Searching a Red Dumpster.

Dumpsters are large bins used for storing waste and rubbish. Dumpsters have appeared in all Grand Theft Auto games, but only in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars have they had an actual intended use. In Chinatown Wars, the player can go up to a red or green dumpster to search it. A minigame will start in which the player removes trash bags from the dumpster to find items. Green dumpsters contain a number of items, whilst red dumpsters contain weapons hidden by the Triads. Once a dumpster has been searched, you can come back to it some time later to search it again.
