How to unlock the Disposing of the Evidence achievement in Grand Theft Auto III – The Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

I attempted to get this multiple times before doing the mission Dead Skunk in the Trunk, and was unable to get it. Even though the junk yard crushing machine takes the vehicle and drops it in, it doesn't seem to register. Didn't even register in the stats on the pause menu.

So unless its bigger you will get this when doing Dead Skunk in trunk which depending on the order you do the missions in will be around mission 12.

This popped when I crushed the car at the end of "The Crook" payphone mission.

Didn’t pop for me after finishing The Crook and then immediately putting a couple more in - stats still say 0 cars crushed.

I had the exact same thing happen as Metal Gear VR a few comments up. I loaded my auto save and the achievement immediately unlocked.

I noticed it only counts as crushed if you wait for the lid to close, crush, and then open. You must stand there for it to count in your stats. Walking away while it's crushing doesn't give credit for it. Only posting this because there's a Social Club challenge for 25 vehicles crushed. So just wait it out on each vehicle crushed.

There is a phone ringing across the street from Joey's garage at the dog food factory. The first or second mission you get from that will involve crushing a car that you get from inside the factory's gate. That's how I got it.

I did Marty's first phone mission (The Crook) as soon as it became available, and that also ends with you putting a car in the crusher. Nothing happened afterwards, checked my stat and it was at 0. Went to put another one in, noticed this time the machine actually closed its lid and made crushing noises, achievement popped. So try with a second car if the first doesn't do the trick.

If this achievement doesn't pop for you for any reason after completing the mission Dead Skunk In The Trunk just load your latest autosave and the achievment should pop.

You will get this from completing Dead skunk in the trunk mission.

You need to collect a car and take it to the scrap yard. It was my 12th mission that I completed so it’s early on.

You can get this very early on. The junkyard is in the far north of Portland (The brown and white smudges on your map)

There’s a little parking area outlined by car tires. Park up there and the junker should take over.

People have reported this doesn’t always trigger the trophy right away. If you have problems, I’d suggest one of two things;

Collect the ‘i’ marker that explains the crusher, then try crushing a vehicle.

Get yourself a one star waned marker, then drive to the crusher to ‘dispose of the evidence’

From time to time a bug occurs when the waste disposal unit is closed; you can get around this bug by driving to the intersection behind the hill near the car dealership, going back and driving close to the waste disposal unit.

You can also get it during the first mission from Marty Chonks (phone booth near Joey's garage)
