Reducing The Smell Of Garbage

The last thing anyone wants a whiff of is smelly garbage in the house. While it’s understood that no matter what ends up getting tossed away will eventually have some sort of odor, it doesn’t always have to be overpowering or in a place with high-traffic! Below, we’ve got a few tips and tricks to keep in mind that may help you reduce the smell in your home from unwanted garbage.

Meat

One of the most important things to remember about meat is that once it becomes warmer, the scent will arise and become stronger. Because of this, it’s important to be more mindful of when you’re tossing it into the garbage and when that garbage goes out to the curb. If you’ve got a few days before this happens, consider placing the unused, leftover or expired meat in the freezer and let it freeze until then. This way. There is no smell and it stays out frozen for most of the time it’s in the garbage — until it’s safely away from the affected area.

Garbage Placement

Of course, the location of your garbage can is also a big factor in keeping the smell away from you. If it bothers you a lot or you’re someone with less room throughout the house, maybe consider keeping your garbage can right outside of a door, or in a cabinet in the room. This saves space and masks the scent from ever re-entering the room!

Compost/Recycle

Another simple hack to your waste management is to reuse and recycle as much as you can. Tossing old food into a compost heap can get rid of the odors quickly and provide you with rich soil in the future, while recycling can get the bottles cans and more out of the way and into an area where when taken away, will have a second lease on life.

Of course, the garbage eventually has to go somewhere — and we wouldn’t want anyone else to take it from you! Join the City Carting team and be one of over 11,000 who are completely satisfied with our services!
