Garbage Issue solution?

[Diash (Phil)]

Anyone got a solution with the garbage issue yet, even thought they have said they have fixed it at least twice i'm still getting issue where garbage is not getting collected mainly on High Dense Residential, got lots of recycle plants incinerators dumps and so on. but just seems that they just don't send out there trucks when needed, have also tried making and setting 10 dumps/recycle to do a small district and still no fix.

had this on 3 maps now all with around 150,000 - 250,000 cims

got fixed a few patches back.. not had issues on my big city so far..

Actually had to delete most of my incinerators as they had nothing to do.

Three recycle plants seem to over my 160k city..

Same for me. ~200k population
High Density starts to moan "Garbage pileup"
2 Incinerator Plants with 75 Trucks each
Both set to Districts.
one sends all trucks out
the other one, where the problem is with high density sends max 30 trucks
Same with Postoffice. 40 Postvans available, only 17 on the road an still ~17k mail to deliver

At least i'm not the only one.

You are probably the 4th or 5th person I've seen with this issue. And I also have this issue, check this out.

What I find about this problem:
1. We all have loads of high density zoning
2. Garbage facilities have plentiful capacity and vehicles. They never get sent out.
3. idk if you have some traffic jams, mine does.
4. It looks to me that garbage trucks are just "patrolling", and after it collects enough garbage it will return to the facility. The question is, the algorithem doesn't send enough trucks, especially combined with factos like high density residence or poor traffic thing gets worse.
5. As one may expect, they ofc should send additional trucks to deal with garbage piling up, so I classified it as a bug, not skill issue.

Email is completely another issue.
Do you have any cargo terminal/harbor/airport? If you do, check if they have "local mail" in their storage. Currently these cargo terminals have very few truck, 16 for trains, 8 for airport and 24 for harbor. They can never deliver all the goods and the mails are just stuck their forever.
Demolish all the cargo terminals and mail service will become reliable very quick.

I just loaded up one of my old pre-patch cities to check only 130k pop but I had like 6 incinerators to keep up with it when it was broken.. but it had all started to pile up in the city anyway..

So loaded it up put it on full speed and the garbage soon got cleared up and my incinerators had very little to burn..

So yeah not sure why some people seem to be having issues.

This is awkward…
I’ve never have the garbage issue BEFORE the patch…
And I guess it has to do with city structures. Do you have large high density residential zones? I’ve 100k pop and mostly they are in high densities, with very little in mix(yeah, I don’t have any other residential type) So it might be a reason

no issues with patch 14f1

My one pre garbage patch city was mostly high and medium residential with some old low areas I had but not much as there was little demand for it.
