Our purpose is to classify acyclic 4-manifolds having shadow complexity zero. In this paper, we focus on simple polyhedra and discuss this problem combinatorially. We consider a shadowed polyhedron $X$ and a simple polyhedron $X_0$ that is obtained by collapsing from $X$. Then we prove that there exists a canonical way to equip internal regions of $X_0$ with gleams so that two 4-manifolds reconstructed from $X_0$ and $X$ are diffeomorphic. We also show that any acyclic simple polyhedron whose singular set is a union of circles can collapse onto a disk. As a consequence of these results, we prove that any acyclic 4-manifold having shadow complexity zero with boundary is diffeomorphic to a 4-ball.
