Trash can

The trash can or rubbish bin is a shield used by Trash Can Zombie in the console editions of Plants vs. Zombies. It contains a large amount of trash/rubbish. It is very strong and takes a while to be destroyed. It can be taken away by the Magnet-shroom. It is also immune to the splash damage of peas lit up by Torchwoods as well as frozen peas.

Overview[]

It absorbs 800 damage. It changes its appearance upon absorbing 280 and 540 damage before disappearing after 800 damage.

Strategies[]

The trash can is very strong and the zombie that holds it is not affected by frozen peas or fire peas' splash damages. You can steal it with a Magnet-shroom or use Spikeweeds and Spikerock to hurt the zombie and bypass the trash can. You can also use Winter Melons to freeze the zombie that holds it. Melon-pults also bypass the trash can.
