[ECO] Dumpster full with greyed options

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.68
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? More than half. Getting tired of writing them all.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unknown
What happens when the bug occurs? Some Dumpster options say "Too full" and there's a visible mess around it.
What do you expect to see? No mess and full options
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

There's a visible mess around my dumpster and the "Dive for Thrills" and "Nap" options are greyed out, saying it's too full. It should be bottomless as my Lot Traits are Private Dwelling, Peace and Quiet, and Great Acoustics, with no Challenges set. I have the Eco Lifestyle pack (obviously, since it's a dumpster) but no settings that should cause this, and there's no way to clean it up. I also have the CanOFlage Outdoor Trash Receptacle on the same lot, and it seems fine. It's just the Dumpster acting up. I wouldn't mind quite as much if it had a Clean Up interaction, or an option to call for a pick up service, but neither exists.

Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title. Please add pack tags yourself.

    Hello 🙂

    I have this now

    Product: The Sims 4
    Platform:PC
    Which language are you playing the game in? English
    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    What is your current game version number? 1.97.42.1030
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All content as of 24/04/2023
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a dumpster
    What happens when the bug occurs? Some Dumpster options say "Too full" and there's a visible mess around it.

    For info: the lot type is generic

    The lot type does occasionally like to switch to residential

    The lot trait is Teen Neighbourhood, there are no lot challenges

    Going home and back to the lot seems to "clear" the dumpster

    The save can be found here https://simfileshare.net/download/3831219/

    The build is in Newcrest

    For testing, I've been filling it up by grilling a lot and throwing it all away

    Also, unsure if it's related but this text comes up when I choose to visit it (it is not and has never been named that):
