Recycling Garbage Junk

[musicguy2341 0]

Hello All,

 

I'm looking for some assistance with this issue. I've been noticing a strange issue with recycling in my processor city, but I'm not sure if it's an issue that has happened to any of you fellow players.

 

I need to import crap tons of alloy and plastic for my factories and such, but I figured to cut down the costs, I could produce plastic and alloy from the recycling center.

 

So long story short, I have noticed that recycling collection stops precisely at 4:00pm everyday, having collected only 8k/40k recycle bins. I have 2 recycle centers with the max amount of collection trucks, and as I watch them, they don't form a brigade and travel around as a pack. They collect the way they're supposed to, just not nearly enough to produce the materials I need. 

 

I thought the patch would've helped but maybe it created more problems..any advice? Thoughts?

You will never produce the quantities necessary for large scale production just from recycling. It doesn't work like that. It will cut down your import by 10-20% but that is as much as you can hope for.

Some of the service buildings like the Garbage Dump, Recycling Center, and the Education service buildings are only active, or open at certain times of the day.  I think there are other buildings like that also, but not sure right off hand.  Also to ease some worry this may have brought, all of the Emergency services are always running, however questionably that is.  Take care.

Recycling is a 7-4 job... versus processor factory runs 24 hours. Even with 2 recycling enters and just 1 maxed out processor factory, you will never have enough to keep it fed. Its better off as just a bit of extra cash, but do not rely on the income.
