Claim:
A dumpster disinfecting and deodorizing projectile for destroying germs and bacteria in an existing dumpster as well as deodorizing ambient air within the existing dumpster, said dumpster disinfecting and deodorizing projectile comprising: an external body having a cavity formed therein, said external body further having an outer surface provided with lines of weakness formed therein, said outer surface being separated into a plurality of disengaged particulates defined by said lines of weakness upon impact; a disinfecting agent contained inside said external body; a deodorizing agent contained inside said external body; and means for automatically releasing said disinfecting and deodorizing agents from said external body after said outer surface is separated to said disengaged particulates and thereby effectively eradicating bacteria and odor over an extended period of time in the existing dumpster; wherein said automatic disinfecting agent and deodorizing agent releasing means comprises: a permeable absorbent pad contiguously lining an inner surface of said external body; a hollow nucleus having a cavity formed therein, said nucleus being dynamically disposed inside said cavity of said external body and being freely movable therein such that said nucleus bounces off said permeable absorbent pad, said nucleus including an outer membrane provided with a plurality of permeable egress regions formed therein; and an agitator dynamically disposed inside said cavity of nucleus and being freely movable therein; wherein said agitator is randomly displaced within said cavity of said nucleus upon shaking said external body such that said disinfecting and deodorizing agents are dispersed outwardly from said permeable egress outlets and thereafter automatically impregnated into said permeable absorbent pad before said outer surface of said external body is shattered into said particulates respectively.
