Are you dreaming of being rich and famous all around the world? Do you want to make billions of dollars and build your own Empire as a real magnate? Then you’ll definitely like the Trash Tycoon game! You’ll become the Savior of our planet, besides the fact that you’ll make a lot of money by selling garbage. And your success will make other people reflect on the environmental problems around them — save the ecology, protect nature, forests, and fields. In Trash Tycoon idle clicker, you will build objects for reprocessing all types of rubbish. Develop your idle factories, compactors, and containers, construct equipment for compressing trash into garbage cubes for further sale. Oddly enough, many people are involved in this scavenger hunt and want to use rubbish after recycling. The environmental activists will definitely thank you. You’ll have an opportunity to clean up all the dirtiest places on our planet: the city of Varanasi, the Mediterranean Sea, the volcano Vesuvius, the Grand Canyon, the Samsun coast, the Rub al Khali desert, the Mendenhall glacier, the Amazon jungle, the savanna of Africa and the forests of Russia. Clearing all these places of trash is such a troublesome business, but you can earn cash on it and become a real Trash Tycoon. Prehistory: You inherited an abandoned landfill from your grandpa somewhere on the outskirts of your hometown. At the landfill, you will meet a binman - your grandfather's assistant who has been recycling garbage for many years so far. Start earning your first coins using an old rusty manual compactor. And then the story can go in different ways, and only you choose the path. How to play: It is easy to play in the Trash Tycoon simulator. To compress your first garbage cube, you just need to click on the compactor. The faster you click, the more trash you get. And gradually you will be able to build an enormous Trash Empire! After compressing the first batch of garbage, it's time to sell it on the stock exchange. Watch the quotes to choose the best moment to salvage a big score. Once you get that taste and upgrade your compactor and container — move to a higher level to discover new horizons. Start clearing out the dirtiest places on our planet. And in case you get bored — this Trash2Cash simulator game has lots of exciting branches. For instance, you can carry out archaeological excavations in the mine, explore and invent new equipment in the Laboratory, make details to upgrade compactors in the Forge, fight for the best lots with a lot of cash in the Auction and much more. But the main offshoot will be the Racing World — the Garbage Truck Races, to be exact. You will be able to collect your first racing truck from trash and rush into the elite of this scavenger sports world. Features: • the Trash Tycoon game does not require a permanent Internet connection; • you can play this ecoclicker with one hand, so it won’t be difficult to play in the subway, on the bus, or even in the toilet; • some trash will be collected offline, meanwhile, you are not playing the game; • the Trash Tycoon simulator game does not have annoying ads (an ecoclicker should lack obnoxious ads, don’t you think so?); A small life hack from the developer: log in to the Trash Tycoon game several times a day to speed up your journey from trash to cash. This way you’ll succeed faster, Idle Tycoon. Forward to the eco-adventure!
