Loading dock odour control
Loading docks often double as the building's bin store, with the garbage compactor beside them, so odour builds up where staff, deliveries and customers pass. The Odour Doctor® neutralises that odour where it starts, 24/7.
Which system does your dock need?
We can recommend a specific system after looking at your dock's layout, where the odour comes from, and the result you'd like, including whether you need germicidal control.
Choose an option
Ozone, where the odour source is contained
An Odour Doctor Ozone near the compactor or bins, close to a power supply. PVC conduit carries the ozone to each source, leaving a clean, neutral smell.
Ozone and scented vapour, for a larger dock
Where odour comes from will depend on your loading dock, generally the ozone is used to treat each source (where possible, as some odour sources may be placed in the centre of the dock where access from the equipment is not possible). The Odour Doctor's scent tank can then optionally add a light fragrance across the dock, and is an excellent option if the odours cannot be targeted directly.
Why does a loading dock smell?
Bins, the compactor and food storage all give off odour, and the dock's access-ways carry that odour into corridors and back-of-house areas. An air freshener covers the smell for a while, and the odour comes back once the fragrance fades.
The Odour Doctor treats the odour at its source. Results are typically evident within about 15 minutes of installation.
What about a large open dock?
For a large open dock, or several heavy odour sources, we recommend the high-output Garbage Doctor® Ozone HD. The machine's high-pressure fan pushes ozone through longer pipework, so a single Ozone HD can often treat a compactor and a grease trap side by side.
The other option for large loading docks is to utilise our commercial scenting systems - sometimes at opposite ends of the dock, which don't require the same targeted approach as ozone does.

Deodorising equipment for loading docks
- Ozone: breaks odours down by oxidation.
- Scented vapour: leaves a pleasant fragrance, while the ozone treats the odour.
- Germicidal UV-C: helps control bacteria, viruses and mould spores in the machine's airflow.
- Carbon filtration: removes VOCs and some odours, alongside ozone.
