Recycle trash

Hello. If there's trash on the floor (after repairing something, searching for parts, trash is left), it gives me the option to put trash in inventory instead of "throw out". Then I can go to the recycler I have on my lot, and it let's me put that trash that's in my inventory in the recycler to get the 'parts'.

But if I put trash in the trash can first (of any kind), the only way to get parts from that trash is to "search" the trash can? Why doesn't it just let me empty the trash can into the recycler?

Am I missing something?

  • I think it’s because of the lot trait that generates the trash collector. It needs to have trash you can interact with, either recycle, compost, or take out the trash. If you choose to take out the trash your outdoor bin fills up, and you will be charged for trash pick up. I think adding a recycle all option would have made more sense, but there always seems to be something that gets overlooked. You could just choose take out the trash and cancel the action, then your Sim will just drop it on the floor so you can recycle it that way.
