Tips for Success
Find where dumpsters and manholes are located. Efficient routes = more money.
You can store trash bags in your inventory to carry more at once.
Prices fluctuate. Sell when the rate is high.
Low levels = low payouts. Grind XP to unlock high-tier recycling.
Check trash cost vs sell value. Glass is often a good balance.
If you can afford your own recycler, you skip the travel to public machines.
