The Trash Dash side mission is an optional vehicle mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories in which the player collects garbage dumpsters by using the Trashmaster. It is not required to complete in-game unless the player's goal is to reach 100% completion.

Gameplay[]

The mission can be started by pressing the mission trigger button only when inside a Trashmaster, available on each of the three islands. Once started, the player has no time limit, but once the first dumpster is collected, the timer starts with either 30 seconds for every dumpster on Portland, or 40 seconds on Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale. Once all the dumpsters are picked up, the player has to return to the Harwood junkyard in Portland Island, no matter which island the player is on when starting the mission.

Rewards[]

  • Portland – $2,000
  • Staunton Island – $3,000
  • Shoreside Vale – $4,000

Trivia[]

  • A similar Trashmaster side mission was meant to be featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, but it was cut during development.
  • Even though the trash must be brought to the Harwood junkyard no matter in which borough of the city the mission was started, there is no legal way for the Trashmaster to reach Portland from Staunton Island or Shoreside Vale.
    • The Callahan Bridge is under construction, formally closed to traffic.
    • The ferry service won't accept to transport the Trashmaster, as it is too big and too heavy to board the ferry.
