Could it be a modded one?
Maybe it is possible to change the parameters in the building ini.
This is the Vanilla Plant for transforming Raw Coal into Coal. I understand that I can add multiple trucks to one direct line, but the issue remains, so much waste...

I'm guessing the bottleneck is in the transport from large dump with large garbage bins to your waste processing.
I have two coal processing plants at my coal mining site, all waste feeding into a local large dump with claw and rail (direct connection to the mine, for the processing plants a stand with large garbage containers and local service office with a few garbage trucks bringing waste to the large dump with rail).
Then a waste train line (about 300 tons capacity) taking the waste to my waste processing site.
From that area a big DO is employed (and currently building a 2nd one and 2nd TS due to soon-to-be opened steel mill) that trucks construction waste to separation plant + incinerator setup ca 3km away. To help them a bit I employed 1 extra truck in direct line for each of the large stands that trucks construction waste directly to gravel recycling plant so it eases the load from TS/DO.
Train pickup and transfer is also a good option, but definitely pre-sort the waste at the place of emerging, helps a ton :)
Noting that you could have, biological. construction and general waste to transport, and trains do not seem to like carrying a single load with mixed waste types spread over several wagons, is this practical to do..?
Assuming that different dump types with a factory connection to a train cargo station can do this..?
If so, then allocated trains could take accumulated specific waste types to where they could be processed elsewhere.
All that really matters is that it works for you, but it looks like pre-sorting does not help much with the fact that you have transport a large amount of stuff over large distance, requiring many trucks instead of one or two trains.
(a single large waste train wagon has the capacity of more than 5 waste trucks, a single train with 10 wagons transports as much as ~56 trucks)
I suppose separating biological waste at the mining site makes sense because biological waste comes in relatively small amounts so it does not need a large number of trucks to transport it over large distance.
HOWEVER, I have gravel recycling plant on the same side of the city, so ca 2km driving distance and no rails there. Separation of biowaste afterwards is also nonexistent ingame. So what I tend to do is to minimize overall mixed waste.
If that would be even further and with no easy connections and I would be having mines+ 2 CPPs + steel mill + power plant etc., I would definitely go for half-recycling on site - i probably wouldn´t do a biowaste separation unless a farm close enough (range of ca 2 km depending on road type), but would still employ a gravel recycling thingy. Just plop a
- small dump for construction waste
- gravel recycler
- ca 1000t aggregate storage
- train loading station (or connect it to coal loading you have, anyway)
and use train DO to pickup waste for separation elsewhere on the map (collectable via huge dump) and set RDO to pickup gravel from the recycling plant whenever it is 80% full.
The main point is it hugely diminishes overall waste production. Having everything mixed up helps for higher train frequency, but can overload separation facilities pretty fast (and they chew through workforce A LOT).
BTW bare minimum for construction waste is simply an aggregate storage + train loader. You just need to carry that thing elsewhere with different train, but it saves you a lot of manpower in exchange for some electricity/fuel (depending on type of trains you are running)
In my current republic I'm building a coal mining and an iron mining area, both connected to a steel factory. Coal area is largely built, iron and steel are still WIP, so whatever coal is left over from power and brick production is going for export.
About the waste, you effectively need to dispose of both construction waste and burnable waste, and you don't want to move it by truck more than necesssary. Both mines have a large garbage container stand next to them. Being large is essential because that means they both have two parking spaces for loading/unloading. You actually can make transport lines that take directly from container stands (rather than use technical a office), I discovered this myself recently. Thus, both garbage stands are served by two lines each of one garbage truck each, one collecting construction waste and the other mixed (burnable) waste. The construction waste goes to an adjacent conveyor truck unloading station that takes it away to a gravel recycling plant, the other waste goes to an adjacent large dump with a claw and a railway connection. The dump by the coal mine has an incinerator power plant connected to it, and has a railroad going straight to the dump by the iron mine. Note that it specifically needs to be the large dump with the claw and the built-in railroad connection, otherwise train loading will be dead slow.
I don't yet have industries for cement, concrete and prefab panels, so the gravel recycling plant will feed those with gravel. The main point is really to have a useful sink for all the gravel rather than have to lug it away.
Damn, I love the garbage update. So much more logistical challenges, but also so much more possible synergies and gains from good management.
Yes, I love that, too. It is fun. I am currently testing the "Husák challenge" and waste management is just a gift and a curse at the same time for it, giving me both benefits and curses at the same time :)
I do, however, truck that thing away. There is no way I could bring rails to that area in a nice way so that was a big no for me. But it is doable with trucks only or with combination of TS and direct lines (my case - every mine has small stand for 8x6,5t container and I assigned 1 truck to each of them to pickup construction waste and go with it directly to recycling plant; rest goes via TS to the bottom of the hill where waste yard lays down and from there a DO carries biowaste/mixed waste to their final destinations.
