Waste Disposal
Sims produce waste.
If waste is not properly disposed of, incidents of fires, sickness and injuries will increase.
- It will also decrease the overall land value of the city.
Waste disposal can be remedied by building a garbage dump.
Recycling is another option.
- Recycling is not only good for the environment but also recovers resources such as metal, plastic and alloys.
Waste Disposal Structures
Garbage Dump
- Main article: Garbage Dump
Garbage dump summons garbage trucks to go around and collect the city's waste, and drops it off at the dump.
- It will lower the land value of nearby areas.
Garbage dump generates a large amount of ground pollution.
- It is wise to build the garbage dump far away from your residential and other "clean" areas such as the water tower.
Recycling Center
- Main article: Recycling Center
Recycling center is an expensive structure that removes some trash without generating ground pollution.
- It also recovers resources such as metal, plastic and alloys.
Recycling center does not replace garbage dump, it merely enhances the city's waste disposal process.
