How to get rid of garbage in Cities Skylines 2?

Garbage disposal in Cities Skylines 2 involves using landfills, incinerator plants, and recycling centers. These methods have varying degrees of suitability based on the city you’ve created. Prioritize greener options to minimize pollution. Here are the three paths to a cleaner city in Cities Skylines 2:

  • Landfill – These fill with trash over time. You can increase the landfill area with time. Just try not to keep residential or commercial areas near this location. It’s a cheap solution at first but there are better options to consider. Upgrades let you increase the garbage trucks for collection and some partial recycling capabilities.
  • Incinerator plant – As the title says, this plant collects garbage and burns it. This can be converted into electricity, reducing the demand for your other electricity sources. But this generates a lot of ground and air pollution.
  • Recycling plant – In addition to being cheaper than an incinerator, this plant is the greenest solution here. Using a recycling plant grants you useful resources from recycling waste. This can then be used to make new goods and improve your economy. This doesn’t degrade the environment like the other two options.
