Fresh Wave Odor Eliminator Fresh Pods, 2 Pods & 2 Refill Packs, Original

We live in Florida, and our HOA rules force us to store our garbage bins in the garage, and our architectural committee forbids retractable garage door screens, so we are faced with three choices. 1) We can live with the stench of rotten garbage, 2) We can leave our garage doors open, or 3) We can employ a deodorization strategy. We use these Fresh Wave Pods as part of a four pronged attack on odor which keeps our garage smelling fresh and clean. They are self sticking so we have two of them mounted on the cinder block above the can. Since they are refillable we can install fresh packets on a monthly basis, or as needed. As a result our garage is always fresh and clean smelling.

I’ve used the scent beads before, like the ones you’d leave in the closet and loved it. Thought to try this for a stinky trash can. It doesn’t stay on the lid. The top constantly opens up and then it drops the beads into the trash and then I’d have to use a new one, no matter what I do. I’ve tried tapping it shut to see if it can just hold (thinking it’s just the clasp) but the two pack I got - both of them do it. So if it’s for another use where you won’t be opening and closing often then I’m sure it’s fine. But it was advertised to help with a stinky trash smell and it doesn’t stay so it’s pointless IMO. the scent itself is lovely and light (original) and when it worked for the first 10 mins i couldn’t smell the trash.

They don’t stay shut very well. The concept works otherwise

I only recieved 1 pod. The smell is very nice. However I wish the container stayed more securely closed. When the garbage truck lifted the can the crystal bag popped out of enclosure. Fortunately I saw where it went n restored it to the container.

They stick to top of lid well and remove easily but then you need to find a new way to stick them on. I think they should come with one extra mounting strip. I have one that likes to pop open but a piece of masking tap fixed that.
