Stuck? Why it might not be working
- Game crashes when an accelerated Extended Export Bus feeds a Trash CanRead from the jars and not run in game: in All the Mods 10 8.2, at the default multiplier, an Extended Export Bus from ExtendedAE asks its neighbour for 8, 64, 256, 512 or 768 items at 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 speed cards, in one go. By the research's inference, ExtendedAE's Precise Export Bus asks for over 99 at 2 or more cards outside pulse mode, and AdvancedAE's ME Advanced IO Bus asks for up to the same amounts. Trash Cans 1.1.0 accepts the whole stack and keeps it in a list it later saves, and Minecraft's save format allows a stack count of 1 to 99 only. A 768 stack throws an error on save, and the game crashes. Do not feed those buses at 2 or more speed cards into a Trash Can. Trash Cans 1.1.1 is reported to fix it. 8.2 ships 1.1.0.Written for other versions than All the Mons 1.3.0 ships. Some steps may no longer match.

What is Trash Cans?
2 parts
Trash Cans is a small utility mod that gives you a clean way to get rid of stuff you don't want. It adds trash cans that void items, fluids and energy. The pack ships version 1.1.0 of the mod.[1][2]
What each trash can does
- Item Trash Can voids items, and you set up item filters in its GUI.[1][3]
- Liquid Trash Can voids liquids and gasses, with fluid filters set in its GUI.[1][3]
- Energy Trash Can voids energy, and you can set a transfer limit in its GUI.[1][3]
Items and fluids can be filtered as a whitelist or a blacklist. According to the mod's project page there is no limit on how much or how fast you can void. It also keeps the last 6 deleted items, so you can retrieve them if you delete something by accident.[1]
The mod can also void Mekanism nuclear waste, but the project page says that is disabled by default and is switched on in the mod's config file. That is the mod's own default, and the sources don't show whether the pack changes it.[1]
Where it sits in the quest book
The pack's quest book has a quest for it called "Trash Cans" quest, subtitled "Getting Rid of The Excess". It lives in the "Basic Storage" chapter, which is in the "Storage" group and is chapter 30 of 70 in the book. The chapter has 89 quests.[3]
The quest's tasks are the three trash cans listed above, and its text says they destroy unwanted items, liquid and power. The quest list shows no prerequisite for it. The quest list doesn't show which quests come right after it, and 39 of the chapter's quests aren't shown in the sources, so check the book itself for the exact layout.[3]
The chapter intro describes the chapter as the basic ways to store items without needing power. The trash cans sit alongside other storage quests such as "Vanilla Storage" quest, "Sophisticated Storage" quest and "Sophisticated Backpacks" quest.[3]
How do you get started with Trash Cans?
5 parts
Trash Cans is a small mod with one job: getting rid of stuff you don't want. In this pack, the quest book introduces it in the "Basic Storage" chapter, which sits in the Storage group (chapter 30 of 70). The quest is called "Trash Cans" quest, and it asks you for the item, liquid and energy trash cans.[1][3]
Step 1: The Item Trash Can
Start with Item Trash Can. It voids items, and it has a filter for up to 9 items, so you can choose what it destroys instead of deleting everything. Items can be whitelisted or blacklisted.[1][4][5]

Step 2: The Liquid Trash Can
Next, make Liquid Trash Can. It voids liquids and gasses, and it has a filter for up to 9 fluids. Fluids can be whitelisted or blacklisted too.[1][4][5]

Step 3: The Energy Trash Can
Then craft Energy Trash Can. It voids energy, and it can also limit the energy transfer rate. You set that limit inside its GUI.[1][4][5]

Recipe id: trashcans:energy_trash_can
Step 4: The Ultimate Trash Can
Once you have the item, liquid and energy trash cans, you can combine them into Ultimate Trash Can, which voids items, fluids and energy in one block. The recipe uses those trash cans, so don't throw any away early.[4][5]
Where you'll need it next
The Ultimate Trash Can comes up again in the "Mekanism: Reactors" chapter. The quest "Toss it!" quest comes after the Steam quest. It suggests that if you don't need the extra energy from your reactor, you can tube the Steam into an Ultimate Trash Can and delete it.[6]
Unverified The Trash Cans project page says voiding Mekanism nuclear waste is disabled by default and can be enabled in the mod's config file. No config file for this mod is available for the pack, so whether the pack changes that setting is unverified.
How does Trash Cans work?
5 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide
Trash Cans is a simple mod with one job: getting rid of things you don't want. Each can voids a different resource: items, fluids, or energy. The Ultimate Trash Can can void items, fluids and energy in one block.[1][7]
The cans
- Item Trash Can voids items and has a filter that holds up to 9 items.[7][8]
- Liquid Trash Can voids liquids and gasses and has a filter that holds up to 9 fluids.[1][7][8]
- Energy Trash Can voids energy and can also limit the energy transfer rate.[7][8]
- Ultimate Trash Can voids items, fluids and energy in a single block.[7][8]
Filters and limits
Items and fluids can be whitelisted or blacklisted, and you set the filters inside the can's GUI. The energy can's transfer limit is also set in its GUI.[1]
The Ultimate Trash Can combines the other cans' behaviors. It has filters for items and liquids, plus a limit for energy transfer.[1]
Getting items back
If you void something by accident, you can retrieve it. The mod keeps up to the last 6 deleted items.[1]
Crafting
In this pack, the item, fluid and energy cans each use a shaped crafting recipe from the mod. The Ultimate Trash Can uses a shapeless recipe that combines the other cans.[8]
Crafting Shaped
| any stone | any stone | any stone |
| any cobblestone | any wooden chest | any cobblestone |
| any cobblestone | any cobblestone | any cobblestone |
Recipe id: trashcans:item_trash_can
Crafting Shaped
| any stone | any stone | any stone |
| any cobblestone | any empty bucket | any cobblestone |

Crafting Shaped
| any stone | any stone | any stone |
| any cobblestone | any redstone dust | any cobblestone |
| any cobblestone | any cobblestone | any cobblestone |
Recipe id: trashcans:energy_trash_can
This is a shapeless recipe, so the layout in the crafting grid doesn't matter.
What the sources don't confirm
Unverified The mod's project page says voiding Mekanism nuclear waste is disabled by default and can be enabled in the config file. The sources here show no config file for Trash Cans in this pack, so whether you can change that setting here is unverified.
How do you progress through Trash Cans?
4 parts
Trash Cans don't have a long tier ladder. You get three single-purpose cans, then one Ultimate can that covers everything. That keeps this path short and easy to follow.[4]
Where the quest book puts them
The quest "Trash Cans" quest sits in the Basic Storage chapter, which is in the Storage group (chapter 30 of 70 in the book). It asks you to get the Item Trash Can, the Liquid Trash Can and the Energy Trash Can. The book describes them as a way to destroy unwanted items, liquid and power.[3]
Tier 1: the three basic cans
- Item Trash Can gets rid of unwanted items.[3]
- Liquid Trash Can gets rid of unwanted liquid.[3]
- Energy Trash Can gets rid of unwanted power.[3]
Each one is a normal crafting recipe from the mod. Here they are as the pack has them.[4]

Recipe id: trashcans:energy_trash_can
Tier 2: the Ultimate Trash Can
The Ultimate Trash Can is the last step. Its recipe is shapeless and builds on the basic cans, so you need to make those first.[4]
Where you meet the Ultimate can again
The Mekanism: Reactors chapter (Tech group, chapter 51 of 70) has a quest called "Toss it!" quest, which comes after the quest "Steam" quest. It asks you to get an Ultimate Trash Can. The idea is that if you are running a Fission Reactor with water as coolant, you get steam as a byproduct. If you don't need the extra energy, you can tube that steam into the Ultimate can and delete it.[6]
Which All the Mons quests use Trash Cans?
2 parts
Trash Cans show up in two chapters of the quest book. One is the quest that introduces the mod, and the other is a Mekanism reactor tip that uses the top-tier can. They come in this order in the book.[3][6]
Basic Storage (Storage group)
The Basic Storage chapter is chapter 30 of 70 in the book and sits in the Storage group. It has 89 quests. Its quest "Trash Cans" quest is where the mod is introduced, and the book gives it the subtitle "Getting Rid of The Excess".[3]
The quest asks you to get three items: Item Trash Can, Liquid Trash Can and Energy Trash Can. The quest text explains that Trash Cans destroy unwanted items, liquid and power. The book lists no quest that has to come before it. It sits next to other storage intro quests such as "Functional Storage" quest and "Vanilla Storage" quest.[3]
Mekanism: Reactors (Tech group)
The Mekanism: Reactors chapter is chapter 51 of 70 and sits in the Tech group. It has 92 quests. The Trash Can quest here is "Toss it!" quest, called "Toss it!". It asks you to get an Ultimate Trash Can.[6]
It comes after "Steam" quest, which asks for a Basic Chemical Tank and explains that using Water as a coolant gives you Steam as a byproduct. That Steam quest itself follows the chapter's Fission Reactor quest.[6]
The idea behind "Toss it!" is simple. If you don't need more energy and would rather keep your reactor as safe as you can, you can just delete the Steam by tubing it into an Ultimate Trash Can. The quest points out that Steam is pretty much only used by Turbines to make energy.[6]
The sources show only part of the Mekanism: Reactors chapter, because 22 of its 92 quests didn't fit. Anything else in those quests is told in the quest book itself.[6]
