What Are Empty Cans Used for in Last Stop?
Empty Cans have two documented uses worth checking before you discard them: Noodle’s Junk King objective and the Generator Card recipe. Put aside the cans for your chosen task before allocating the rest to crafting or a sale list.

Noodle and Junk King
The official Junk King objective requires Noodle's payment to be made using empty cans alone. It does not publish a fixed can count. Do not substitute a number copied from another run or assume that paying part of the bill in another currency meets that condition.
Check the current request and keep that reserve separate from your crafting materials. Mark the badge only after Roblox awards it, not when a planning tool says you have enough supplies.
Official Roblox badge catalogue: Junk King, ID 4219535689932321Generator Card recipe
For one Generator Card: 2 Empty Can, 1 Duct Tape, 5 Scrap. For two cards: 4 Empty Can, 2 Duct Tape, 10 Scrap, before using your eligible inventory.
Use the material planner to keep task reserves outside the craft. Having the ingredients does not establish that your account has unlocked the recipe.

Do not reserve the same can twice
Put cans intended for Noodle in Protected. The planner can then allocate only the remaining copies to Generator Cards. A can assigned to the recipe is not still available for the NPC payment.
There is no fixed “keep this many” recommendation here because the official objective does not provide one. Reserve what your current task requires.

Does an unallocated item have no use?
No. Unallocated means it was not used by the selected plan. It does not establish a zero sell value or prove that you should discard it. This page does not publish a verified cash price, guaranteed spawn point or complete list of every possible use.
