I only started the game a few days ago, so I don't have much money yet, but it was clear that the townspeople desperately needed some trash cans, so I bought three of the wooden bins and placed them where I'd found a lot of trash.
Two of the bins still look the way they did when I placed them, but one of them looks as if it's full, since it has a mound of trash on top of it. I tried tapping the bin to empty it, but that didn't do anything. I tried using the shovel and the butterfly net on it, but that didn't do anything. I doubt one empties a trash bin with an axe, a machete, a pickaxe, or a watering can, but I guess anything can happen in a game world.
I don't have to use a demolition order and place a new bin, do I? Because that would be stupid and ridiculous, and I really hope the game isn't stupid and ridiculous!
