Garbage cans and garbage bins are containers used for the disposal of garbage. While they can hold less household refuse than trash compactors, they don't wear down or break. Garbage cans can be found in buy mode under "Appliances -> Large Appliances" or in "Miscellaneous" depending on the game, and in the Kitchen section sorted by room.

The Sims 2

Sims with less than two neat points can "Salvage" from the trash can, which yields the scavenging Sim a few Simoleons if they find something. This will come at a slight cost to hygiene. Passersby may also kick the trash can over if they are enemies or furious with one of the members of the household, or if they have very few nice points. Children and teens with a low aspiration score may also autonomously kick the trash can, and messy pets may knock it over. A trash can that has been knocked over will produce a pile of trash, and must be picked up by a teen or older Sim before they can be used for garbage disposal again.

The trash chute appears in the communal areas of most premade apartment lots and functions similarly to the outdoor trash can, allowing residents living on the upper floors to dispose of their trash without having to go all the way to the first floor. The trash chute does not need to be emptied and can be placed inside apartments or even on regular residential lots. Sims will typically use the trash chute if it is closer than the outdoor trash can.

The Sims 3

Trash cans can be moved around in The Sims 3 without the use of the moveobjects cheat. Like in The Sims 2, Sims can be directed to rummage through trash cans, and may also do so autonomously even if they lack the slob trait. Unlike previous games, the player can simply drag and drop disposable items, such as newspapers and plates, onto the garbage can to dispose of them.

If Ambitions is installed, Sims working in the investigator profession may be tasked with searching through another Sim's trash can to gather evidence. The Sim will stop searching if they are spotted by any of the household members, although there does not appear to be any additional consequences to this.

-Unlike in the past, outdoor trashcans can be moved around without <code>[[moveobjects]]</code> cheat. A Sim, for unknown reason, with or without the [[Slob (The Sims 3)|slob]] trait may rummage these trashcans or dumpsters. Just like in ''The Sims 2'', the player can also direct a Sim to rummage on command. Sim's that rummage will have their [[ hygiene]] decrease. With the upgraded intuitive [[inventory]] system, players can manually dispose recyclable by clicking and dragging the item to the container. Oddly enough, plates and bowls can also be thrown away this way.
