It dosen't seem to work.
In the first mission of the expansion, I built the Garbage Dump on the little plateu below the main city (as close as I could), but it dosen't seem to reduce pollution. I built it here because I felt it was normal to have the garbage dump a bit away from the city, so that people won't have to smell garbage around the city.
I have waited a year (game time of course) and still there's no change in pollution. I got tired of waiting so I issued the Pollution Standards and Anti Litter Ordinance edicts as well.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Wait several years and you will see an effect. I like it that way, instant reduction would be unrealistic (takes some time to pick up all the old garbage, while they are first busy collecting the new one)

Thank you! I placed another Garbage Dump and then I saw a small difference in pollution.
