How do I get my incinerator waste to be transported?
My transport office transports mixed waste to the incinerator. And then it gets burned into more mixed waste and stays there in the export section.

How do I get this ash mixed waste transported to e.g. the free dump, but not the "normal" mixed waste?
And does the ash go away with time ot will I fill my republic with waste after a few hundred years?

I also tested your setup before i looked into the forum and it seems that you can work with just a garbage burner but you need to transport the export waste into the complex i discribed above. The ash runs through and the other waste gets seperated.

I think the sequence is first mixed waste to the general separation building ( sorts the metals and plastics out ) and from there a truck or transport connection with mixed waste to the incinerator.

This causes the mixed waste you take to the incinerator is completely burnable and the only thing that comes out is ash.

If you leave the separation of metals out ( deliver all mixed waste directly to the incinerator ) the incinerator refuses to burn all of it, and you will get ashes and metal waste. Since you can't get rid of it but separating it, it will pile up until it clogs up your incinerator and it stops functioning.

It's bit annoying that pure ash is still considered mixed waste and isn't separate waste group.

Remember that technical office doesn't take waste from dumps (both with clamps and without) or transfers for big waste containers, it can only deliver waste to them.

Personally I connect dump to incinerator and incinerator is connected to general separation. Ash slowly disappears by itself from dump but sadly single dump is to slow to get rid it. I use 2 distribution offices, first brings mixed waste from transfers for big containers to general separation, second removes excess of ash to either more dumps or border. Using only one distribution office could result in waste trucks feeding ash back to general separation and that results in pointless loop.

You can build a set of small dumps for ash and disperse ash among them to multiply the rate ash disappears. Exporting it is another option, and you can reduce the amount generated by separating out biological waste, fertilizer, and plastic.
