Five Easy Ways to Reduce Garbage Odors

Between garbage and recycle bin cleanings, there are several ways that you can reduce the smells coming from your garbage. Don’t worry about washing it out by hand; let our team take care of the cleanings, but do the following things to prevent odors from taking over.

  1. Baking Soda: One of the easiest ways to keep trash bins from being overwhelmingly stinky is to use baking soda in your trash. Sprinkle baking soda in the bottom of the can or the trash directly to help absorb odors. The baking soda can be replenished as needed, depending on the size of the can and how often your bins are cleaned. It will typically help absorb odors for approximately one week.
  2. Kitty Litter: Cat litter absorbs liquids and helps to eliminate odors created by your trash. Changing the litter when it becomes saturated can help keep your trash and recycle cans smelling fresh.
  3. Dryer Sheets: Although dryer sheets should not be placed directly in your bins, they are a great option within your trash bags. They can help absorb odors and make your garbage smell fresh.
  4. Charcoal Filters: Activated charcoal deodorizers can attach to your trash can lid or be placed inside of the can. They can naturally and safely absorb food, pet, mold, and other odors.
  5. Coffee Beans and Grounds: For those who love the scent of coffee, coffee beans within your trash bin will help mask and neutralize stinky trash. Dry coffee grounds can be poured over the compost or trash to help combat smells from food waste.
