Rubbish - why keep it???

I have a section of nuclear waste attached to my power plant, a fenced off section houses the hazardous material barrels as well as other waste. It's worthwhile having a few pieces of junk dotted around the Spuckler household to add to the general scene of devastation his house seems to be.

    So it just aesthetic?


    Yes. Some people use it around the muntz house, the power plant and in the "ghetto" part of town to name a few. I clean it up as soon as I buy land (if someone is available to clean it) otherwise I will move it and clean it later. I haven't kept any.
  • I used to clean up all my trash immediately. However, I switched and have been hoarding trash since I know I can't get it back. It's kind of annoying for the time being, but I don't want to permanently get rid of it even though it bothers me for the time being. I'm not sure how I want to use it yet, but I know I want the OPTION of eventually using it.

    My problem is I saw it on a few friends places and thought it was a great idea for a few barrels and a radiation pool on the border between the power plant and Cletus farm however Lisa had other ideas the next time I expanded and tried to clean it up she went right there and cleaned the ones I was trying to keep lol

    You can actually place a piece of trash "bait" near Lisa or Homer for one of them to grab hold of then go to your move menu to move the trash with Homer or Lisa attached. I then move the trash to an area where I have trash that I do not wish to keep. If you design with certain items of trash, hide extra behind a building (use the hide building function in the move stage to find the trash thus hidden) to replace if Homer & Lisa manage to grab one from your design.

    You can also move the trash to them before you release them from finishing a task. They can be fast when you don't want them to be!

    I have some trash near the Cletus & Muntz homes and around Kang's ship's crash site. I clean up immediately otherwise.

    I'm the EXACT same. For the time being I just hide it behind buildings but its a nuisance when I move those buildings around, which I tend to do a lot. I plan to get the tyre fire with my next donut purchase so I'm planning on hauling all the thrash I have a making the Springfield dump out of it.
  • I keep a few pieces near the nuclear plant for aesthetic purposes but otherwise clean up the rest....certain trash piles can contain donuts (I've found 3 or 4 in there so far) so the allure of hidden donuts keeps my town neat and tidy
