Infinite accumulated garbage

[Zanguet]

Anyone with the same garbage problem? I created everything I could. Every time I increase the trash limit. The landfill fills up quickly. And the city is still full of trash. I don't know what to do... I think it's a bug. My city reached 100,000 inhabitants, I know it's an absurd number, and there will be a lot of trash. However, wow, with various ways of recycling and storing, there is no point, rubbish continues to accumulate in homes and recycling is of no use. I did several things, anyway, to see if I could find the key problem, but nothing helped.

It has more to do with traffic than trash capacity. In fact, if you don't build any trash facilities, you'll simply export trash for zero cost. Just gotta make sure those intercity garbage trucks can get to your buildings.

[IamGmack]

Yup same here. Hopefully devs fix the bugs

[Mario]

Yeah this is a big problem, I'm processing 600t, generating 300t and my landfills are just filling up.

Is your garbage processing status positive or negative? And if positive how much positive? ♥♥♥♥ takes time.

If your landfill nearly full. delete it and rebuild it again. (Garbage magically disappear)

[FAIR]

Burn it.

yeah bad bug, need to fix it and my city goes even without garbage dump

I don't think it vanishes it might just get exported.

Anyway fixing garbage is feasible, On my end I went from 7% landfill availability to 36% just now.

I just had to get processing under control, ALSO PROCESSING IS POTENTIAL. Just cause you're positive in processing doesn't mean it's actually working.

I had incinerators that could process about 600 tons when I was producing about 250 tons. They were at storage capacity, so garbage trucks would stop going out, and when they did storage capacity was reached again. I increased budget, increased processing speed, and increased storage and they'd almost immediately hit storage capacity again. Efficiency was over 100% the whole time. Added recycling as well to no avail. Garbage was building up in the city, and it was a significant monthly cost. Didn't try landfills yet but it might be similar.

Resolved by setting districts then assigning a single incinerator to each district, and enacting recycling in those districts, then demolishing the old incinerators with upgraded storage to decrease the cost. It now seems to be sustainable with no upgrades to storage and fewer incinerators.

Did you know that you can setup a district around areas with garbage build up and assign the land fill or recycling centre or incinerator to serve that area build extra trash processing as needed I have no trash issues using this method

[Hortnon]

Districts don't help. Policies don't help. I believe there's a bug where the processing plants get too much garbage versus their storage size. For example, I'm looking at one right now that has 217/150t storage. I think the game breaks in this state and the incinerator stops processing. i've got 588 possible processing and 406 demand and left it running for hours without doing anything and no change in overflowing buildings

It’s because you’re most likely generating industrial waste which requires a specific facility to process. If you don’t have it then it will sit there taking up space until you build the facility to process it.

Exported gratis? Not so realistic...

I got 130k city without garbage issue. Go figure. Maybe I'm doing something right and as designed and people who don't understand the mechanics are having issues.

Tip of the day is to always set operating districts to your services.

This whole thing is literally a known issue douchebag, even the devs have admitted to it. so no youre not doing anything particularly right, youre just lucky.
