The Garbage Disposal Gate

Description
Welcome to the future:
In the last decades mankind struggled with a problem which was literally piling up: Garbage.
The greatest researchers joined together to develop the most advanced machine the world has ever seen to tackle this problem.

It took many years of intense research and testing and billions where spent to construct this device. Despite all struggles, failures and setbacks they finally succeeded and introduced >The Garbage Disposal Gate<.

This ingenious device is not made to avoid garbage in the first place, but to get rid of it in a clean and efficient way. In its center: An artificial, but stable wormhole. Where it leads nobody exactly knows. Everybody just hopes we do not dump megatons of trash into some aliens’ backyard. Somebody might show up some day to complain …

Granted, it is a very complex machine and beside highly trained specialists it needs huge amounts of power to operate and a couple of 1000 m3 of water to cool the electromagnetic coils, but you can incinerate massive amounts of – well - just everything unwanted - 100% pollution free!

FEEDBACK WELCOME! :)
The GDG should be consider a "for fun" building and therefore it is not balanced very well.

But I´m willing to change the balancing according to feeback, so please comment and make suggestions! :)

Currently it should be slightly superiour compared to burning the garbage for electricty - that may change in the future.

Build and maintain:
250.000 to build, 4.000 / week to maintain

Operation:
Power Consumption: 160 000 KW *
Water Consumption: 8.000 m3 / Week
Garbage Trucks: 50 / Range: 5000
Garbage Consumption: 192.000 / week
Garbage Storage: 4.000.000
Workers: 10 / 10 / 10 / 20
Pollution: 0

*Please note, that due to some restrictions how Skylines works, the GDG has to produce power in order to work. So in fact it cosumes 176.000 KW and produces between 0 and 16.000 KW depending on the level of operation. The consumption is NOT shown in the building menu, but it is subtracted from your citywide power supply! Thanks to Mr Lowe for pointing that out.

I wasn't even that interested in using this mod (not yet anyway), but I loved the description so much that I'm downloading it anyway. My favorite part is:

"Where it leads nobody exactly knows. Everybody just hopes we do not dump megatons of trash into some aliens’ backyard. Somebody might show up some day to complain..."

I only just started playing a few days ago and I don't have any of the DLC yet, but if the Natural Desasters DLC doesn't have some kind of alien invasion, then they need to make a DLC just to follow the implications of this mod to their hilarious conclusions.

I have been using this since I discovered it in 2016 or so. Once I started I have never used anything else! Always dependable, the trucks go out as they are supposed to. It makes the trash management a breeze. NEVER TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME!

As someone currently watching through stargate (on Atlantis now). The implications of this are hilarious.

I've been using this in every city since I subscribed in 2015! I never have to worry about trash! It's a brilliant device. Eternally grateful.

Strange affect on my game. Plugged this in and everyone got sick or died, population about 35000, down to 27000 as I type, doesnt seem to level out, all still dieing.

Must be hilarious...just imagine you're a Goa'uld overlord on some really nice planet where you can go outside your ugly space ship and relax on the beach or in the forest...but then every ten minutes the stargate opens up and literal garbage is flying through it. This is some top level shiat right there, love it.
