Learn how to manage garbage disposal in SimCity 3000, starting with a 4x4 plot of landfill and expanding as your city grows.

When you first start your city in SimCity 3000, you won't need landfills or garbage facilities in large numbers. At first, you might want to zone a 4x4 plot of landfill or similar. Try to keep these away from residential and commercial zones. Remember to connect roads or have some other form of transportation leading to it to actually be effective.

As your city grows, you will need more and more plots of landfills and other garbage disposal buildings. Recycling centers can help take away some of the stress over the landfills and incinerators burn trash to get rid of them. Basically, all means of trash disposal should be placed FAR away from residential and commercial regions for obvious reasons. After all, who would want to live next to one of these.

Tips
  • Place garbage facilities away from residential and commercial zones.
  • Ensure roads or transportation connect to garbage facilities for effectiveness.
  • Utilize recycling centers to alleviate landfill stress.
  • Incinerators burn trash to dispose of it.
