One Man's Trash is Act II side quest assigned by Nerasis, the Ember Surveyor in Ossean Wastes.
Offer Text
Hello there! I wonder if you have a moment to help me out? My name is Nerasis; I'm an Ember surveyor for the Empire. I've been working on a theory that used Ember can be recharged, with exposure to a suitably large source of mana. My research led me to Tarroch's Rift, where the mana output ratio is ... well, it's very high.
The problem is that there are quite a few horrible monsters between me and the mana source. I would be willing to pay you to take this burned-out Spent Ember into Tarroch's Rift and attempt to charge it, then bring it back here so I can see if my theory is correct.

I'm certain that mana vents can be used to recharge burned-out Ember, which will greatly ease the Empire's energy burden. But not just any mana vent will do; it has to be one with a direct link to a powerful source of mana. Tarroch's Rift is the most powerful I have found, bar none. I'm actually a little concerned that it will destroy the Spent Ember, instead of recharging it. But we won't know until you get it down there and expose it to the rift.
