Recycling bin

The recycling bin appears inside the Town Hall in and, serving as place for players to discard and recieve unwanted items. It can hold 15 items in, but this was reduced to 12 items in. Every Monday and Thursday at 6 a.m., the recycling bin is emptied.

The recycling bin returns in as a Public works project suggested by Normal villagers. However, it has been renamed the Garbage Can and resembles a Trash bin furniture item. It costs 53,000 bells to build and has an infinite capacity. However, it makes it more difficult for Perfect town status to be achieved.
