While you're Shoveling Trash during S.C.R.A.P. jobs in Undermine (requires Renown 2 with The Cartels of Undermine), you keep looting Empty Kaja'Cola Can. You can exchange 333 of them (or later at Renown 14 one Vintage Kaja'Cola Can) for one Sifted Pile of Scrap container at S.C.R.A.P. Exchange vendor Angelo Rustbin in Undermine./way #2346 25.74 38.13 Angelo Rustbin (SCRAP Exchange)You probably want to avoid opening bigger numbers of these containers with your Valorstones (nearly) capped.
I opened around 1000 Sifted Pile of Scrap before they massively decreased the currency farm with an overhaul of S.C.R.A.P. jobs.

They usually contain this:
- approx. 11 Valorstones + approx. 56 Gold

With a chance to include one of these as a bonus:
- Viridian Mechasaur + 15x Carved Undermine Crest
- approx. 26 Resonance Crystals
- Ringing Deeps Ingot
- Vial of Kaheti Oils
- Gloomfathom Hide
- Profaned Tinderbox
- Viridian Charmcap
- (early during testing I got Personalized Goblin S.C.R.A.P.per + 15x Carved Undermine Crest but the mount journal lists that for the Gunk-Covered Thingy which ends up in S.C.R.A.P. Scrubber Deluxe at the same vendor, so it will probably no longer appear in Sifted Pile of Scrap when the patch goes live)

You have to unlock the "Scrappy S.C.R.A.P.per I" perk by reaching Renown 2 with The Cartels of Undermine to participate in S.C.R.A.P. jobs.
There are seven locations with S.C.R.A.P. heaps in the zone, and Carlo Greasegrind always picks one to be active for players (marked with a trash bin icon on your zone map and mini-map).
When someone starts the event by talking to Carlo, players have 2 minutes to interact with the S.C.R.A.P. heap to start Shoveling Trash for up to 60 seconds repeatedly, which fills a "Trash Shoveled" bar for the event and your currency tab with Empty Kaja'Cola Can (and rarely Vintage Cans when unlocked).
Players can activate a nearby S.C.R.A.P. Bot for an ongoing job by talking to the Bot and paying a cumulative 100G. It will then start to passively shovel and help a lot with the event's progress bar when there are not many players around (and you remove all things that will interrupt it).
During testing this activity was undergoing many changes (probably to nerf the currency acquisition and prevent Idling) and recently, these were the small events we experienced during jobs:
1. Blue Circles (Good): Stand in them to catch Kaja'Cola cans that will slightly increase your contributed trash for the event's progress for 1 minute (so no need to go for them more than twice).
2. Satchels in green puddles (Worst): Will interrupt the Bot and players until removed! Players need to interact, and they better make sure not to run away (to the heap or next bag) before the channeled Searching Trash Bag cast is finished or they have to repeat and lose more time.
3. Green Circles (Bad): Pineapple drinks land on player locations and will knock them back, interrupting the shoveling. So step aside and continue shoveling.
4. Flame Patches (Bad): Will interrupt the Bot and players, so run over them to extinguish the flames.
5. Discarded Bombs (Bad): Will interrupt the Bot and players while fixating them to explode. Remove them fast with a Swift Kick.
6. Enemies (Bad): If they aggro you and interrupt your shoveling, kill them. (pet classes can send their companions and continue shoveling)
If players manage to get to 100% on the progress bar, the Gallagio Garbage Rare is supposed to spawn. (the Rare spawn is probably back to full RNG or they forgot to adjust the spawn condition down to 500 trash with the latest event changes)
When the event timer ends, participating players can loot a progress-based reward container ( 0-150 Trash = Half-Empty Bag, 151-350 Trash = Dented Crate, 351-500 Trash = Uncovered Strongbox; these will remain at their place if you forget to loot them immediately). Shortly after, another location will be chosen and shown on your map.
When players gain Renown with The Cartels of Undermine, there are passive Renown perks (e.g. unlocks for buff items from a Kaja'Cola Dispenser near the active S.C.R.A.P. heap), but they only speed up filling the event's progress bar and don't increase the amount of Kaja'Cola cans looted. Especially the buff items from the vendor are now almost pointless with the increased frequency of interrupting events and it was never the "twice as much trash" mentioned in their tooltips (maybe +25%). On top of that, the recently added blue circles provide a similar buff for free, for a full minute, and without the Renown.

Would be lovely if we could turn our excess cans in for market research

After already getting the mount, pet and toy, I spent the remaining kaja cans into buying more Sifted Pile of Scrap

Out of 36 boxes, I got

900g
2000 or so resonant crystals
3 more Viridian Mechasaur
and an assortment of crafting materials like Vial of Kaheti Oils and Ringing Deeps Ingot
3 boxes had 15 x Weathered Ethereal Crest

Note that these are transferable - so one of your toons can to shopping for your account.

Empty Kaja'Cola Can

An empty can of Kaja'Cola. These are commonly found in S.C.R.A.P Heaps. Angelo Rustbin at S.C.R.A.P Headquarters would be interested in this.
