Garbage Job
Written from the live server data for this feature — locations, recipes and prices are read straight from the jobs setup, not estimated.
Garbage Job is the biggest-paying legal job in the city, and you can start it at level 1 with $100 in your pocket. Take a truck out of the Davis depot, work a list of dumpsters around the map, throw the bags on the back, then bring it in and burn what's left. Work it solo or bring a crew of up to four.
Overview
- Type: Legal collection job — solo or a crew of up to 4
- Where: Depot in Davis, dumpsters city-wide
- Payout: A fixed fee of $5,000–25,000 per task, paid in clean cash
- Risk: None — fully legal, no timer, no police
Requirements
- Level 1 to start. Your level unlocks the bigger tasks — 14 tasks across 7 levels, two per level.
- No whitelist — anyone can clock on. You don't need to be hired.
- A job uniform is put on you automatically when you go on duty.
Required item:
| Item | Spawn code | Where to get | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garbage Tablet | garbage_tablet |
The shop ped beside the depot employer, -316.97, -1541.48, 26.68 |
$100 |
The tablet is how you pick a task. If you lose it, /garbagejob opens the same menu — both
only work while you're on garbage duty.
How to Start
- Go to the employer ped at the Davis depot and toggle garbage duty on.
- Buy the garbage tablet ($100) from the ped standing next to him.
- (Optional) Invite up to 3 more players — they join with
/acceptgarbage. Only the lobby leader can start a task, and the crew can't be bigger than the task allows. - Open the tablet, pick a task your level has unlocked, and the truck spawns behind the depot.

-316.97, -1541.48, 26.68, right beside him. - Truck spawn: 8 slots behind the depot, around
-329.28, -1519.96. - Dumpsters: 20 spots across the city — one is marked on your GPS at a time, and you never get the same one twice in a row.
- Burn point (hand-in):

Step-by-Step
- Clock on at the employer ped and buy the tablet.
- Pick a task. The truck spawns behind the depot with the keys in it.
- Drive to the marked dumpster. Wheel the dumpster to the truck, then carry 3 bin bags over to it. That's one dumpster done — the next one gets marked.
- Repeat until you've cleared the task's dumpster count (3 to 10, depending on the task).
- Drive back to the burn point and destroy 3 bags per crew member to close the run.
- The fee and EXP land the moment the last bag burns.
/leavegarbagetaskcancels a run.
What You Get & Where to Sell It
Nothing to sell — the fee is paid straight into your cash at the burn point. On top of it, every bag you throw has a 50% chance to split open and drop one recycling material:
| Item | Spawn code | What it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Scrap | metalscrap |
Crafting material |
| Copper | copper |
Crafting material |
| Plastic | plastic |
Crafting material |
| Aluminum | aluminum |
Crafting material |
| Glass | glass |
Crafting material |
You throw 3 bags per dumpster, so a run is 9–30 bags — roughly 5–15 materials. Nothing in the city sells these, so keep them: they're crafting stock, and this is the cleanest and safest way to farm them.
💰 Cost vs Reward
The fee is paid to every crew member in full — it is not split. What changes is your own cut: every dumpster you personally clear takes 10% off your share of the fee. So the job pays best when a crew spreads the dumpsters between them instead of one person doing all of it.
Solo, that works out to:
| Task | Level | Fee | Dumpsters | Solo take | Full crew of 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1, #2 | 1 | $5,000 | 3 | $3,500 | $18,500 |
| #3, #4 | 2 | $8,000 | 5 | $4,000 | $28,000 |
| #5, #6 | 3 | $10,000 | 5 | $5,000 | $35,000 |
| #7, #8 | 4 | $12,000 | 5 | $6,000 | $42,000 |
| #9, #10 | 5 | $15,000 | 6 | $6,000 | $51,000 |
| #11 | 6 | $18,000 | 7 | $5,400 | (2 players max) |
| #12 | 6 | $18,000 | 10 | $0 ⚠️ | $54,000 |
| #13 | 7 | $25,000 | 8 | $5,000 | (2 players max) |
| #14 | 7 | $25,000 | 8 | $5,000 | $80,000 |

Tips & Common Mistakes
- Always run it as a crew. Everyone gets the whole fee, so four people on one task is four times the money — and splitting the dumpsters keeps everybody's cut high.
- ⚠️ Never run Task #12 solo. Ten dumpsters on your own wipes out the entire fee. Take it with a crew or take Task #11 instead.
- Grab the bags, not just the dumpster. A dumpster only counts once all 3 bags are on the truck.
- Don't forget the burn step — 3 bags per crew member at the depot. No burn, no pay.
- Keep the materials. No shop buys them, and they're the cheapest crafting stock on the server.
