How to unlock and use the Recycling Plant in Hello Kitty Island Adventure

Friendship Island is filled with useful locations in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, allowing players to interact with the world around them and pos꧙sibly get items or assistance to progress. The Recycling Plant is one such location, and it can offer various great rewards. 

The Recycling♓ Plant can be found in Rainbow Reef, southeast of the Cozy Islands Mailbox and just off the shore of Cozy Island itself. It’s a giant flower with large, flowing petals, and it serves a very unique purpose. 

How to unlock the Recycling Plant in Hello Kitty Island Adventure

The Recycling Plಞant is always there, and you can interact with it prior to unlocking it, although you’ll♎ just be told that Keroppi probably knows more about it. To actually use the Plant, you’ll need to reach level 11 friendship with Hello Kitty, and then begin the “Reef Revival” quest. 

You will also need to complete Keroppi’s level 1 quest (Finding Flippers) to unlock Flippers, and Kuromi’s level 6 quest “Deep Diving” to unlock the Snorkel.

During “Reef Revival”, yo🌟u’ll be instructed to place Trash into the Recycling Plant (shown above on the map). If you’ve been gathering bags of Trash since you began playing, it can be very tempting to put all of your Trash in at this point in the hopes of getting more rewards. I beg of you, please don’t do this!

Regardless of how many bags you put into the Recycling Plant during this tutorial, the game will only register the first 10. Any further Trash will be removed permanently from your inventory and lost forever, with no additional reward for your efforts. 

Once you’ve completed the tutoria༒l, you💟’ll have free access to the Recycling Plant and you can put the rest of your Trash into it, getting the rewards you’ve earned for picking it all up.

You can use the Recycling Plant to turn unwanted items into different, more useful items. There are two types of items you can 🌠produce at the Recycling Plant. 

Turning Trash into treasure

Trash Bags spawn daily around Rainbow Reef, particularly in the area around the Comedy Club. Unlike other resource spawns in Island Adventure, Trash will continuously respawn every 2-3 minutes, allowing y💯ou to gather up a huge amount of it very qꦦuickly. 

Trash Bags can be placed in the Recycling Plant, and you’ll have a chance to get either Coral Keys or Coral Spores. Coral Keys can then be used to open seashell-decorated chests, while Coral Spores can be planted on the rock beds around Rainbow Reef. 

Turning items into Dye Pouches

Thꦇe other use for the Recycling Plant is to stock up on Dye Pouches of every color. You’ll receive a different color Dye Pouch depending on what you put into the Recycling Plant. Some 🐟items can even result in different Dye colors, so there is an element of chance involved.
