USE:

  1. Use form one when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, you're only carrying one box in your inventory.
  2. Use form two or three when more information is needed to interpret the command — that is, there's more than one possible item by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, you're carrying a small box, a large box, etc.
  3. Use form two or three when more information is needed to interpret the command — that is, there's more than one possible item by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, you're carrying a small box, a large box, etc.
  4. Use form four when there are many instances of <thing> in your inventory, and you want to trash one of them in particular.
  5. Use form five when you want to trash everything in your inventory. Note the Trash All command does NOT trash your money.

Note that items must be currently in your inventory to be trashable. If you're wearing something, you'll have to remove it before you can trash it. You can't trash an item in the room without getting it first.

When you trash an item, it's transported immediately directly to the TriadCity landfill in the Southern Third, where it can be made use of by any character who wants it. You don't have you carry that item to the landfill: it gets there by itself.

Trashing in its way is an altruistic action, intended to cut down on litter. You have other alternatives, such as simply dropping an item you don't want anymore. There are some schools of thought which believe trashing brings rewards, subtle or otherwise. Scholars and historians debate this question from time to time.

Not every item is necessarily trashable. You may find you're unable to trash some particular thing. As with all commands, the Game Channel will record the outcome of your action.
