Trash Truck

In an unconventional approach to stealing from the rich, Franklin and his crew go to work on a trash truck to pull off an elaborate heist.

“Trash Truck” is a critical setup mission in Grand Theft Auto V, where Franklin Clinton is tasked with acquiring a trash truck as part of the prep work for the Union Depository heist. This mission highlights the game’s mix of humor, action, and tactical planning, as players execute the task while avoiding police attention.

The “Trash Truck” mission requires Franklin to locate and steal a garbage truck to be used in a future heist. Players will need to carefully steal the truck from its route, evade any Law Enforcement, and deliver the vehicle to a designated location. This mission emphasizes stealth and precision, offering a unique twist on typical heist preparation by using a mundane trash vehicle as a key tool for a high-stakes robbery.

Objectives

• Locate the trash truck as it follows its daily route.
• Steal the truck while avoiding police attention.
• Deliver the truck to the designated location without drawing attention.
• Ensure the truck is in good condition for the heist setup.

Setting

This mission takes place in various urban areas of Los Santos, focusing on backstreets and Neighborhoods where trash collection routes operate. The environment offers a mix of industrial areas and residential streets, where players must blend in while executing their task.

Objective 1: Locate the Trash Truck

• Start the Mission: The mission begins with a call from Trevor, informing Franklin about the need for a trash truck for the upcoming heist. The location of the truck is marked on the map.
• Find the Route: Drive to the marker and locate the trash truck along its designated route. The truck will be driving through one of the city’s Neighborhoods.
