@crinrict Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but my thought was this issue is not necessarily the excessive spawning of broken items on landfill lots, but the inability to do anything with those items, particularly once fixed?
I just experienced this in a new save, as well. Only 2 items were dropped off: a fridge, and a TV. However, broken or fixed, my Sim was not able to take it home or sell it or do anything except repair and/or use it. One item was blocking the doorway so I had to go into Free Build mode to delete it.
Also, the broken fridges are still able to produce items such as quick meals, etc. Not sure if that is intentional or not.
