Tackling Garbage Chute Odours: PuraAir's UVC Series 1000

October 1, 2023
PuraAir Commercial Odour Control System

Garbage chute odours can be a persistent nuisance in commercial and residential buildings. These unpleasant smells not only create discomfort for occupants but can also raise concerns about health and hygiene due to the presence of harmful bacteria and viruses. Thankfully, there's a game-changing solution to combat this issue: PuraAir's UVC Series 1000 – a high-performance commercial odour control system. This innovative technology goes beyond masking odours; it gets to the root of the problem by utilising an ultraviolet ray (UVC) germicidal lamp and ozone generating technologies.

Eliminating Unwanted Odours

Traditional methods like air fresheners and deodorisers may provide temporary relief, but they only mask the problem, they don't address the source of the problem and eliminate it. The UVC Series 1000 takes a different approach. It targets and eliminates the compounds responsible for those foul smells, ensuring a consistently fresh and pleasant indoor environment. Say goodbye to recurring odours that can severely affect the quality of your day to day living and working environments.

 

Battling Bacteria and Viruses

More than just an odour eliminator, the UVC Series 1000 is a powerful germicidal weapon. Its UVC germicidal lamp is designed to disrupt the DNA and RNA of bacteria and viruses, effectively destroying them by interfering with their reproductive cycle. This not only improves indoor air quality but also enhances overall hygiene and safety within your commercial, retail, or residential space. It's a proactive step towards a cleaner and healthier environment.

 

Long-Lasting Results and time-tested technology

Unlike quick fixes that wear off after a short while, the UVC Series 1000 provides long-lasting results. It works 24/7 to keep odours at bay and ensure a pristine atmosphere in environments that are connected to garbage holding facilities. Our UVC system has been perfected over 10 years in the marketplace; so, you can count its performance and reliability. You can breathe easy knowing that your apartment, office space or hotel lobby is not affected by odours elsewhere in the building because these odours are eliminated. Investing in this technology means investing in a sustainable solution that has stood the test of time.

 

Environmentally Friendly and Cost Effective

PuraAir's system is environmentally friendly; it doesn't rely on chemical sprays or masking agents that can be harmful to the environment. Instead, it harnesses the power of natural UVC light and ozone (also a naturally occurring molecule) to achieve effective odour control and sanitation. You can enjoy the benefits of a cleaner space while minimising your ecological footprint. PuraAir’s UVC Series 1000 is also the most cost-effective on the market in terms of power consumption so you can save money as well as knowing that you are minimising your carbon footprint. Cheaper rental options may mean hidden power costs so be aware – we can give you a cost analysis if you are using another system.

 

If you're looking to put an end to the persistent problem of garbage chute odours and ensure a healthy and pleasant environment for your commercial, residential, or recreational space, the UVC Series 1000 by PuraAir is your go-to solution. With its cutting-edge technology, it doesn't just mask odours; it eliminates them at the source while eradicating harmful bacteria and viruses.


It's a smart cost-effective investment in cleanliness, comfort, and healthy living.

As we welcome the New Year, the team at PuraAir would like to extend our warmest wishes to all our valued clients and partners. The start of the year also marks the peak of the summer season, a time when warmer temperatures, increased building occupancy, and higher waste volumes can create unique challenges for odour control and hygiene management. Summer heat accelerates the breakdown of waste, leading to stronger and more persistent odours. It also creates ideal conditions for flies and other pests, particularly in bin rooms, waste chutes, loading docks, and garbage storage areas. Without effective odour control solutions in place, these issues can quickly impact the comfort, health, and overall experience of residents, staff, and visitors. In high-rise residential buildings, these challenges are often intensified during the holiday period. With more people spending time at home, garbage volumes naturally increase, placing additional strain on waste management systems. Communal areas such as lift lobbies, corridors, and waste rooms can be especially affected if odours are not properly managed, leading to resident complaints and unnecessary disruption. This makes the New Year an ideal time to review your odour control and scenting requirements. Ensuring that existing systems are functioning optimally, and that solutions are appropriately scaled for summer conditions, can help prevent issues before they arise. Proactive odour management not only improves air quality but also supports hygiene standards, reduces pest activity, and helps maintain a pleasant living and working environment. At PuraAir, we work closely with building managers, facility teams, and property owners to deliver tailored odour control and scenting solutions that address seasonal demands. From waste room and garbage chute treatment to fly control and ambient scenting in shared spaces, our solutions are designed to perform when conditions are at their most challenging. Start the year with confidence. We encourage you to take this opportunity to assess your current odour control measures and ensure they are ready for the months ahead. Contact Rob Clarke from PuraAir on 1300 972 736 or 0147 714 268 today to schedule a summer readiness review or to discuss tailored solutions for your building. A proactive approach now can help prevent issues later and ensure your spaces remain fresh, hygienic, and welcoming throughout summer and beyond. Browse through our website for more information. We wish you a safe, successful, and refreshing New Year and look forward to supporting you throughout 2026.
