I'm curious. Is there an exact time when the you can pick out an item from the trash can? I've heard that there's only one item per hour but is the item there at the beginning of the hour? the middle? The last quarter of the hour?

I picked an item out a couple of seconds past the hour. it's worked for other people i know.

Hm...okay. lol. I guess I just haven't watched it closely enough or I'm just unlucky. Thanks Sherbet.

I've been wondering that too. Just never thought to ask anyone. Thanks

I believe it's a few seconds after the hour and the hours are random.

It might take me a while to get something then.

It isn't always a few seconds after the hour. When I got the achievement it wasn't til 3 minutes after the hour that I got something out of the trash can and I was checking in and out trying to get something.
