How to Get and Use the Trash Bin
Initially, you need to collect trash using the trash bag, which costs 50 points to purchase from the Alien menu. Whenever you spot trash like tin cans on the ground, get a trash bag and walk up to it to collect it. After collecting all trash, take the bag to the yellow bin in the Alien room and toss it in to collect points.
Later on, you could either purchase the Trashcan for 300 points or the Auto Trashcan for 700 points. With the trashcan, customers will automatically place trash inside. Right-click on the bin to empty it, then carry the trash to the yellow bin.
The Auto Trashcan, on the other hand, will automatically count all the trash inside and convert it to points.

FAQs
Why can’t I empty the trashcan using the trash bag?

How much trash fits inside a trash bag?
The trash bag fits about 6 pieces of trash before it gets full.
What does the large trash bin near the garage outside my store do?
You have to use this trash bin to recycle storage containers that you get from shipments after making purchases for items from the in-game store. Empty fuel tanks will also be tossed here after use. If you toss normal trash into it, they will not be converted into research points.
