Household baking soda can work wonders at removing trash container smells. Add ¼ cup baking soda to your trash receptacle at the beginning of each week. Trash containers, bins and totes can be washed with regular soap and water. The best time to add the baking soda is when the containers are dry and clean. Clean cat litter can also be substituted for baking soda.

WM customers can contact us to replace a lost receptacle. In some cases, you may be redirected to your municipality for add-a-can service and support.
