Dispenser including a cartridge module and a powder or liquid dispensing agent arranged in the cartridge module. Dispensing occurs when the dispenser is jarred which causes the dispensing agent to pass through one or more dispenser openings in a lower wall of the cartridge module. For example, when the dispenser is mounted to an inner surface of a pivotable lid of a waste disposal can, closure of the lid against a base of the can causes a jarring impact on the lid which results in an amount of the dispensing agent falling through the dispensing opening(s). The lid can also be manually tapped when closed to jar the dispenser.
