Frequently Asked Questions: Bin Bombs 100% Natural Garbage Deodoriser & Odour-Elimination Pellets (All Sizes & Formats)
What exactly are Bin Bombs and how do they work?
Bin Bombs are 100% natural odour-eliminating pellets formulated to absorb and neutralise bad smells rather than mask them. Made from mineral-based absorbents and infused with a proprietary blend of essential oils, the pellets trap and break down organic odour molecules—leaving behind a fresh, clean scent. Unlike sprays or chemicals, Bin Bombs deliver continuous deodorising for weeks at a time.
What’s the difference between the available sizes and packaging options?
The active formula is identical across all sizes. The difference is in quantity and format to suit different uses:
-
400 g resealable bag: Ideal for home bins, small offices, or testing the product.
-
1 kg & 4 kg bags: Best for regular household, café, or small business use.
-
10 kg bulk bag: Suited for commercial kitchens, hotels, waste facilities, or strata properties.
-
1 kg or 4 kg tubs with hanging bags: Includes pre-filled 100gr hanging sachets for convenient use in wheelie bins, compost bins, pet areas, or nappy bins—no direct handling required.
Each option contains the same natural pellets and long-lasting deodorising power.
How do I use Bin Bombs effectively in different bin types?
-
Household wheelie bins: Use 1–2 tablespoons weekly.
-
Indoor kitchen bins: Sprinkle a handful (≈50–100 g) evenly into the base or under the bin liner.
-
Commercial bins or skips: Use 250–500 g per 240 L bin; increase for larger volumes or hot weather.
-
Hanging bags (combo packs): Hang one 100gr bag under the lid or tie to the handle; replace every 3–4 weeks.
Bin Bombs can also be scattered around odour-prone areas such as pet litter boxes, compost bins, waste compactors, or outdoor bin enclosures.
How long do Bin Bombs last before re-application is needed?
Under normal use, Bin Bombs remain active for 3–4 weeks. High humidity, extreme heat, or heavy organic waste may shorten their lifespan, so simply top up when odours return or the pellets appear damp.
Are Bin Bombs safe and environmentally friendly?
Yes. Bin Bombs are 100% Australian-made, non-toxic, and biodegradable. They contain no synthetic fragrances, ammonia, or harsh chemicals—making them safe for homes, pets, and workplaces. When spent, the pellets can be safely disposed of with household waste or composted.
Can I use Bin Bombs in compost bins or near food waste?
Absolutely. The natural mineral and essential-oil formulation is compost-safe and non-contaminating. Bin Bombs help suppress the sulphur and ammonia gases common in food and organic decomposition without interfering with composting microbes.
Do Bin Bombs remove odours or just cover them up?
Bin Bombs work by neutralising odour molecules at the source, not masking them with perfume. The essential oils provide a light natural scent that dissipates gradually, leaving the area genuinely fresh rather than fragranced.
Where else can Bin Bombs be used beyond garbage bins?
They’re highly versatile.
Use in:
-
Pet areas and litter trays
-
Compost bins and worm farms
-
Public rubbish bins and skip bins
-
Recycling and green waste bins
-
Boots of cars transporting waste or fish gear
-
Hotels, cafés, caravan parks, marine environments
Bin Bombs are also used commercially in aged care, hospitality, and facilities management to control odours naturally.
Are Bin Bombs safe to handle directly?
Yes. The pellets are safe to touch, though they can dry the skin if handled frequently. For convenience, use gloves or the included hanging sachets to avoid contact. Wash hands after handling and reseal the bag to maintain freshness.
How should Bin Bombs be stored for best longevity?
Keep in a cool, dry place with the bag or tub tightly sealed between uses. Store away from direct sunlight and moisture. Properly stored Bin Bombs remain effective for 12–18 months.
Are there any special instructions for commercial users?
For large waste areas, measure usage based on odour severity and waste type. Many businesses use Bin Bombs as part of a scheduled bin-wash and deodorising program—sprinkling pellets after each cleaning cycle ensures consistent freshness. Bulk 10 kg bags offer the most economical option.
Do Bin Bombs work in cold or wet conditions?
Yes, but exposure to water will gradually dissolve the pellets. In outdoor or wet environments, place them in hanging sachets, mesh bags, or perforated containers to prevent waterlogging while allowing airflow.
What are some best practices to maximise results?
-
Empty bins regularly before adding new pellets.
-
Keep bin lids closed to trap the deodorising effect.
-
Combine Bin Bombs with a Bin Bombs Hanging Bag for lid areas where odour collects.
-
For persistent smells, sprinkle extra pellets around drain holes or under liners.
-
Replace every 3–4 weeks for continuous odour control.
Are Bin Bombs safe for use around children, pets, and wildlife?
Yes, Bin Bombs are pet-safe, child-safe, and wildlife-friendly when used as directed. The ingredients are derived from natural minerals and oils. Avoid ingestion and keep large containers out of reach.
How do Bin Bombs compare to sprays or chemical deodorisers?
Sprays only mask smells temporarily, while Bin Bombs continuously absorb and neutralise odour molecules. The pellets keep working even between bin collections, making them a set-and-forget solution for cleaner, fresher waste management.
Are the bags and tubs recyclable or reusable?
Yes. The resealable bags are recyclable through soft-plastic collection programs, and the plastic tubs can be reused or recycled. Many customers refill their tubs from bulk bags as part of a waste-reduction initiative.
Where are Bin Bombs manufactured and how long have they been available?
Bin Bombs are proudly Australian-made and owned, manufactured in Western Australia. The formula has been proven and sold for over 12 years to homes, councils, and commercial facilities nationwide.
What’s the best product for first-time users?
Start with the 400 g resealable bag for household bins. If you like the results, move up to a 1 kg or 4 kg bag for regular use, or choose the tub with hanging sachets for convenient application in multiple bins.
