    sensory >>>>I. segregateOne of the best things you can do to keep your trash cans and rubbish bins from smelling like an open landll is to segregate yourgarbage. If you keep all your household waste piled up in just one trash can, the odors will mingle and stink to high heavens. Plastic

    trash cans are cheap, and you can make trash cans and rubbish bins out of old cans and even woven baskets.

    You should have at least four trash cans outside your home, each for the following purposes:

    Waste paper, cardboard, and other paper products. You can store ofce paper, product packaging, and old les in this trash

    can. You can take these products to a recycling center to be processed into recycled paper.

    Recyclable and non-biodegradable waste. Recycling facilities need your plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and other non-biode-gradable household waste items. You can even recycle old products on your own.

    Kitchen waste, leftover food, and other biodegradable waste. Rotting food, vegetable peelings, and other kitchen wasteshould not be mixed with other waste. You can put these waste products to good use by turning them to compost, and use the re-sulting product as fertilizer or mulch.

    Garbage. Whatever cant be recycled or composed can go in this can.

    II. Clean and WashMany people forget that even trash cans need a good cleaning every now and then. Dirty trash cans are coated with a thgusting, slimy ooze that has a very unappealing and nauseating odor. If you dont clean your trash cans, the slime will buadd to the funky odors that come from your garbage.

    As soon as you empty your trash can for the garbage collectors or out to the dumpster, give it a good hose-down with exstrength soap and water. The task involves a lot of elbow grease, and its not the cleanest job in the world, but its complessary. Do this every time you throw out the trash.

    It also helps to line your trash can with a thick garbage bag to prevent the slimy ooze from forming on the sides of the casure the bag does not leak, and that you dont dump anything wet into the bag.

If your trash can is made of need to put the baking soda inside a suitable container to prevent the chemical from corroding the materi

    Charcoal. Charcoal is an excellent deodorizer that has proven odor-ltering qualities. Charcoal is used thing, from expensive cigarette lters to air purifying units. You dont need to buy activated charcoal; you

    buy a bag of charcoal, pulverize it a bit with a broomstick or a pick handle, and dump the charcoal into thLet the charcoal sit overnight to remove the odors.

    Vanilla extract. The powerful scent of vanilla extract can mask the odor of stinky rubbish you throw into t

    can. Place a small amount of vanilla extract on a couple of cotton balls, and let them stay overnight in theVanilla extract is expensive, so do not dump the precious liquid into the trash can.

    sensory >>>>GARBAGE SMELLS. but anyone with a nose knows that garbage can stink. A bor diapers left in a garbage can on a hot, humid summer day can send a powerfabout the mischief-making powers of bacteria and microbes.

    A bag of garbage smells for a very simple reason. It contains decaying, persuasals such as meat or vegetables or diapers. As meat decays, it attracts bacteria ton the amino acids in the meats proteins. Vegetables also can rot and slowly liq

    microbes attack the vegetables cell structure and the fermenting liquids warm ubage bag. As more gasses and liquids are produced, the bag may rupture. It magross, but it is just garbage at work.

    Smell is a very direct sense. In order for you to smell something, molecules fromthing have to make it to your nose. Everything you smell, t herefore, is giving off -- whether it is bread in the bakery, onions, perfume, a piece of fruit or whatevermolecules are generally light, volatile (easy to evaporate) chemicals that oat th

    air into your nose.

    The sense of smell is associated with sensory receptor cells in the upper nasal smell, or olfactory, receptors are chemoreceptors. Chemicals that st imulate olfaceptors enter the nasal cavity as airborne molecules called gases. They must dthe watery uids that surround the cilia of the olfactory receptor cells before theydetected. These specialized cells, the olfactory receptor neurons, are the only pnervous system that are in direct contact with the outside environment. The odothen waft up to the olfactory cells, where the chemicals bind to the cilia that linecavity. That action initiates a nerve impulse being sent through the olfactory cellolfactory nerve ber, to the olfactory bulb, and to the brain. The brain then know

    chemical odors are.
