As with most other utility/industrial vehicles in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series, the Trashmaster has no functional purpose, with the exception of GTA Liberty City Stories; it has a side mission entitled [[Trash Dash]], where the player must drive a Trashmaster around the city, picking up garbage in a [[Taxi|Taxi mission]] style way. It is one of the slowest and least maneuverable vehicles in the series, and in GTA III, it has the lowest point value when destroyed, 10. Despite its shortfalls, the Trashmaster tends to be one of the heaviest and hardest trucks available in the game. The Trashmaster in GTA San Andreas is notably faster and features a different Engine compared to the other GTA III era games.

The Trashmater is commonly found driving in the industrial sections of each city. The Trashmaster in GTA IV only spawns in the early hours of the morning; it also has a functioning back door, although it can only be operated during the mission [[Taking in the Trash]], where [[Niko Bellic]] must drive to waypoints, picking up diamond-filled trash bags along the way.
It is one of the slowest and least maneuverable vehicles in the series, and in GTA III, it has the lowest point value when destroyed, 10; the Trashmaster in GTA San Andreas however is notably faster and emits a different engine noise compared to the other GTA III era games. Despite its shortfalls, the Trashmaster tends to be one of the heaviest and most durable trucks available in the game.
 
In GTA IV, the Trashmaster's trash crusher can also be operated by tapping the handbrake button. This comes into play during the mission "[[Taking in the Trash]]"; the men the player is working with will only throw targeted trash bags containing [[diamonds]] into the truck when the crusher is open. However, the player is not told the control for operating the crusher.
