My city has 90k residents. There are two recyclings centers and one garbage dump, all having their maximum number of collecting trucks. There are volunteers from nearby cities as well (at least 32).
Still, there is a large garbage problem in the city. Out of the top of my head, about 2000/4000 garbage is collected, and 4000/12000 recycling materials are collected.
Either the capacity of these buildings to pick up garbage is disappointing, I'm doing something wrong, or I'm suffering from a bug. Which is it?
Best Answer
When garbage is collected by visiting volunteers, it is not counted in the summary numbers.
Review the garbage collection dataview. If there is no garbage in any building, your garbage is collected. There is no benefit to adding more service vehicles in this situation.
Also, with update 7's change to pathfinding for service vehicles, garbage trucks are much more efficient than in the past. You may find that 3 garages (6 trucks) can pick up all the garbage in a city that size.
