Trash



Trash are items in the that can be caught while fishing. There are three types of trash that can be caught in every game: the boot, the empty can, and the old tire. Other trash items include spoiled turnips, es, s, used fountain fireworks, fake art, and any lost items that have expired.

In some Animal Crossing games, they cannot be sold for any Bells and mostly just take up pocket space. If dropped on the ground, trash will decrease the environment rating. They, like rafflesia and spoiled turnips, can be used to attract flies. Giving a villager a trash item will cause them to reject it and negatively impact friendship.

There are several methods to dispose trash, including using the recycling bin (prior to ), interacting with trash bin public works projects or furniture, and using the "sell" option at the store.
