Activated charcoal diaper pail deodorizer from Green Piece
Short answer: To cut diaper pail smell, empty the pail often, keep the lid closed, and put an activated charcoal sachet in the pail. Green Piece sachets use coconut-shell activated charcoal that absorbs odor instead of masking it, with no added fragrance in our unscented packs.
Green Piece charcoal diaper pail deodorizers come in six pack sizes, from a 4+1 trial pack to a 36 pack. They are made in the USA, sold on Amazon, and the sachets are made from plant-based fibers (petroleum-free).
Buying happens on Amazon’s checkout. We make these sachets, so this page is not an independent review.

How the charcoal sachets help
Activated charcoal is very porous. Odor molecules stick to the surface of those pores, a process called adsorption, and the charcoal holds them until it is full (EPA, “Facts About Activated Carbon Treatment”). That is why a sachet needs replacing from time to time. Follow your pack’s directions, and replace the sachet when odor returns.
