Located immediately north of the Cordon, the Garbage is best characterized by the gigantic, irradiated heaps of equipment left there after the initial 'cleanup' of the Chernobyl NPP. The area shows high bandit presence, and loners transversing it are always in risk of getting robbed or otherwise assailed by these vagabonds. To the north is a Duty outpost guarding the gate to the industrial town of Rostok. To the east and west are passages to the Dark Valley and the Agroprom holds, respectively. The Garbage has a high concentration of low-level artifact substances in relatively open places. However, most of these areas are quite heavily irradiated.
