Very addicting game, great game to play while listening to a podcast or just taking a minute to chill. Needs more content for the base game or at least discount the DLC in the steam store heavily. Would recommend.

It kept me occupied for hours, so I would that it is a pretty decent games. OF COURSE there are bugs and other things that could be improved, but it seems like the dev has been releasing pretty frequent updates, so I have high hopes for what there is to look forward to in the future. SUMMARY Customers bring you items to put in their respective containers. Put them in the correct one and to earn cash, put them in the wrong one and do not gain or lose anything. Upgrade your operation to be able to sort even more items, some even having their own storage containers, such as chemicals. Upgrade your compactors to make them faster, power wash your containers to earn support from customers, and buy upgrades for the containers to color them or make them more efficient for your use. Continue upgrading your operation and make more cash. I don't have the container truck DLC, so I cannot say whether it makes the game better or not. PROS - Realistic dumpster mechanics, especially the compactors. I really like how the trash crumbles or gets smashed, especially the wood and bulk trash items. - Variety of containers to choose from, each one even works best for different items. I do not recommend putting appliances in a compactor, though. - Many features, like the ability to resell items later in the game, operate the compactors, and upgrade your operation to sort out even more items. - The variety of items to sort and the amount of models there are, each one being pretty detailed and having its own way of breaking into pieces or getting crushed. - Many more pros that I probably forgot, but you get the idea. CONS - A very annoying bug. Every time you enter the shop, it auto saves and takes about 10 seconds to do so. This freezes your game and you cannot do anything until it saves. Again, this happens EVERY TIME YOU ENTER THE SHOP. I believe it takes a while because it saves all of the trash in your containers, but it is probably one of the most annoying things I experience in this game. Though it is better than losing two hours of progress, I suppose. - Very repetitive game once you unlock all of the material types, but I still play it so it can't be that bad. I am sure there are many more features being worked on at this time. - If you don't have the new Container Truck DLC, you are confined to the space of the yard. You cannot leave it. I guess it is a recycling game based in one location, so it wouldn't make sense to leave it. - Sometimes the trash gets stuck in tight spots and you get penalized for not putting it in a container. It doesn't happen very often, though. - Besides putting the materials in their containers and operating the compactors, there really isn't anything else to this game besides adding more materials. Compactors never get damaged, No maintenance to any of the containers. All you have to do is empty them. I'm sure more features will be added soon. - Other buildings outside of the yard could be better quality, but I think everything that the player interacts with is fine. I experience almost no lag while playing, and my computer is probably medium-grade. OVERALL RATING I don't have any major complaints, it kept me occupied for a while and I loved it. I have a strange taste of games, I prefer simulator ones. Somehow, I stumbled across this one, and I'm glad I did. The developer seems active, so I will just sit back and see where this game heads to. I think it has a bright future ahead and a has an opportunity to be a great game if it continues getting worked on and more features are added. It has bugs. Some things I hope get fixed. This game has been out for about 4 months, so I will give it some grace. I think this game should be given a shot, if you are not interested before 2 hours, simply return it. I recommend buying this game.
