Garbage emptying not working
I have a stand for big garbage containers and they are mostly full. My technical service has plenty of garbage vehicles. But only from time to time it sends a single truck to the full garbage stand.
What I expect is, that the technical service send as many trucks as necessary.
Instead, the trucks are standing in the technical service buildind, doing almast nothing.

Whats going wrong?

it sends out trucks for a full load to save you some fuel...no point in sending a truck to the big containers for half a ton.
from what i see they are send out around 75-80% full, not sure if it has to do with how long it takes the truck to get there.
i sometimes use the small modded trucks that take 3.3t from the big containers so one container is enough as it gets emptyed at around 50%.

It's not the case here.
About 60t of waste are at the garbage container stand.

the destination full? trucks out of fuel? the stand in range of the office?
how many percentage of the stand is full with that type? of you use the large stand 60t are way less then those 80%
yeah i get you not sure why its not being collected just trying to find the logic in the system

The destination has plenty of space.
I have fuel station everywhere.
The raods to the stand is marked in yellow, when I test the range of the office. And sometime, a trucks comes emptying.
I have configured some containers for special waste. So not the whole capacity is for mixed waste. Mixed waste is allmost full, sometimes completely full.

Waste is a PITA for sure, it takes a lot of patience but once you figure it out it will magically start working the way you expect it too.

You can have a TS office right next to a waste stand and they will not pick it up if everything is not perfect.

Go through each piece of the puzzle and find the culprit. I often find dump is full in the early game, so get your waste management setup up a soon as possible. Just burn in all and lay out the ash to dissipate to start.

The dump is near by and allmost empty.

Maybe a stupid question, but do you have the right truck for the job? Large containers will be only emptied with large container carrier.

Also correct designation place for each type of waste to go and where to go is necessary.

The trucks are the correct ones.
The garbage stand is for an iron ore processing plant. Now it happened that the plant stopped working, because the iron storage was full. Then, the technical service was able to empty the garbage stand.
If the technical service would use all trucks it has available, it could empty the garbage stands even if the iron ore processing plant was working at full capacity...

Which types of stands do you use? There are two - ones with white symbol in their icon that are picked up only by TS, and then the "warehouse type" with factory connections (and no white symbol in the icon) and they can be picked up only by DO. TS will still empty the building if it fills.

For more information please refer to my waste guide as I am pretty sure I said it there (alongside other things)

The have the white symbol and no factory connections.

I guess that I have same, or similar, problem since it is related to iron ore processing plant (and maybe to iron mine too) where containers gets full really fast with other waste - in one hand it can be bruteforced with around 20 (no joke) waste trucks, but in another it generates traffic and overloads biggest dump with claw (it takes 3 trains to keep going nonstop with over 140t of waste to a recycling setup around 6000m away). Meanwhile generation of construction, biological and scrap waste seems normal, when compared to other waste from iron mine/processing plant. It makes me feel like it is a must to have a recycling/burning facility literally next to it.

In my case, I have lazy trucks sitting in the technical service, doing not much. Why does it not send, these trucks, when needed?

there is probably a problem, usually an overfilled destination. Notice that some things will not be emptied by technical services and you will need either a line or a DO. Also check if you have the correct size of trucks for the correct kind of things. But usually, it is a dump thing or something else silly. Until you troubleshoot, put lines manually i suppose. And if you are sending them to a building instead of a dump, check its outlet to see if it is clogged with trash.

I was about to search for something like, I was thinking of building a garbage dumb structure and in preparation to trash separation, with several separate dump types. and using a train to transfer it somewhere else.
My question is, how does the garbage transfer works, do I always need the dump with railtracks or does factory connection work from a dump to a regular train station?

Regular stations cannot load garbage on trains, only specialised dumps.

On the other hand, you SHOULD NOT need to LOAD trash in trains there at all. In my city of 8-9k (oscilating due to some mod crashes thus were losing people) is ONE garbage truck lazily hauling ashes from clawdump behind incinerator time to time when they fill a bit larger. I have no idea what is the overall capacity of this setup, but would guess around 40-50k easily. Maybe even more. The biggest bottleneck will probably be a separation facility (lowest throughput), but there is not a huge problem of hooking two to the system when it gets crowded (or, in fact, building another separation ... separately and trucking results around to their respective destinations.
