How to Eliminate Trash Can Odour: Proven Tricks

Why Does the Bin Smell?

Bacteria multiply exponentially in warm environments. Food waste + heat = odour within 24 hours.

5 Tricks

1. Baking soda at the bottom — add 2 tablespoons, absorbs odours
2. Freeze bio waste — put food scraps in a bag and freeze until collection day
3. Vinegar + lemon — wipe the bin weekly
4. Lavender sachets — natural scent under the lid
5. Smaller bin, more frequent emptying — less volume = less smell

Pro Tip

During BeeClean regular cleaning, we also disinfect bins and surrounding surfaces. Odour gone for a week.
