Animal Crossing: New Horizons player discovers Nook Phone hack to store DIYs

Sometimes, they’re just not worth selling for 200 bells.

An Animal Crossing: New Horizons player has discovered a clever way to store the DIY recipes they don’t want anymore.

According to a post in the game’s Subreddit, Animal Crossing: New Horizons DIY recipes can be stored in the Recycle Box that’s located in Resident Services - ready to be taken by secondary players or swapped with visitors. It isn’t as easy as just placing the DIYs into the bin, however, as, just like with home storage, the DIYs can’t be transferred via players’ pockets.

Instead, players can send them to the recycle box by using the ‘request cleanup’ option in the Island Designer app via their Nook Phone. To do this, players need to place any DIYs they want to store on a table somewhere outside and access the app while standing next to it. It’s important to remember though that any trees or shrubbery near players when they request a cleanup will also be wiped out, but won’t end up in the recycling box.
