Rubbish Dump Day, Saturday, May 3rd!


Welcome to the 1st Saturday of the month: Rubbish Dump Day!

In April 2022, TNT updated the Rubbish Dump to increase the drop rate of "rubbish" eligible for the avatar. (And we've even seen some Hidden Tower items pop up that weren't previously confirmed as prizes!)

The Rubbish Dump is special in that items dropped there appear after a Neopian refreshes the dump. (In other words, refreshing the page gives you the chance to "donate" some rubbish to the queue.) The more people visiting and refreshing, the more rubbish dropped, and the more opportunities there are for avatar items to appear!

Starting now, and continuing all day, here's how you can gather and participate:

If you DON'T have the avatar...
  • Visit the Rubbish Dump in Meridell and refresh to generate rubbish!
  • Claim up to 8 pieces of rubbish to clear the way for more items to appear. (And make sure not to claim anything from the Money Tree or Second-Hand Shoppe... it's 10 items max from all 3 locations combined!)
  • To be safe from accidental clicks, save your last 2 rubbish claims for when an avatar item pops up. (You can claim up to 10 items from the Rubbish Dump per day.)
  • Review our guide to familiarize yourself with which items are eligible for the avatar.

If you DO have the avatar...
  • Visit the Rubbish Dump in Meridell and refresh to help generate rubbish! Even if you have the avatar, refreshing helps generate more "donations" that will show up later. (And that means more opportunities for avatar items to pop up!)
  • Claim up to 10 pieces of rubbish to help clear the way for avatar-eligible items to appear.
  • Be kind and leave the cheaper avatar-eligible items (like the Fading Bottled Faeries) for those who need the avatar! We won't mind, however, if you try sniping a Dung Catapult.

The more the merrier, so share this post with your Neofriends and guildmates!

As you participate, let us know in the comments what junk—or treasures—you've seen or picked up! And let us know if you get the avatar so we can celebrate with you.


Can't get enough rubbish? Mark your calendars and join us on the first Saturday of next month—June 7th—for our next Rubbish Dump Day!

Huh, a lot of news posts where I can't comment on... but at least I can always count on Rubbish Dump Day~! Woohoo! I hope you all have a great day, diving into rubbish. I shall do my part and pick up some trash.

Now keep in mind that we shouldn't burden the poor Money Tree with this rubbish, so either eat what you pick, save it in your Safety Deposit Box, or discard your stuff~!

Must have gone to the rubbish dump at a really busy time, by the time I picked up my junk there were only 5 items left on the page. Never seen that before. It slowly filled up with more items over the next minutes, didn't see anything interesting pop up.

I don't understand all these closed comments... If some people are saying hurtful things, why not simply ban / silence *them* from the site and let users that can talk politely engage in comments? It feels like everyone gets punished because *some* can't behave, and it's... pretty annoying.

That said, I love Rubbish Dump Day Saturday... I got this elusive avatar during one, and always try to clear some space from that poin on every time it occurs!

Really annoyed that we‘re not getting the Lupe capsule items. At least switch them up to not look as much like from the HP universe, but I‘m a HP fan and really loved the concept of the werewolf themed items.

Disabled comments again? well, at least TNT managed the Lupe day situation properly, I still have a dislike for the paid pet day capsules, though

I think given how rapid fire the trolls were being and the fact they have a tendency to make multiple accounts, there wasn’t a good option to just ban and keep the comments open without requiring mods to monitor it around the clock.

got it

will this be the day I actually get something good from the dump?
by akarroa on May 3, 2025 5:49 PM NST
Took 8 Broken Spoons and 2 Bits of Barbed Wire.

I saw a bottled faerie! Hope that that got someone the avatar!

Grabbing some garbage and saw a bottled Faerie. Congrats to whomever got it!
by sycatt on May 3, 2025 9:46 PM NST
I didn't manage to grab anything on Saturday, but I did manage to snatch up a bottled faerie after rollover and after the rubbish dump had reset back to a small amount of items. Finally!

Besides another avatar for my collection, I'm excited to collect more trash items every day and give others more chances! :3

didn't manage to get anything good, but I'm impressed to see it's actually completely empty right now! I don't think I've seen that before
by shadowfrost on May 4, 2025 9:22 AM NST
I finally got the avatar and snagged an everlasting apple! Thank you to anyone who helped clear the rubbish! I will be sure to do my part next month.

i'm guessing cabbageoil from this comment section never had any problem with the literal decades of homophobia and transphobia on neopets. and the phrasing of "lgb" instead of "lgbt" definitely makes me sure i'm right.
by ghoulbutch on May 4, 2025 11:34 PM NST
To address the numerous posts without comments enabled, it's due to the Lupe Day commentary that brought out the transphobes who were upset about TNT doing the right thing and not releasing content that pays homage to works created by a severely anti-trans figure.

We do not have 24/7 moderation here, so we thought it best to close off comments rather than have some unsavoury comments come in overnight and stay up too long.

We've since gone through and revoked comment privileges for any account that gave so much of a whiff of anti-trans sentiment. Those ideas and feelings are not welcome here on Jellyneo, and we'll continue taking away comment privileges from anyone who expresses them. We've always done that in the past, that's not new--but it seems like over the past 6 months or so we've been getting more of it, unfortunately.

We stand with our trans (and all LGBTQIA+) visitors--we have a number represented on staff--and we'll continue to remove any posted comments that do not feel the same.
