little groove- because funky stuff collects. I imagine that buildup of gunk could add to the smell.
