How to Control Garbage Odours and Airborne Pathogens
PHONE: 1300-ODOURS
To assist with meeting both your fiduciary responsibilities and providing the healthiest and odour-free garbage system for your residents and guests, we recommend addressing the two sources of odours and airborne pathogens in a typical refuse chute;
| 1. Those odours and pathogens which are continually sucked up your garbage chute from the decaying waste in your rubbish bins or compactor. |
| 2. Those odours and pathogens which become airborne as a result of having a soiled garbage chute. |
1: Germ and Odour Control System (i.e. Garbage Doctor). |
2: Garbage Chute Cleaning |
The Garbage Doctor is a product specifically designed for germ and odour control within garbage chutes. It is permanently installed at the base of your garbage chute and operates 24 hours a day to control the odours and airborne pathogens which are sucked up your chute as a result of decomposing waste in your rubbish bins or garbage compactor. For more information on continuous deodorisation of your garbage chute, please see our Garbage Doctor products. |
Professional chute cleaning will remove the dirt and grime that builds up on the inside walls of the garbage chute itself. The recommended period of time between cleans will vary; depending on the number of apartments using each chute, and your buildings clientele. As a guideline, most professionals recommend cleaning your refuse chute between 2 and 4 times per year. |

Why is Garbage Chute Cleaning Important?
Garbage chutes have a naturally occurring up-draft (similar to a chimney). This causes unhealthy odours and bacteria from inside the refuse chute walls to become airborne. These airborne pathogens and odours then enter public areas as residents open the chute doors and dispose of their rubbish.
Garbage chute cleaning should be used in conjunction with an effective and 24/7 germ and odour control solution such as the Garbage Doctor.
How is a Garbage Chute Cleaned?
In most cases a specifically designed, high pressure cleaning system will be lowered throughout your refuse chute.
Generally, a good chute cleaning contractor will also clean around the rubbish chute doors on each floor of your building, as well as thoroughly cleaning the inside of your garbage room.
