Small amount of residual garbage

[defacto123 14]

In one of my cities, I currently have 28 units of garbage, and have had that for several years now. I've tried everything to get rid of it - building more incinerators, recycling centers, landfill, exporting it, etc. I've even tried demolishing all of my incinerators, letting the garbage go up into the thousands, and then rebuilding them - it comes down to 28 again. Is there any way to fix this?

I believe this might help: 

 

Just pop it in your plugins folder and you're good to go.

I know it is a bit of a cheat, but for some cities that I build with a specific theme and where I don't want to build landfills,  I use the Black Hole Waste Management cheat (on STEX). It could help you get rid of those 28 units and then, just demolish it if want to continue playing with the landfill, incinerators, etc.

 

This cheat is an actual building you plop in your city (preferably next to your industry or power plant) and it cost 1,000/month.

 

Good luck with your issue and hope you are able to resolve it!

Do not demolish any garbage "cheat" lot.  These lots seem to hold the garbage in suspension so that if you demolish the building you get all of it back.
