How should I handle odors coming from my container?
Between service days you may notice your container giving off an unpleasant aroma. Here are a couple of suggestions to help you keep those unwanted odors from spreading throughout your home or business:
- Bag all your trash. This will help keep your container clean and free of leaks or spillage.
- Partially fill the cart with water and add some bleach. Let it sit for a day or two then scrub it clean. The bleach will soak into the plastic and it will help to sanitize the container.
- Order WM’s Odor Disposer, found here, to get rid of common household odors.
Information in this article may be inapplicable to customers who receive service pursuant to a WM agreement with a municipality, association or other entity, or where applicable law requires differing terms of service.
