Recycling is an important activity in The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle world. If you want to protect the environment, you can recycle the items you no longer need instead of replacing or selling them.
You can also sort out recyclable items from dumpsters and turn them into Bits and Pieces for your Fabricator.
Let’s explore how you can recycle efficiently in The Sims 4.
What are the best ways to recycle stuff in The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle?
The best ways to recycle stuff in The Sims 4 is to dumpster dive and sort out recyclable items, do some trash rummaging, and turn unwanted items into Bits and Pieces with the help of the Guntdach Home Recycler.
The Guntdach Home Recycler costs 850 Simoleons. If it’s too expensive for your Sim’s budget, you can use the recyclers from the three Community Spaces of Evergreen Harbor.
Each community space is equipped with a Guntdach Home Recycler.
Keep in mind that after collecting the recyclable items from the trash, you need to use the recycler to turn those parts into Bits and Pieces.
The next step is to feed the Bits and Pieces into the Fabricator and craft recycled items.
You can recycle basically any object, from empty cups of coffee to larger items like pieces of furniture.
Recycling is a handy activity in The Sims 4. You hit two birds with one stone: you get rid of trash and obtain reusable materials.
⇒ Fun Fact:
- Sims that have the Recycle Disciple trait will start recycling household items autonomously if they go too long without recycling anything.
How to find recyclable items in The Sims 4
Finding recyclable materials can be really difficult after starting a new game. All the trash cans and dumpsters are empty when you start a new game.
If there is nothing you can recycle, the option to Sort Out Recycles is unavailable when you click on dumpsters.
You need to spend a few hours in Evergreen Harbour and give the game enough time to populate the world.
If you don’t want to wait, you can load an old save instead.
If you prefer to start a new game, you can get rid of sinks and have your Sims drag dirty cups and plates direct into the trash can.
You can also harvest flowers and recycle them instead of selling them.
If you own City Living, you can find many recyclable items near the food stalls. These areas the typically cluttered up with litter.
