Garbage room odour control, deodorising and scenting
Garbage room odour control with ozone, scenting, or a targeted mix of both, set for your garbage room or compactor room, 24/7/365.
What we look at first
Every garbage room is different, so when we assess your site, we look at:
- how big the room is;
- whether a garbage chute feeds into the room;
- how the room is laid out: are the wet waste bins together, or spread around the room?
- whether the bins sit against a wall or under a low ceiling, where the ozone can be targeted easily, or need a broader approach;
- other sources of odour in the room, such as a grease trap;
- whether the room is only for residents, or shared with shops and restaurants.
For advice and a quote, free of obligation, call 1300-ODOURS (1300 636 877) or send us photos of the room.
How the Garbage Doctor Duo works in a garbage room: UV ozone neutralises the odour at the bins, and the Duo's scent tank adds a light fragrance to the room.

Two ways to treat a garbage room
-
A neutral garbage room
UV ozone, with an activated carbon filter, targeted at the bins, compactor or carousel, neutralises the odour where the odour starts.
See the Ozone -
A scented garbage room
The ozone still neutralises the odour at the bins, and a fragrance is spread more broadly through the room, or into the chute.

What makes garbage room odour control work
- Equipment built for the room. Garbage rooms are dusty, damp and swing between hot and cold, so the equipment has to run 24/7/365 there.
- Ozone targeted at the source. The ozone has to be released as close as possible to where the odour starts, usually the bins or the compactor. A best-practice installation takes a little longer at first, and is well worth the time.
- The right ozone level. The output is checked so the output stays within the right range. Where more treatment is needed than ozone alone can give within that range, a dual air purification model, such as the 5000, treats the room's air as well.
- Scent kept apart from the ozone. Ozone is an extremely effective deodoriser, but ozone can't tell a good smell from a bad one, so where a room is scented too, the fragrance goes in apart from the ozone, and the two don't work against each other.
- Regular service. Carbon filters, UV lamps and fragrance are replaced as needed, and the equipment is electrically tested and tagged by a qualified person, as the law requires. We include the test and tag in every service.
Our technicians install and service the Garbage Doctor throughout Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Airlie Beach, Tweed and Auckland.

Tap a number to zoom in on each part, or press Next to be taken round in order.
Stainless steel, mounted on the garbage room wall. Inside, UV lamps turn a small amount of the air's oxygen into ozone. The main unit also holds the scenting controls, which are connected to the scent tank.
Air enters through a carbon filter along the bottom of the machine.
Grey PVC conduit runs along the wall where the bins are kept, with small holes to release the ozone just above the bins. Targeting the ozone at the source neutralises the odour where the odour starts.
Mounted on the wall and connected to the main unit by a small blue air hose. The 14-litre tank holds your choice of fragrance.
The scent tank sends a scented vapour out of a short pipe on top, into the wider area of the room outside the targeted ozone.

Stainless steel, mounted on the garbage room wall. Inside, UV lamps turn a small amount of the air's oxygen into ozone.
Air enters through a carbon filter along the bottom of the machine.
Grey PVC conduit runs from the machine above the bins, with small holes drilled wherever ozone is needed. Treating the air as close as possible to where the odour starts neutralises the odour before the odour spreads through the room.

What's the difference between the Duo and the Ozone?
Our explainer video compares our most popular systems: the Garbage Doctor Duo, with ozone in the bin room and a fragrance in the chute, and the Garbage Doctor Ozone, for a neutral bin room and chute.
