If they have to trade enough cans, maybe they will give you some good, thrifty advice about deodorizing the cans. Until then, try ZeroOdorStore.com . It's not inexpensive, but it works. Hooray! O.

It might take a while but it will eventually come out.

Anyway they do not immediately offer a replacement but they will if you insist. Ours is new and looked like it had been just washed...Don't waste your hard earned money on this.

I put an entire bag of open charcoal, a cup of coffee grounds in a little throw away bowl, sprinkled some baking soda, and a full container of Glade carpet deoderizer all inside and closed it up. After 2 days, it is smelling very good! I have had to borrow space in neighbor's trash cans so that I could keep this one shut and empty during the process. I did contact the city and tell them about the problem after I first moved in and they said they would check and see if they had a new can and get back to me and of course they never did. I like the idea of keeping newspaper in the bottom all the time. I always keep everything in bags, but trash is trash!! Thank you all so much. I will still leave it closed up for a few more days! Thank you again!

Now I just place a large entire newspaper in the bottom every week after it's emptied and if really smelly stuff goes into it, so does some more crumpled paper, an+}"-- it's fine now. I'd try all of the suggestions one at a time. I think you are bound to get it done. Do you have one of the desktop air filters machines like The Sharper Image sells. Might work.

Posted on 09/12/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Smelly Outdoor Trash Can By Syd (Guest Post) Contact the City that supplies the trash cans and tell them what you have done to eliminate the smell ... ask if they can exchange this trash can with a new one! Doesn't hurt to ask. Posted on 09/09/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Smelly Outdoor Trash Can By guest (Guest Post) Try leaving an open bag of charcoal in the garbage can. Leave the lid closed. Leave it in their for about a week. It worked for us when we forgot to take the garbage to the dump and the garbage stayed in the trunk of the car for a whole week. The smell was terrible. Good luck. Posted on 09/08/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Smelly Outdoor Trash Can By mkymlp (230) Contact Try spraying the inside with straight ammonia a few times without rinsing. Or maybe try a few mothballs. Posted on 09/08/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Smelly Outdoor Trash Can By Ann (Guest Post) Since I know that crumpled up newpaper is good for taking smells out of shoes, I wonder if it would work if each week you put crumpled up newspaper in the bottom of the can. It would take a while to remove the odor, but each time the trash is picked up, they'd be taking away the smelly paper. Posted on 09/08/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Smelly Outdoor Trash Can By Cheryl from Missouri (Guest Post) Have you tried taking the can to the carwash and using the high pressure hose and soap? Maybe the smell has "soaked" into the plastic and maybe the high pressure wash will help? Posted on 09/08/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse
