When the population was at 24-30,000 I had 6 recycling centers and 2 Waste Tech Plants, which kept my landfills bare. Garbage was not a problem. The population gets to around 37,000 and all of a sudden garbage shows up everywhere and the landfill is filling up like crazy. I wanted to see if plopping more garbage maintenance facilities would solve the problem, so I used a money cheat to get the funds to build a bunch of them, just to see what would happen. I even zoned for more landfill. Nothing changed, and the newly zoned landfill space filled with garbage quicker than the old. In total I have:
17 Garbage Disposal Shoots
10 Waste Tech Plants
4 Plasma Gasification Plants
16 Recycling Centers

Here's what the Ministry of Garbage Tells me:

I queried some of my industrial buildings and if I'm reading the information correctly, the amount of garbage they are producing seems outrages.

I wish I had taken a picture of the garbage graph to see when this started, but I don't think that would even give me a clue, because I haven't plopped anything special in this city that I haven't plopped in another city. And the buildings with a query pictures have grown in other cities without producing this amount of garbage.
That looks like it might be bad modding on your custom content that makes them produce an insane amount of garbage. I'm not exactly sure tho, but I know some of the older lots are not correct in their stats and you may have one of them somewhere in your city

That can't be the issue, because there's not one building in this city that isn't in another city I've established.
