Primitive Bin
A basic container to put garbage into, should probably replace it when you can. Better than a stockpile but still contaminates surroundings.
Notes
The Primitive Bin is a low-tier, 1x1x1 storage container that keeps garbage out of a stockpile but still contaminates the ground around it, as noted in its description. It fits in the very early game as a basic waste storage upgrade from a stockpile, but players should plan to replace it with a proper sealed container or waste-processing solution as soon as possible.

The smell tells you when to haul it out. It holds the worst of your waste, though the ground beneath still drinks its poison.
