Refuse is the main collectible in Pikmin Evolution, as they act as the main source of Sparklium, which is essential to have. Refuse is comparable to treasures in that it is based on real-world objects, and fruits in that there are multiple instances of the same refuse. However, what truly separates refuse from both is that, after refuse is collected, another instance of it or an entirely different piece of refuse can appear in its previous place or close to it.
Certain refuse has a chance to be "pristine", noted for its brilliant shine. Pristine refuse yields fifty percent more Sparklium than its ordinary counterpart, making them even more crucial to collect. Other refuse has a chance to be "contaminated", indicated by it being covered in a hazardous substance, meaning only a certain Pikmin type can carry it. Refuse covered in hot coals can only be carried by Elixer Pikmin, refuse coated in toxic sludge can only be carried by Germ Pikmin, refuse shrouded in black smoke can only be carried by Roach Pikmin, and refuse encased in ice can only be carried by Alloy Pikmin.
Each piece of refuse is categorized under a different family, or collection, unified by a single common trait shared between each piece of refuse. Finding all refuse in a family improves the odds of finding pristine instances of refuse in that particular family. If the name of a particular piece of refuse is bolded, it means that the refuse is comprised of several small pieces that must be collected individually to form the whole piece again.
Each refuse has three journal entries written by Magdelene, Azure, and Sal, similar to the Piklopedia. Each writes about different topics relating to the specific refuse in question. Magdelene discusses her personal thoughts and experiences she relates to the refuse in question, Azure discusses theories on how a piece of refuse was used by the precursors of this world, and Sal discusses sales pitches about each piece of refuse in an attempt to sell it. The former two's entries are available in the base game, but Sal's entries only become available upon purchasing and playing the House of Gloom DLC.
