Synopsis
The citizens of Adventure Bay, including the PAW Patrol are cleaning up the beach after a nasty storm upset various trash and recycling bins. Rocky takes the lead in explaining to the pups how things can be recycled or even upcycled. Meanwhile, in Foggy Bottom, the beach in front of Mayor Humdinger's cave is also a mess. When the Kitten Catastrophe Crew refuse to help clean up, Mayor Humdinger decides to make use of a new vehicle: the Trash-dinger 3000, a truck that uses mechanical arms to gather up trash before compacting it into cubes.
Mayor Humdinger takes his new ride to Adventure Bay to show off, only for a seagull to fly inside in pursuit of Mayor Humdinger's lunch. The birds pecking causes the pilotless vehicle to begin rampaging across Adventure Bay's beach, throwing cubes everywhere and endangering the citizens. Mayor Goodway quickly alerts Ryder and he calls the pups to the Lookout, with Marshall experiencing his usual tumble after his paws get stuck in old cans. Ryder chooses Skye, Marshall, and Rocky to assist with the latest mission looking to find the truck and free the seagull while also dealing with the Trash-dinger's leavings.
Upon arriving in town, Rocky is distressed by the sheer number of compacted cubes, prompting Ryder to lead him back to the Lookout. There, he unveils the Re-Use It Truck, a larger recycling/upcycling truck for Rocky's use. Capable not only of carrying large amounts of material, but also converting it into useful objects, the truck soon proves its worth in cleaning up Adventure Bay. However, Skye calls Ryder to alert him to the fact that the Trash-dinger has made its way to a nearby drawbridge just as its being raised.
With the Trash-dinger stuck atop the raised bridge and continuing to hurl trash cubes, Ryder calls on Skye to lift Marshall to the truck. He is able to open a window and release the seagull. Rocky then arrives with his Re-Use It Truck, and picks up some of the garbage cubes blocking the way to the Trash-dinger to construct new attachments for the Re-Use It Truck to clear a path and save the Trash-dinger before it tumbles into the river. Rocky then converts the trash into new outdoor furniture for Adventure Bay's beach, to the delight of Mayor Goodway. Mayor Humdinger sulkily tries to extoll the virtues of his Trash-dinger, only for one of the kittens to use it to make a new cube out of his beloved top hat.
