District Recycling Hub

District Recycling Hub

District Recycling Hub by dazflint

This lot is a small (3×1) roadside recycling depot. It sends 2 or 3 garbage trucks out over a small area (less than 1km radius). It’s cheap to build (€1500) and cheap to run (€80/wk). It doesn’t pollute, although it is moderately noisy.

These qualities mean that it’s ideal for building a distributed, local garbage disposal network right there in your neighbourhoods – you don’t have to place an ugly landfill or polluting incinerator close to your cims! Put one or two District Recycling Hubs in each neighbourhood instead. You can also use them to boost the service to local trouble-spots and out-of-the-way areas, far from your main facilities.

My design is inspired by NGon’s wonderful Recycling Centre, and I’ve used NGon’s recycling containers as props as well as adding my own.

Don’t be surprised if it shows as ‘not working’ from time to time. This happens when the garbage trucks are out on the streets, and the containers on the lot are empty. That’s the way CO have designed the garbage systems in the game – they’re… eccentric. The bottom line is, I’ve tested the lot extensively and it works well! ?
