Trash Room Odors: Causes, Problems and Control Strategies

Garbage smells because it contains decaying materials, which can be meat, vegetables or even diapers. The decaying process attracts bacteria that make a meal out of the amino acids in the proteins of the meat.

To further this disgusting break down of events, vegetables also rot and they liquefy slowly, while smelly microbes feast on what remains of the vegetable’s cell structure.

While these odors are offensive, they are not harmful to humans. However, the rats and flies that are attracted to the rotting garbage pose significant health threats to humans especially if they penetrate food supplies.

No matter what your industry, every business under the sun generates trash and garbage that must be regularly eliminated in order to maintain a work place that is clean, safe and healthy.

Having the proper equipment, which involves the appropriate size trashcans that are always kept covered and the best odor-control products that money can buy, are important factors in maintaining clean odor controlled trash rooms. In addition, every effective odor-control and management initiative emanates from first establishing a clean trash room.

Why Is One Odor-Control Program More Effective Over Others?

In an industrial or commercial setting, malodors can be serious concerns that go far beyond the concept of cleanliness and godliness.

If fouls smells are the crime, the perpetrator is the presence of bacteria that are left to reproduce either because of infrequent or inferior cleaning procedures or a combination of both.

Odors can occur anywhere within a building, but trash rooms, bathrooms, stairwells and break rooms in offices where food is consumed and hastily put away tend to have more problems than others.

The main reason some odor-control programs work better than others is simply because some are better than others.

Many times, the tendency is for an employer to go for the easiest and least expensive strategy to mask the odors rather than eliminating them.

Products used for the former task lack the potency of the latter.

Freshening the air, however, no matter how assiduously applied, is always only a temporary solution for the recurring problem of growing bacteria.

It is akin to just applying a band-aid on a wound rather than treating it.

Masking foul odors can actually worsen the situation by blending with smells that are already present and collectively forming an even more unpleasant malodor.

Drawbacks Masking Odors Versus Metazene Neutralizer

Instead of the short term fix of reducing odors, business owners and managers must get proactive and opt for more efficient methods, which involve the use of special odor-eliminators, which contain molecules that attach themselves to the odor-causing bacteria, in addition to live biological digesters and anti-bacterial cleaning solutions to eradicate them from the ambient air, leaving a fresh scent in their wake.

Neutralization of odors allows for a pleasant smelling room and permits any selected product to last longer.  For trash rooms, a chosen method should be effective, mild and barely discernable.

To eliminate the gram-active bacteria causing the odors in a trash room, a three-pronged approach must be initiated involving cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting.

Outside professionals, such as the ambient air care specialists that we supply products to, must do more than just cover up the malodor; they must determine its root cause and then treat it accordingly, no matter what size of the room or the stench of the malodor.

The trash room of any facility as well as other areas should be subject to consistent inspections and applications to insure that the odor-causing bacteria do not have a chance to breed.

Eradicating the source of odors and implementing a customized odor maintenance program ensures an improved, more pleasant business environment for everyone.

Bottom line — our products do not mask odors; they destroy them at their molecular level via Metazene®, the most powerful and effective vapor-phase odor neutralizing additive in the marketplace (more on Metazene in a few).

Relevant Waste Control Studies and Statistics

It makes perfect sense that the more urbanized and industrialized a country becomes, the more trash it produces.

According to Ede Ijjasz-Vasquez, senior director for the World Bank’s Social, Urban, Rural and Resilience Global Practices, every year, the nations of the world produce 1.3 billion tons of waste.

The amount of waste generated is expected to double in lower-income African and Asian cities as a result of population growth, urbanization and rising consumption.

By the year 2100, that figure is expected to reach up to 4 billion tons. The United States, China, Brazil, Japan and Germany are the leading trash generators.

The U.S. alone produces 254 million tons of waste annually (2013 statistic), China, a nation with a population that is four times the size of the United States, is not far behind with a figure of 190 million tons of waste per year.

For all countries at all times, waste positively stinks and it can be a real problem to human health and well-being if the proper equipment isn’t employed both in large scale landfills and in residential commercial and industrial settings.

Dumpster And Trash Room Odor Removal Systems

Products that neutralize are necessary to truly kill the bacteria and eliminate the trash room odor source. The good news is that there are products on the market today that do all of the above and are manufactured by one highly reputable company.

With well over seventy years of on site-experience, laboratory refinements and product development, Air-Scent’s odor-control products are heads above the rest and far exceed industry standards.

When it comes to products that effectively eliminate stubborn trash room malodors, the neutralizing agent that is like no other is Metazene®, Every product listed below contain this powerful, molecular odor neutralizing additive. Learn more about Metazene here.

Metazene Vapor-Phase Odor Neutralizing Additive

Malodors speak a negative language all their own and only one neutralizer addresses them in a way that silences them forever.

Metazene is a dual action colorless additive that neutralizes malodors with a little help from industrial science is the most powerful gram-positive bacteria killer in the world

Its potency is guaranteed because of its methodology, which is to attack bacteria at the molecular level.

Metazene has been around for more than seventy years, but early efforts to prepare it were often thwarted by its volatility. It took many years to perfect a concentrate that was stable and pure.

Today, products containing Metazene are the answer for all commercial spaces, and industry owners and managers who are constantly waging a war against recurrent malodors in high-traffic areas, particularly trash rooms and public restrooms.

The reason why Metazene is the best additive on the market lies in the realm of industrial science.

Most odor neutralizers depend upon surface contact enzymes and anti-bacterial agents to produce a microbial action that will eliminate foul odors. While this does occur on a limited level, microbial agents are completely ineffectual when it comes to residual or vaporous odors.

It is a matter of weight and chemical reaction; chemicals bond with foul odor molecules, which are lighter in weight, and alter their electron configurations.
