'''Trash''' is a [[:Category:Trash|category]] of items in [[Stardew Valley]]. With the exception of the [[Rotten Plant]], these items have a chance to be collected when [[fishing]], from [[Crab Pot]]s, or from [[Garbage Can]]s. Trash is the less favorable alternative when fishing, as [[fish]] are worth more to sell and have far more uses. However, trash items (other than [[Joja Cola]] and the [[Rotten Plant]]) can be used in a [[Recycling Machine]] to create more useful materials.
A random trash item is caught while fishing, after failing a skill check to spawn every [[fish]] and [[Fish#Other Catchables|other catchables]] currently available at a location. More types of fish currently available at a location generally results in a greater chance of spawning a fish, which results in a decreased chance of catching trash. Trash is therefore much more common when fishing in locations with few types of fish (especially rarer fish), such as [[The Mines]], and trash is the only possible result when [[fishing]] in the [[Farm Pond]] (except on a [[Farm Maps|Riverland Farm]] where all bodies of water are treated as river).
The likelihood of catching trash at most locations will also decrease substantially as [[Fishing#Fishing Skill|fishing skill]] increases.
Catching Trash with a [[Tools#Fishing Poles|fishing pole]] grants 3 [[Fishing]] XP. Harvesting Trash from a [[Crab Pot]] grants 5 Fishing XP. In the fishing minigame at the [[Stardew Valley Fair]], trash items are worth a single point.
