Garbage Cans will play an animation when interacted with. The top comes off briefly, revealing that the trash inside changes color with the [[seasons]]. A Garbage Can's lid may randomly pop off extra high and play an extra loud sound. In addition, if a [[Garbage Hat]] is found, the can's lid will make an exploding noise, and the lid will disappear for a period of time.

If you interact with a garbage can near any [[Villagers|villager]] other than [[Linus]], you will repulse the villager and lose 25 [[friendship]] points with him/her. The villager must be in a 15x15 square centered at your character to be offended. If Linus catches you digging through a Garbage Can, you will gain 5 friendship points with him.<ref name="villagerreactions" />
