The Box of Garbage Bags is a store box packed with folded garbage bags. It is a supply item rather than a bag of its own. Each use of the Take Garbage Bag recipe pulls one Garbage Bag out of the box, and a full box holds up to 20.
Garbage bags are useful well beyond the trash. A single Garbage Bag is a very light container with plenty of room. Garbage bags are also a crafting material for rough clothing. A full box is a cheap way to stock up on all of these at once.
The box is found in grocery stores, janitor's rooms, gas station storage, school storage and general stores. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
