Swamped with waste

Hi is anyone else having problems with excessive waste.

How many compost yards do you have?

23 as shown on the picture, I have tried destroying half and rebuilding but still the waste persists.

for a population of 2000 people, have 30, or 32 to ensure

23? geez how many houses? Are they doing their jobs?
you only need 1 per 10 manors so 80 people if efficient layout.

Did you run out of gold to pay them?

anyway click on a compost worker and see what he/she is doing.
