Trash Inc.

TURN MESS INTO A SYSTEM
You have bought a bankrupt recycling yard. It has one gate, no machines, no staff, and a garbage truck that keeps arriving whether you are ready or not.
Start on the ground floor of the waste business: tear open bags, pick up loose materials, and carry every item to the right destination yourself. Then invest your earnings in workers, machines, conveyors, containers, and upgrades until the same chaotic yard runs like a well-oiled recycling operation.

GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY
Before a job can be automated, you do it by hand. Open incoming bags, collect scattered waste, and decide where each material belongs. Improve your reach and carrying capacity to clear deliveries faster and keep hands-on play useful as the facility grows.

BUILD THE FLOW
Install processing machines and connect each stage with conveyors. Materials physically travel through the yard—from the first machine to the next stage and finally into the correct container. Upgrade capacity and processing speed, remove bottlenecks, and turn visible clutter into a satisfying production flow.

PUT A CREW TO WORK
Hire workers to open bags and carry materials across the yard. Improve their speed, capacity, qualifications, work time, and recovery. As the crew develops, workers become visibly more capable and help transform manual sorting into a coordinated operation.

KEEP THE YARD MOVING
Trash does not disappear into a menu. Deliveries occupy real space, workers walk to their jobs, machines fill up, and overloaded areas can slow the entire facility. Balance incoming trucks against worker throughput, machine speed, and container capacity to keep the system moving.
