OK ... Feel free to add to it. I'm more like clutching at straws as well as thinking out loud. I think if I implement these proposed solutions in the right order and think ahead somewhat I might just avoid some of the headaches my last city build attempt went through. A quick cut and paste of my random thoughts:

LANDFILL PLACEMENT ‘&’ Associated Issues! ______________________________________
Forum Post → What are the main issues with using the landfill? As far as I can tell, it would seem to be POLLUTION and TRAFFIC:
I think I have been making the mistake of placing my landfill in my industrial zone. Not only does this seem to create traffic issues from all those dump tucks in an already dense truck zone, but also when I decide to rezone the industrial into say forestry the pollution from the dump kills the trees of the surrounding clean(ish) industry.
It seems a common reply to the Landfill issue is to get an incinerator:
Traffic issues can be a major issue with respect to the placement of incinerator and the traveling between landfill (which cannot be moved or deleted until empty) and incinerator during the emptying process.
The following pic is my proposed config with the expectation to put in an incinerator when the time comes to empty.
In a rush → just imagine something close with a little off road next to the landfill.
BUT – New questions comes to mind:
· Who is going to pick up the rubbish whilst both the incinerator and landfill are out of action?
· Should I think ahead to include space alongside the existing landfill for when it comes time to the ‘emptying into incinerator’ phase. Space not only for the incinerator (as previously discussed re less traffic issues and faster empting process.) but also for another landfill to keep trucks the dump trucks running from the same location:
Whilst I would have two landfills at the end of the emptying process, only one would be operating as per normal. Once the original land fill is empty I could delete or simply move to a more practical location. I could also switch it off in a new location for later use. Switching it on and off just as a backup?
INCINERATOR:
· How effective are these compared to a land fill.
· I ponder the cost early on Vs long term with regards to both money, traffic and pollution?
· How many incinerators and landfills? What ratio?
· If an incinerator has much less pollution, then I guess I could put close to where they are need most cutting back on traveling time?
· Whilst still having the odd land fill way out in the distance with an incinerator I could turn on and off for emptying purposes?
OTHER GAME DYNAMICS TO ASSIST GARBAGE REDUCTION:
· Policy Setting (Recycling)
· Districts (commercial organic produce specialization / green residential)
· Educate Citizens
· Land Value ???

Am I on track ... or missing anything???
