Abstract: A wheelie bin having a base (30) and four side walls (31) defining an internal storage space (32) with a top opening (33) containing a freshener which includes an elongate hollow casing (1) which is secured in an upright position containing an absorbent wick (3). The freshener has a filler aperture (19) at the top end provided with a filler cap (4) through which a liquid freshening medium can be poured into the casing, e.g. one or more of a disinfectant, an insecticide, an insect repellent, a deodorant and a fragrance. The casing (1) is provided with vent holes (10) through which vaporised freshening medium may pass into the contents of the internal storage space (32), and vent guards (11) are provided at intervals to prevent the vent holes (10) becoming blocked.
