Revision 4

Overview

Wastepaper is an item in Pokemon Pokopia classified as a litter material. It is one of the most common materials a player will accumulate and is the input for paper crafting via the Recycle specialty.

Where to Find Wastepaper

How to Use Wastepaper

Wastepaper feeds into the recycling chain. Bring a Pokemon with the Recycle specialty near a community box stocked with wastepaper, and that Pokemon will convert it into Paper over time. Paper is then used in books, signs, decorations, and other crafting recipes.

Pokemon That Turn Wastepaper Into Paper

Any Pokemon with the Recycle specialty can recycle wastepaper. Common early-game options include Trubbish and Garbodor. Place a community box near your Recycle Pokemon's home, drop wastepaper into it, and the Pokemon will work through the pile passively.

Tips

• Wastepaper is one of the easiest litter items to gather. Always pick it up rather than leaving it on the ground; it stacks high and feeds many recipes.

• Pair a Recycle Pokemon with a Litter Pokemon for an automated trash-to-paper pipeline. The Litter Pokemon drops wastepaper, and the Recycle Pokemon converts it.

• Stockpile paper before tackling any recipe that requires it in bulk; many decoration items need multiple sheets per craft.

• When clearing a new region, sweep wastepaper into a community box first so it does not despawn.

• Wastepaper holds little trade value at the Cash Register, so prefer to recycle it into paper rather than sell it raw.
