I was watching a video on Songdo, South Korea, and noticed the city has a pneumatic waste management system. Where trash is put into bags, then those bags are sent through vacuum tubes and high air pressure. This eliminates the need for garbage trucks. The bags are in different colors (for different recyclable materials), which when the pipes end at a waste management facility they are optically sorted by machines
Here is a video, it can even be integrated into high-rise buildings and have disposal units at each floor.
This would be a great late game addition to cities, especially if your building green cities. Similar to how we have heat pipes, along with water/sewer pipes, there can be another pipe added on for pneumatic waste, and every building in the pipe's radius gets a little upgrade where all the trash is automatically collected via pipes and trash trucks are no longer needed. It can even be a requirement Self-Sufficient Buildings demand, that you install a city wide pneumatic waste collection system. All the pipes can probably connect to a main building, preferably a new greener higher tier recycling center which recycles all the material.
