If it is a container card:
(of any color and with any number)
1st player bets any number of same color garbage cards from it's hand, in order to gain that container card. To bet, simply take the cards out from your hand and place them faced up in the table, in front of you. Other players, clockwise, decide if they want to bet.
A player can only bet if it raises by at least 1 the highest bet on the table. Betting can continue for any number of rounds around the table until all players pass.
The player who bet the highest number of garbage cards wins that bet. It means he managed to recycle his garbage cards. These are placed faced up next to the deck GARBA- GE cards. The player keeps the container card next to him.
The garbage cards bet by other players (who lost the bet) are placed faced up in front of each player. This means these players were unable to recycle those garbage cards, which cannot come back to play. At the end of the game, all non-recycled cards will worth -1 point each.
It is not mandatory for a player to bet. One can pass in a 1st round and come back to bet- ting in a 2nd if there is a 2nd round. There is no limit to the cards a player can bet.
If no player bets on a given container card, this card will remain in the drawn containers cards pile, facing up. It won't be used again.
A new container card is drawn.

If it is a stop card:
Each player receives immediately 5 new garbage cards and the 1st player to bet will be the one on the left to the last starting player. This happens always, no matter the stop card is the 1st or the last card to be drawn, or that 2 or more stop cards are drawn in a row.
Players will just accumulate the garbage cards. There is no limit to the number of garbage cards a player can hold.
If a player spends all his garbage cards, he will have to wait for a stop card to come out in order to receive new garbage cards and then come back to betting.
If ALL players spend all their garbage cards, hand out immediately 5 new garbage cards to everyone. 1st player changes.
