Trash

From Nookipedia, the Animal Crossing wiki

"Boot" redirects here. For the villager, seeBoots.

Trash are items in theAnimal Crossing series that can be caught whilefishing. 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 includespoiled turnips,tree branches,rusted parts, used fountain fireworks,fake art, and anylost items that have expired.

In someAnimal Crossing games, they cannot be sold for anyBells and mostly just take uppocket space. If dropped on the ground, trash will decrease theenvironment rating. They, likerafflesia and spoiled turnips, can be used to attractflies. Giving avillager a trash item will cause them to reject it and negatively impactfriendship.

There are several methods to dispose trash, including using therecycling bin (prior toNew Horizons), interacting with trash binpublic works projects orfurniture, and using the "sell" option at the store.

Appearances[edit]

InAnimal Crossing[edit]

In thefirst-generationAnimal Crossing games, trash has a 5% chance of being fished up from any fish shadow.Empty cans come from tiny and small shadows,boots come from medium and large shadows, andold tires come from very large and huge shadows. Trash cannot be fished up if the player has full pockets.

When pulled from the water, each trash item has a unique sprite, though when dropped, all types of trash appear as a pile of garbage.

To dispose trash, the player can give the item toTom Nook, in which he will dispose the item as he cannot buy it for Bells. The player can also drop the trash item in thedump.

InWild World[edit]

InAnimal Crossing: Wild World, trash is much more commonly encountered. They can be disposed either through Tom Nook or the recycling bin, where trash cannot appear.

InCity Folk[edit]

InAnimal Crossing: City Folk, trash is uncommon, serving the same purpose as in previous games. It can be disposed either through Tom Nook or the recycling bin.

InNew Leaf[edit]

InAnimal Crossing: New Leaf, trash functions largely the same in the previous games. If the Keep Town BeautifulOrdinance is in effect, trash will not appear.

There are two methods of disposing trash inNew Leaf. Firstly, the player can give the trash toReese atRe-Tail to dispose it, but the player will need to pay a fee of 80Bells. Fishing out trash and disposing of it at Re-Tail increases theapproval rating needed for the development permit. Secondly, the player can dispose trash either using the garbage can public works project or a furniture that can dispose trash. Other players can also use these objects to remove the trash.

InNew Horizons[edit]

InAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, the player is freely able to sellboots,empty cans, andold tires toNook's Cranny for 10Bells each. However,Timmy and Tommy will not accept forgeries, while expired lost items ("What was this again?") will be disposed of for free. They can also use a trash bin furniture (such as thegarbage pail) to dispose trash.
