These are converted decor items from Fiddledeedee’s extracted Half-Life 2 collection. I separated the mesh (for the lid), jointed the mesh, so that the lid can be opened, added the trash & the shadows and also, added missing faces, otherwise there would have been no “insides”. Also had to edit a bhav, otherwise they wouldn’t have worked properly. All in all, it was quite a bit of work, which I didn’t really think about upon starting them. Once I had though, I really wanted them finished. Seems I like to torture myself lol… No, not really, I just wanted to see if they would work at all.
There are 2 versions. One is for Seasons which you absolutely need for it to work as it is a compost bin and works as such. The other version should work in any game as the base cloned was a regular trashcan. Depending on the kind of stuff to be disposed (i.e. newspapers or leaves in Seasons), click on “recycle” or on “compost” in the menu of the item you’re getting rid of. Both use the animations of the bases they were cloned from. That means the trashcan lid opens up like a flip-lid and the lid of the compost bin is held by the sim.
As for the recolours: here in Germany the yellow one is used for plastic wrappers and bottles, the brown one is for bio-degradable waste and the light blue one is for paper & cardboard. I don’t know what other countries use. The dark blue one is the texture from the Half-Life mesh.
A few more pics – open & closed states.

Both have unique Guids, so you can use both in your game at the same time.
