Trash

Trash in the are worthless items that can be caught while fishing. They cannot be sold for any Bells and mostly just take up pocket space. They, like Rafflesia and rotten turnips, can be used to attract flies.

Types
There are three types of trash that can be caught.

In and
In Animal Forest and Animal Crossing, trash is a lot rarer than in the other games, but it does exist.

In
Trash in Wild World, when pulled out of the water, has the specific appearance of the item, though when dropped, all types of trash appear as a hunk of garbage. Trash is also more common in Wild World.

In
In City Folk, trash is uncommon. It serves the same purpose as in previous games.

In
In New Leaf, trash says largely the same as in Wild World and City Folk, though an 80 Bell fee is required to dispose of it when selling, instead of it being free.

Functions
The only significant function of these items are their attractiveness to flies. If trash is dropped on the ground outside, flies may be seen buzzing around the trash later. Setting these items next to wilting flowers may help them come back to life.

Disposal
There are several ways to rid oneself/one's town of trash:


 * 1) Send it as a gift to a neighbors. They will accept trash as they would any other gift, and often give something useful in return.
 * 2) Send it to a friend's town, making it his/her burden.

 * 1) Go to Tom Nook and sell it to him. He will tell you that he can not buy it, but can dispose of it. Accept, and he will take it.
 * 2) Go to Tom Nook with something to sell, along with the trash. Sell him the trash along with the other item(s). Nook will not mention anything about the trash.
