The GTA 5 Nuclear Waste side mission will earn you the Waste Management trophy or achievement once it’s completed. Finding all 30 GTA 5 Nuclear Waste barrels isn’t the most exiting activity but at least you’ll earn some big money once it’s done, as well as the award. You’ll need to be a fair way into the story to reach this objective in GTA 5, but once you’re ready to track down every Nuclear Waste barrel this guide will help you round them all up from ocean floor in no time. 

Buying the Dock

The trophy or achievement description reads: “Purchase the old dock and collect all nuclear waste.” It’s two simple steps that involve a lot of money and a lot of searching. Start by playing the story until The Merryweather Heist. After the mission, the Sonar Collections Dock in Paleto Cove will be put up for sale. Head there and spend the $250,000 asking price to get yourself the “old dock.” We’ve marked the location as a dollar sign on the map.

Collecting the Nuclear Waste

Now the search begins. With the dock in your possession, you have access to a submarine – you can also unlock the Kraken submarine by completing the GTA 5 Wildlife Photography Challenge. Hop into the sub and prepare for a deep-sea search for nuclear waste barrels. For each barrel found, you’ll earn $23,000, so finding all 30 barrels will net you a sweet $690,000.

Here’s the thing about the nuclear waste: it’s found at certain distances from the surface. Considering the ocean floor has few landmarks, using screenshots to help you locate the barrels isn’t very helpful. Instead, use our map in conjunction with the Trackify app on your in-game phone to find each barrel. The Trackify app will ping the next barrel once one is collected, so it won’t be too challenging to scoop them all up.
