Why Some Commercial Dumpsters Have Extra Foul Smelling Odors
Why do some commercial dumpsters end up smelling so bad? It’s usually because they’ve got decomposing matter which may or may not then attract smelly animals like rats and their droppings. So what can you do about this problem?
How to Combat Odorous Dumpsters
Ideally, before you dump your garbage in a dumpster, seal it up nice and tight. Bagged stuff doesn’t easily let the odor out. Use strong bags that won’t rip easily. Bag as much garbage as you can.
If you always keep your dumpster closed you might be allowing it to hold moisture in there which then attracts microorganisms that want to live inside. Then it can stink. Sometimes you’ve got to empty the dumpster and leave the cover(s) off for a day or two to let it air out. The drier the interior of a dumpster the better.
Do you regularly dump food? Animals love dumped food. If possible, try composting food waste rather than throwing it into a dumpster. If composting isn’t an easy option, bag up the food and ask for more frequent visits to get the dumpster emptied often. Also, consider having the dumpster cleaned somewhat regularly. A good pressure washing can get rid of lingering gunk and microorganisms that might smell bad.
