Steel Bin
A classic bin for all your disposal needs.
Notes
The Steel Bin is a world object that functions as a designated waste disposal container, offering a permanent, placed storage option for garbage and recyclable byproducts. As a 1x2x1-footprint structure, it fits conveniently into a settlement's industrial area for collecting categorized waste. A practical tip for towns is to place multiple Steel Bins in a central waste-processing zone, allowing players to sort garbage into different bins for efficient recycling and reduced ground pollution.
