Garbage can

Garbage cans and garbage bins are containers used for the disposal of garbage. While they can hold less household refuse than trash compactors, they don't wear down or break. Garbage cans can be found in buy mode under "Appliances -> Large Appliances" or in "Miscellaneous" depending on the game, and in the Kitchen section sorted by room.

The Sims 2
Sims with less than two neat points can "Salvage" from the trash can, which yields the scavenging Sim a few Simoleons if they find something. This will come at a slight cost to hygiene.

Trash Trapper 910i
Comes in white, green, pink, blue and yellow.

'Right Away' Community Trash-Can
This garbage can replaces the traditional galvanized trash can on community lots. More can be purchased from buy mode.

Trash-Tahk Trash Chute
The trash chute appears in the communal areas of most premade apartment lots and functions similarly to the outdoor trash can, allowing residents living on the upper floors to dispose of their trash without having to go all the way to the first floor. The trash chute does not need to be emptied and can be placed inside apartments or even on regular residential lots. Sims will typically use the trash chute if it is closer than the outdoor trash can.
