While I know the Reuse and Recycle lot trait produces trash in the inventories of SIM doing things such as cooking or dumpster diving, I personally don't think it's appropriate for it to be ending up in a child or toddler's inventory. Teens are more responsible and it doesn't bother me quite so much, but as for the younger ones it just doesn't feel right.
No parent wants to see their little ones make messes or get into the trash. Hence the parenthood ability to correct them when they do and it changes characteristic values that will eventually become behavioral traits. Although now if the parent is REALLY into recycling for their job, say a maker like my girl is, she has to choose her passion for recycling and an easy way to get the bits and pieces for her job and being a good parent without that useful lot trait to keep trash out of her children's inventory.
I don't know if this is a bug, per say. Since it does warn in the lot trait more trash is going to be created on that lot if you use this trait. However there were some SIMs getting said extra trash that I didn't think should. So I thought putting it here in the discussions to express what my concerns were would keep things where they are meant to be. Feel free to move this to the bug thread if I'm wrong and in that case I'm sorry for the mistake.
Edit: I learned EL stands for Edition Legacy and Eco was the correct pack assignment for Eco Lifestyle. Sorry about that.
