Town hall

The Town Hall is a location in Wild World, City Folk and New Leaf where players can deliver letters, recycle items, and is where Tortimer will stand outside during events in Wild World and City Folk. Town Hall replaces the Wishing Well, Dump and Post Office in for Gamecube. It takes place of the Wishing Well by being the center of town, where almost all of the festivities take place. The Town Hall also has the Bulletin Board outside, where players can post info. The Town Hall is also where the player will arrive at the very beginning of to start their new life. The recycling bin takes place of the dump from, and there is a post office inside the town hall.

Civic Center and Post Office
The main area of the Town Hall has a counter that divides the building in to two parts. Anywhere behind the counter is inaccessible to the player, and contains bookcases, mail sacks and the Mayor's desk, where Tortimer can be found sleeping. Pelly and Phyllis also work behind the counter. There are two sections to the front desk - the Civic Center and the Post Office. Each counter has very specific functions.

The Recycling Bin
The recycling bin is one of the surprisingly useful things in the town, and has the same function as the Dump in Animal Crossing for the Gamecube. You can leave any unwanted items here to be taken away at 6am every Monday and Thursday. This can be useful for any items which cannot be sold to Tom Nook, however if the Town Hall is quite a bit further away, you may just choose to sell them for no extra Bells.

The most useful thing the recycling bin can be used for is collecting rare pieces of furniture, or other items. Sometimes, a rare item may appear, which is likely being disposed of by another villager. These items are usually ones that do not appear in the store often, and can be taken by the player to use at no charge whatsoever. Beware though, as if these items are left past 6am on the collection days, they will disappear forever.

It is also amusing to note that if you send another villager an item through mail, it may appear in the recycling bin later, or another item may disappear from their house to replace said item and appear in the recycling bin. This usually happens if the item is one a villager cannot have more than one of, like wallpaper or a stereo.

Automatic Bell Dispenser
The Automatic Bell Dispenser allows players to deposit or withdraw Bells, and to pay their mortgage. The bell dispenser was absent in and was replaced by Pelly, who also controls your banking account and mortgage payment.

The Bulletin Board
The Bulletin Board is a message board outside of the hall, where messages can appear every day. The player can also post their own messages, and is where Tom Nook sends the player to post how "cool" his store is as a job at the start of the game.

Workers

 * Tortimer- The Mayor of the town
 * Pelly- Works at the civic center and post office at daytime
 * Phyllis- Works at the civic center and post office at night
 * Pete- Delivers the post

Music
The music in the town hall will change depending on who is serving you. Pelly's theme is a cheery, bouncy song with a fast whistling melody. Phyllis' contains a very droll, onbeat chord sequence with a very pitchy guitar melody. Both songs give a good idea of each clerk's personality. Smashville in the hit game Super Smash Bros Brawl has Town Hall's music (along with Tom Nook's Theme) play in the background.

Trivia

 * In if a player is imported from, Tortimer will remember meeting them outside the town hall rather than in it, as occurs in Wild World. Pelly or Phyllis will mention the player is in fact a new resident, and Tortimer will dismiss it as déjà vu instead.
 * A Cranky villager will talk about donating bells and hearing Tortimer say that he is going out tonight.
