Product Information

A non-hazardous, lightweight granular odor neutralizer crafted from eco-friendly, post-consumer mineral spheres. Powered by advanced deodorizing technology, BroBalls deliver long-lasting results that tackle even the toughest odors. The ultimate choice for trash can or bin deodorizing.

Infused deodorizing technology Scent release burst on contact with liquids Absorbs liquids without clumping Excellent for organic garbage bins. Non-clay Free-flowing Non-clumping Anti-slip

DIRECTIONS: Apply the granular directly to odorous areas and adjacent surfaces. If odor source is inaccessible, apply as close to source as possible. Waste Containers & Dumpsters: Generously sprinkle into the bottom of empty garbage containers and over waste as required. Repeat after each service cycle. Garbage Collection Trucks: Generously scatter freely into beds and hoppers of garbage and waste trucks. Outdoors: Generously spread around treatment area and apply onto odorous liquids. Greasetraps: For overflowing traps, sprinkle on the floor around trap to neutralize odors and act as an anti-slip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are BroBalls?
Brodi BroBalls are created by repurposing post-consumer waste into eco-friendly granular mineral spheres and infusing them with Brodi's superior odor neutralizing technology. Brodi's proprietary scent formulations not only provide immediate results, but also release a secondary scent boost on contact with liquids. This makes BroBalls ideal for odor neutralization in household waste bins and compost—and powerful enough for transfer station floors, dumpsters, and trash removal vehicles.

How do BroBalls work?
Brodi BroBalls provide triple action performance. Immediate results are achieved as they release their coating of odor neutralizing essential oil. When they then contact any liquid, such as leachate, a water-soluble odor neutralizer is released. Finally, BroBalls are incredibly porous and can absorb a great amount of leachate without losing structural integrity. They can absorb 21% of their weight in 24 hours and over 100% over 7 days. As they don't collapse, melt, or dissolve, they never become wet mush or cement themselves to bins like traditional clay litter treatments do.

Where do I use BroBalls?
Brodi BroBalls are useful wherever you need to combat nuisance odors. Because they’re dry, don’t clump, and are easy to clean, they work almost anywhere. The most obvious place to use them is in bins such as dumpsters or trash cans, but even a scoop tied into an old sock and inserted into smelly shoes can be surprisingly effective.

How much do I use and how often?
This will be influenced by many factors. However, in general, one treatment per week should offer good odor neutralization. BroBalls are typically applied routinely after bins are emptied, prior to new waste being inserted, but can also be added any time something offensive turns up. A household compost bin might need a capful, a trash can a sprinkle, a standard dumpster a cup, and a transfer station tipping floor might need a shovelful or two.

Are Brodi BroBalls non-hazardous in accordance with O.Reg. 347 and other Canadian provincial hazardous waste regulations?
Brodi BroBalls are non-hazardous and compatible with organic and solid waste handling processes and facilities. All the raw material has contaminant levels below those prescribed as per O.Reg. 347 (https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/900347) and is processed to reduce many typical contaminants.

Do BroBalls contain PFOA/PFOS?
No. Brodi BroBalls do not contain concerning man-made "forever" chemicals like perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluoro octane sulfonate (PFOS). BroBalls are created from recycled household materials, sorted, and processed to pre-clean and then further sanitized with extremely high heat.

Can crushed BroBall dust cause cancer?
BroBalls are essentially dust-free in active use since they are coated with odor neutralizing essential oils and soak up leachate when applied to waste. However, spreading them on high traffic surfaces like the concrete working floor of a transfer station or trash room will crush the balls. This is not a health concern since neither the raw material, nor the finished balls contain problematic crystalline SiO2.

Can I earn LEED Points using BroBalls?
Yes! Brodi BroBalls help you make an active contribution to the environment, protecting natural resources. BroBalls use processed raw materials collected from the municipal recycling program that cannot be recycled/reused into new products. They contain sand, soda ash, and limestone. They do NOT contain VOCs, biocides, or heavy metals. BroBalls are non-toxic and do not provide a breeding ground for pests and molds. LEED does not certify products or services, but products can help contribute toward earning "green building" status for a project:

• Materials & Resources. BroBalls can contribute 1-2 Points due to their recycled content, where LEED values post-consumer material twice as much as pre-consumer.
• Innovation & Design Process. BroBalls can contribute 1-5 points due to being post-consumer content, and because they can potentially address a need or provide a quantifiable energy saving, health, or environmental benefit in the spirit of LEED that is otherwise not covered in the Rating System.

Can I wash BroBalls down the drain?
No. BroBalls should be collected and tossed with your solid waste during cleaning activities. Additionally, BroBalls are mineral-based and will float.

Can I throw them in the garbage or compost? Are they allowed?
Brodi BroBalls are non-hazardous and compatible with organic and solid waste handling processes and facilities. In fact, many of these facilities are using BroBalls themselves! The nature of the product means that it will crush into dust or behave like vermiculite or perlite when incorporated into compost.
