How do you transport large amounts of waste?
I've been relying on big garbage trucks for transporting mixed waste from my smaller towns to the bigger ones for sorting at a waste facility, but the amount of trucks I need to handle all the waste created by my mines and steel mill is creating bottlenecks. I was hoping there would be a way to transport larger amounts of waste in dumpers or flatbeds, but I'm not aware of it. I could make a new garbage processing facility with a rail input, but trains seem to take ages to load waste.

How do you do it in your republics?

Mines and steel mill mostly makes specific waste types so make a local waste facility.

Or use cable lane, if there is no place for waste industry near mine.

I connected a coal mine, a steel mill and a waste powerplant through a single landfill (rails for future use to bring and burn even more garbage here), so I don't need to move most of the waste at all.
The waste stand (behind the monument) receives sorted scrap metal (from steel mills), construction waste (from the mine) and bio-waste (from workers) in quantities that trucks can handle. Thus, after burning, only ash remains. The still unfinished dumps for scattering ash are visible in the right corner.

Mines produce a lot of construction waste. But. Not far from the mines, a loading station for bulk cargo is usually needed. Add nother storage facility for bulk cargo with a conveyor to the loading station. Specify to unload construction waste into this storage facility (technical services can do this). Then consider the construction waste as ore instead of garbage and transport it by hoppers trains for recycling.

Presort the "other waste" from your mines and ore processors and burn it on the spot. Then process the construction waste into gravel and either truck it out or use a cableway.
