Once you accept the garbage job, your GPS will immediately be locked onto South LS Recycling. Travel there to get started.
Once you’ve arrived, check the Job Listings app on your phone and make sure to go on duty under Garbage Collection
You’ll find an NPC at the top of the stairs at the recycling center. Use your radial menu to interact with him.
You’ll need to rent a garbage truck from this NPC. You’ll have to have cash on you.
The garbage truck will appear down the stairs, you should have keys to this vehicle by default so hop on in to get started
You can now approach all dumpsters and most trash cans around the city and press your E key to start picking up garbage.
You’ll get bags of trash for this, and you’ll load them into the back of the garbage truck using your E key again.
You’ll see at the top right when the dumpster/trash can is completely empty, which will mean you’re free to move on to the next one.
To check if you can empty a trash can, make sure any dumpsters nearby are empty first.
Once your garbage truck is full, you’ll see at the top right that it can’t carry anymore trash. Now it’s time to take it back to the start.
You’ll bring your truck back to where you got it and park it out of the way. Be mindful of others when you park.
Now use your radial menu with the original garbage NPC to empty your garbage truck.
Now use your radial menu with the original garbage NPC to empty your garbage truck.
At this point, you’ll receive the garbage you collected in bags. You’ll get trash that’s not recyclable and sorted stuff as well.
You can sell your bags of trash to the NPC, I’d recommend this for the organic things since it’s just old food. Or…
You can go to the scrapyard and sort through the garbage yourself to see if there’s any goodies that could have been missed.
You sort the bags of garbage by using the garbage bag. Either with your hotbar, or right-clicking it.
This is a good way to get materials that other businesses may need. There are other things you can find as well!
