Well looky here, you've decided to clean up your act and make some honest money by cleaning up the streets of Hyland Point. Either that or you've been busted one too many times and need to do some community service.

Either way, we're gonna clean up the streets and rid the town of all the filth and vermin. But all this hard work doesn't happen for free, we're looking to get paid for all this trash collecting. Especially considering some of this waste is a bit of a Sharps hazard...

Here are the prices of each recyclable item. Alongside the price is the item's "weight" in the Trash Grabber, represented in percentages.

Trash can be found all over the place, the roads, sidewalks, yards, bushes, patios, along the coast/shorelines, backyards of houses, inside businesses, basketball courts.... but there's a few places where trash seems to accumulates more.

Front Load Dumpsters



Rear Load Dumpsters



Flood Runoff


Campsite next to the Gas Station

Here's a crudely created map showing all of the Cash for Trash Stations (Star), Dumpsters (Square), and ATMs (Hexagon).



And one that shows just the Cash for Trash Stations and ATMs, cause honestly that might be more useful.

Here's a few tips for recycling:

1. Use the Trash Grabber

It's only $20, and it makes collecting trash so much more fun and efficient. It'll pay for itself almost immediately.

---

2. Use Multiple Trash Grabbers

More is better! You can carry more trash that way, and therefore make even more money.

---

3. The Trash Grabber's Capacity is a Soft Cap

You can load it up to 95% and still pick up a big item like a Bong or Gas Can.

---

4. Don't Overload the Cash for Trash Station

Some items will get pushed slightly "outside" of the incinerator and not recycle. Easy to fix by just picking the trash back up and throwing it back in. Best to just empty the Trash Grabber and immediately collect the payout.

---

5. Don't Prioritize Trash

It's not worth it. Just pick up everything you can find and immediately dump it into a nearby Cash for Trash. In the time it takes you to find and recycle a single load of $3 items, you could have dumped multiple loads of $1 and $2 items and made so much more! Besides, there's so much free trash everywhere, you might as well just take everything you can get!

6. The trash never stops.

It just keeps coming back. You can never get rid of it all, no matter how hard you try. You can get your friends to stop selling drugs and join you in your everlasting quest for cleanliness, but it's just not possible. You could all collect trash from the moment you wake, to the moment the pigs begin chasing you down; but no matter what, when you wake up in the morning, even if you were so sure you had retrieved every last needle and soda can from the mistreated roads of Hyland Point, there will be more. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE MORE!

But you can keep doing your part and make your community cleaner and more enjoyable for everyone.
