Waste Tranfer Facilitys don't process anything, they just transport an store waste. You need another WASTE PROCESSING COMPLEX

[@ajweiwill]

Or two.

[@Kristofburger]

He can't afford to run another processing complex at this point. They're essentially just massive incinerators, so one or two incinerators or recycling centers would do the trick.

[@johndoh6584]

Just needed not to destroy those two recycling centers XD

[@Stealthymist]

I don’t understand the purpose of this facility at all. If you run 5500 a week worth of recycling centers you would have triple the capacity. I’ve always found the waste processing complex to be terrible outside of aesthetic reasons and the lower noise!polution as compared to the recycling centers. I think they should have given this thing double or triple it’s processing capacity 190 000 is just too low for the price/size

[@Kristofburger]

@@Stealthymist It equals to exactly four incinerators in terms of processing rate with a slightly lower upkeep cost, and it has a huge 10 million unit garbage reserve. It also produces raw materials from the waste like the recycling center from Green Cities. Recycling centers might be better overall, but keep in mind they had to develop expansion packs so there are no cross-dependencies. I think they're a better option than just having incinerators dotted around the map.

Watching Biffa place "transfer" stations in the hope they'd affect "processing" capacity brings to mind the definition of insanity.

[@peewypeabody4284]

Heya Biffa! What's a little weird is, that the recyling center shows the capacity _per week_ whereas the waste transfer facility only shows a capacity. Could it be that the Waste _Transfer_ Facilities don't count towards your Garbage Process Capacity, but only the Waste _Processing_ Plant does? I suspect that the transfer facilities just add additional trucks that collect the garbage around your city, but only the big processing plant actually does away with the garbage.

[@oscarmancio2350]

Yeah, transfer facilities only increase the “landfill storage”, but not the processing. In order to get the latter up you need more processing facilities, so you’re cprrect

[@deViant14]

@@oscarmancio2350 so waste accumulation = yard line, waste processing = defensive and offensive plays, and increasing waste transfer facilities = moving the opponent's goalposts. Got it.

[@AaronGearheart]

The Waste Transfer Facility only holds the garbage until it can be sent to a Waste Processing Complex to get rid of the waste which will produce a lot of pollution. This is for much larger cities where you don't want too much pollution and you want all the trash to be exported somewhere else where all the pollution will be. So to recap, make an area for pollution and place the process complex with the transfer leading to it.

[@crzy1gs]

Biffa - the waste 'transfer' facilities do not process any trash, they only transfer it to the main complex, or incinerators etc. That is why your processing capacity went down when replacing recycling centers with them.

[@kai6950]

I literally just opened up my eyes🙏🏿 Blessed to see a Biffa video at 06am

[@HeyLookItsHelen]

As everyone else says you need another waste processing plant to increase capacity. But I also don’t think they’re actually a greener alternative than recycling centers. While the transfer ones don’t pollute (so they can go right in your residential zones for coverage), the big processing plants produce a TON of pollution, and the frequent trucks between the transfer and processing units adds traffic. Recycling pollutes a little but they also produce raw goods for your industry so you don’t have to import as much. On that note, general industry produce goods that commercial zones need. If you get rid of all of your general industry then the shops will have to import everything. I know gas isn’t really a concern in game but irl all that cross country industrial truck traffic has a big environmental impact.

[@cjg6064]

Ironically enough, I work in the waste industry and own a Junk Removal business. I visit a Waste Transfer Facility multiple times per day. Your issue you're having is that the Waste Transfer Facilities are a drop off point for the Trash trucks that do the actual trash collection house by house. Trucks come there, drop off the trash, which is then loaded into Waste Transfer Semi-Trucks, and sent to the larger Waste Processing Facility to be actually disposed of. The actual Transfer facilities do not add to the overall processing capacity, just makes it easier to provide trash coverage for the city on a whole. Definitely recommend adding an additional Waste Processing Complex somewhere on the opposite side of the other one. You can then probably reduce your budget down significantly as well.

I had no idea what caused it... City had 700k in the bank, and I lost it. I called it COVID and gave up on the city.

The little road in the middle of TransporTea Heights... If you make that into three segments, you can have - that would then allow you to put your path from the bus route, through to the tram stop, and then through to the city hall park on the other side.

[@williamhuang8309]

Biffa, the transfer facilities do not contribute to the trash processing capacity. They are like an auto-emptying landfill that temporarily stores trash until there is enough to process, then it sends trucks to the processing complex. So the capacity on the transfer facilities is technically landfill capacity that will get emptied.

[@axelrajr]

Biffa, you don't need a wind turbine to connect the island , just have one or two either type to power the island. or perhaps put them right there at the water's edge to jump the power if you want to. there is some nice empty areas there at the main road on the prison side. on the park around city hall, why not just make it free? then its not a big deal about the gates and fences and such. that will then let you expand across the entire 'triangle'.

The garbage processing only comes from the waste processing facility, not the waste transfer facility. If you want higher processing you need to add another one of those. it also seems that the processing facility's have a range of which they can receive waste from the transfer facilities because all the ones i have that are far away are just filling up and not transferring to the main facility.

[@angela8533]

I think it was referring to the waste processing. So the waste transfer facility helps in terms of collecting it and taking it to the processing plant, but it doesn't actually process the garbage. The big processing plant in your industry area is taking care of that. You should just need one more of those.

With the tram lines you added in the last episode, I feel like the purple line (#4 if I'm looking at it right) is/was the same as the green line (#1) going from the hub to the power/heating/industry area, when I think it should be that the green line goes back and forth between the university area and initial starting area as a sort of cut through between the two main residential zones (if sims want to go from one area to another), and line 4 should just service the forestry area and the residential area near it. That could cut down on the amount of trams traveling on the same line/track, and have less trams bunching up in the hub area. Have each line service its own area, with another line or two connecting them all together/as a way to transfer between areas.

[@crowaust]

The Transfer Facility adds a small amount of storage but no processing, the Processing Facility is the one that adds Processing amount. Think Cemetery(Storage) vs Crematory(processing) The Transfer facilities that you currently have are pretty well positioned, but you probably need a second Processing Facility on the opposite side of the city.

You could use a School of Environmental Studies through the Liberal Arts College to lower your garbage production. Also turn on policies Recycling and Plastics Recycling.
