The longer you play Stardew Valley , the more you will find new content, secrets, and interesting NPCs. One of the most unusual characters in Stardew Valley is Trash Bear, who seems to love cleaning. Finding him is not easy, especially when you don’t know where to look. Plus, before Trash Bear shows you his cleaning skills, you’ll need to complete a few requests for him.
Where To Find Trash Bear
Some events or NPCs appear in Stardew Valley after you meet certain conditions. And in the case of Trash Bear, you need to wait for Year 3 and non-rainy weather. For some reason, this Bear doesn’t like rain, even though he has an umbrella. In any case, when it’s not raining, head south to Cindersap Forest. Then go to the sewer pipe at the edge of the cliff, and you should easily find Trash Bear in Stardew Valley.
When you interact with Trash Bear, he will ask you to bring him 2 foraged items or fish and then 2 cooked dishes. In other words, you will receive 4 requests in turn. However, depending on the season, Trash Bear will ask you for different foraged items or fish. Fortunately, if one of the items is seasonal, and the season has changed, then the Bear will change the quest so that you don’t have to wait a whole year. For your convenience, below we have collected all the possible items that Trash Bear will ask you depending on the season in Stardew Valley.

- He will remove all pollution near the drain pipe.
- He will fix the dog’s house and clean up the trash near Pam and Penny’s house.
