How to Scrap Junk in Fallout 4

The way trash is used in the game is what separates a well-built base from a weak little shack that is vulnerable to raiders and other wasteland villains. This complete guide will impart you all the necessary knowledge on How to Scrap Junk in Fallout 4, so let's pay attention.

There are different types of garbage that we can use or throw away, the first category of garbage that will be analyzed includes rusty cars, metals, trees and other various useless items that take up space in our settlements. Most of these can be easily removed (excluding certain buildings) by accessing the construction menu via the Workshop or View button and then pressing R (or the corresponding button on the console) to discard them. A list of items obtained from the scrapyard will be displayed and they will be immediately added to your Workshop inventory, another type of trash that can be scrapped are weapons and armor that we cannot use. To do so, we must visit the respective crafting station and locate the items we wish to discard on the list. Then, we press the SCRAP button (which will be highlighted at the bottom of your screen) and our character will disassemble these weapons and armor.

The worthless rubble

Discard is among the contents of our inventory, which we can access through the GARBAGE tab of our Pip-Boy. This includes various items such as toasters, Nuka Cola bottles, beer bottles, coolant caps, and the vast amount of unnecessary trash currently overflowing from our pockets. We tend to accumulate more items than we could imagine. While we may not have an immediate use for that cigarette carton, it is always best to be prepared, this type of waste can greatly impede our progress. Not only does it consume valuable inventory space, but it can also hinder our efforts to build our base if not treated carefully.

To eradicate this form of waste, we must return to one of our settlements and locate the nearest Workshop. We press R (or the designated button on your console that is used to transfer items) and select the option to STORE ALL GARBAGE. Just like that, we have successfully gotten rid of all our junk and thrown away all the superfluous items we have in our possession. Now, when we embark on building the next expansion of our base, we simply access the construction menu and start erecting walls, as the Workshop will automatically use our trash efficiently.
