Get some garbage incinerators to burn the stuff for good. Landfills just act as a long-term storage.

Other than that, check your road network for any problem areas where your garbage trucks might get stuck in traffic, or where one-way roads might block easy access to some areas.
Increasing your garbage disposal budget might also help you out.

It's a little hard to tell from your single screen shot, but it looks like your trucks are having trouble getting around the city. I would suggest spreading the landfills a little so they can service different areas of your city. You should need anymore than two or three functioning landfills for a population of 6000.

He only has 6,000 people in his city. It is probably too early for incinerators.

I think two functional landfills should be adequate for your city size. Your garbage trucks should be going out and collecting rubbish now. You can click on a landfill to check how many trucks are active if you like. Usually it won't use all of them.

The problem is most likely that your city streets have been filling up with rubbish for weeks prior to the new landfills. So there is a backlog for the trucks to work through, which will take a while. So it may be just a matter of waiting for the problem to go away.

What the other guys said; especially this quote.

Looking at the screenshot, I see a red alert icon in the background showing a place where garbage is piling up badly. Try placing a landfill or incinerator relatively close to that and wait a bit to see if it helps. Of course, not so close that the pollution will reach residential areas.

Yea yea garbage trucks were too far away to work that fast, that's why it got piled up.. I put a garbage pile closer to the bigger village area and it worked.

thank you guys :D ^^

PS my eagle eye noticed that your water pump is very close to your drainage pipes. Unless you move them further apart the pollution from the drain will eventually pollute your drinking water. This happens when the water around the pumps stops flowing, which doesn't happen immediately. It is a big problem when it happens as your people start dying, so I thought I should warn you :)

Omg! I've been talking to a noob! What about my rep? ;-P

Seriously, no worries. I'm still a bit of a noob here myself, and we can all need a bit of help sometimes. Just glad you worked it out. :)
