Modern Recycling Bin
A plastic garbage bin.
Notes
The **Modern Recycling Bin** is a placed storage container used to deposit recyclable materials. It fits as a mid-to-late-game waste-management object, allowing players to separate recyclables from general refuse in their settlements or industrial areas. To run an effective recycling program, place these bins in high-traffic zones like workshops or town centers, and pair them with a government law that bans recyclable items from regular garbage bins to ensure materials are actually diverted.
