Garbage Disposal Center  1.0

About This File

I personally hate landfills and how long they take to decompose, and I didn't find much of anything incredibly realistic for garbage disposal on the STEX already, so I made this lot. It's based off a recycling center but it has over double the capacity and is meant to be more of a replacement for a landfill if you put a whole bunch of them around your city.

 

Basically, it's a tiny landfill that A) you can demolish, and B) doesn't look quite as ugly (though it still has quite the NIMBY effect and still is supposed to have that "30s industrial building" look to it.


Some basic stats:

Population served: 50,000 (for those big cities you may need more than a few)

Garbage reduced by 45% (not entirely realistic but is needed to serve as a replacement landfill)

Power consumption: 10

Water consumption: 2

 

Pollutes the air and water around it a little bit, in a 5 meter radius around the building (nothing radioactive though...)

Cleans up a heck of a lot of garbage around it, in a 100 meter radius around the building

 

Plop cost: §8700

Demolish cost: §900

Monthly cost: §260

Lot size: 3x4

 

No dependencies that I know of. I tried to use only Maxis props so those of you with slow connections wouldn't be tortured by some more downloads...


I'm on Simtropolis maybe every other day or so, so if you need any more information or help with this or anything else of mine, feel free to PM me, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

 

Enjoy! :)

I suppose it only uses Maxis props. Nicely done and a useful lot. I just made one for bigger Cities also and was supposed to download it on Monday, but now I'LL wait until yours had its share of appreciation. Good job.

Wow, we'll get two new garbage lots in a few days. I hate SC4's landfill lots. This is much nicer! An idea for an industry: I pass by a place that cleans garbage trucks all day. Might make a useful lot.

How come there is no fences around ? to be a real , trucks must downloads their garbage inside the building , then whit the help of a conveyer then workers can splits paper glass ...... but anyway that's a good start

A great idea and execution with a good description of the stats. Not sure I will use it as I have an "improved" waste-to-energy plant (of course that can be run for free with the bug....maybe I should alter the up-front cost of that one up quite a bit now that I think about it!).

actually, now that i think about it, the green garbage truck might be from Pegasus' Refuse Re-something pack, but if you don't have that I guess it would end up okay...

Yeah that truck is from peg's Refuse Relocation Kit so it should be a dependency

I think that truck is a re-skin and not having it just means you have the default Maxis truck instead, but I'm not entirely sure...nice lot BTW 10/10 ;)
