Garbage Problems

[daniel06 0]

OK heres the situation. I have a small 6 city region with a population of about 150,000. 5 of those 6 cities are mainly residential with one city, the biggest, being the main "city center". the  residential cities are doing great, clean, good health and education and all that...but the main city is full of garbage...like when im looking at the data the entire city is red (meaing excessive garbage) i am constantly getting headlines on my news ticker about how bad the garbage problem is. Currently 3 other cities are taking garbage from the city center, and the city already has 3 recycling centers and 2 waste to energy plants yet it seems to do absolutley nothing. as a result 95% of the city has an extremely low land value. I dont have enough money to put in any more recycling centers or plants or make any new deals with anymore cities. what should i do?

Have you considered a landfill?

Also, simgoober made a cleaner waste to energy plant. I'm not totally sure but I think it also deals with more trash.

1 giant landfill city that takes everyone's garbage is not a bad idea, then to make up for the loss of income, have the major city export power and water.

i've also found that certain downloaded lots produce massive amounts of garbage. i had a bit of a garbage problem in one of my cities (pop 150 000), when i checked the data map the garbage was concentrated around a couple of lots, when i destroyed them the garbage situation returned to normal. i think they're typically industrial lots, but i might be mistaken.
