Modern Garbage Bin

A plastic garbage bin.

Notes

The Modern Garbage Bin is a placed storage container for holding waste items, crafted as a plastic bin from the Modern Garbage Bin recipe. It functions as a dedicated receptacle in a workspace or town to collect garbage blocks created by crafting byproducts. Because raw garbage emits pollution while sitting loose, storing it in a bin can help contain the mess before you take it for sorting and recycling.
