Dumpster Detox
The dumpster is an ingenious tool that has been around since the 1930′s. It’s a simple container which permits you to temporarily accumulate and store waste, while maintaining an overall neat appearance to your property and buildings. The dumpsters may vary in color, size, style and contents; however they do have a few things in common… the concerns of diseases, hazardous materials and rodents – very serious issues you have to worry about when it comes to dumpsters. All of those issues have been overlooked simply because they’re not thought of. Not thought of until….the smell! The unpleasant stench can attract unwanted rodents and flies. It can also become overwhelming to people who have to walk past, live near or work in an area near the dumpster. Many business owners don’t think about maintaining the dumpster, it’s not practical to give the dumpster frequent scrubbing, but measures can be in place to control dumpster odors.
So what causes these odors?
As one can imagine, the dumpster contains all types of waste like food, commercial and residential items, landscape debris… So as the garbage sits in these dumpsters, bacteria begin to grow, the change in the Ph balance of items change, temperatures fluctuate, food spoils… Putting all of this together, you generate horrible smells, a mixture of liquids and solids, all of which can leak out of the dumpster and onto the driveway or loading dock. As a result, there is now a risk of causing health problems to those who may work and live near where the dumpster is stationed. These health risks are from the Carbon Monoxide, Sulfur Dioxide and fine particulates that have developed and are in the air surrounding the dumpster.
How can you be proactive and treat your dumpster?
Very easily, all you need to do is treat the dumpster with a few additives. The first product is Nilodew. Nilodew is a clay and Zeolite (microporous, aluminosilicate minerals commonly used as commercial adsorbents) based granular deodorizer that contains a natural odor absorbent. It also contains Citronella to deter flies and other pests. The second product is Chute & Dumpster Wash. This product is specially formulated with friendly bacteria, citrus oils and a proprietary odor neutralizer to clean, cut grease and counteract severe malodors. Finally, add superSOCK- a deodorizer that uses natural ingredients to hold the powerful concentrated deodorizer. superSOCK was designed to deodorize odors in sewers, elevator shafts, dumpster areas, garbage collection areas, or anywhere that strong undesirable odors are present. superSOCK will provide deodorization for up to 60 days.
As a result of using Nilodew, Chute & Dumpster Wash and superSOCK, gone are the days of the stench, rodents and health hazards. Simply put, your dumpster will be as attractive as a dumpster can be!
