Recycling Bin

The Recycling Bin is an item used for reducing litter. It is only available via the Off The Grid DLC.

Appearance
A rectangular grey receptacle with a blue ridge around the top, and a rubbish bag on the inside for easier disposal of the contents.

Function
Both Patients and Staff use the Recycling Bin to dispose of their rubbish, if bins are not available they will simply drop it on the floor. In addition, patients who need to vomit can use the Recycling Bin to do so without leaving a mess.

Maintenance
Each time litter is placed in a Recycling Bin, it will lose 15% of its maintenance gauge, far more than any other bin. When a patient vomits into it, it will lose 10%. As this gauge falls, the Recycling Bin will develop an increasing effect of negative attractiveness.

A Janitor can be called to empty the Recycling Bin manually by the player, or will do so automatically when the Recycling Bin's maintenance gauge falls below 50%, assuming one is available. Their emptying of it will restore the gauge completely.

Room
Recycling Bins can be placed in every room.

Staff
A is required to empty the Recycling Bin.
