I'm going to take the garbage out, it smells! (Joining of two independent clause with a comma is wrong here (I'm going to take the garbage out is one independent clause it smells! is another independent clause)

Explanation:

• A comma splice is specific kind of comma mistake which happens when you use a comma to join 2 independent clauses. For example: It is nearly half past five, we cannot reach town before dark.
• The comma splice is sometimes used to translate a certain mood of informality in literary prose
• If you add a comma and no conjunction to  separate two clauses, that is called a comma splice. Many people regard this as a run-on sentence, whereas others see it as a punctuation error.
• One way to fix a comma splice is to add a conjunction right after the comma. The conjunction you'll want to add with most comma splices is possibly  and , but, or so. You may change  the comma to a semicolon instead, if adding a conjunction does not seem to work.  Unlike comas, semicolons are sufficiently strong to hold between two independent clauses. If you don't seem to fit adding a conjunction and feel too stuffy with a semi-colon, you can address a split commas by simply making each independent clause a separate sentence.
