Dumpster

A dumpster is an object in The Sims 3 and The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle. Sims can dumpster dive in one to retrieve valuable ― or worthless ― items based on outcome.

The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle
In The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle, the dumpster can, mainly, be used to dispose of trash. Like all other outdoor garbage cans, dumpsters are considered to be "bottomless", meaning they will never need emptying. If the Reduce and Recycle lot trait is used, however, they will stop being "bottomless" and will have to be emptied by a garbage collector every week.

In addition to using it as a garbage can, Sims can dumpster dive for a variety of reasons, including for "deals" (furniture and decorations), for meals, and for "thrills" (WooHoo). They also have the option to nap in dumpsters. Climbing into a dumpster will deplete Sims' hygiene needs, and will make them feel uncomfortable.
