Where is the dang trash to clean up?

So I’ve discovered that if you want to actually enjoy cleaning up Sulani, you have to have your sims live on Mua Pel’am.

I’ve played several weeks with my conservationist sim who lives in Ohan’ali Town and was very frustrated that I could never find anything to clean up when visiting Mua Pel’am. I’d get the work task to clean up 3 things on Mua and I’d never find anything. I’d have to actually have my sim comb the beach for trash. That’s no fun. I want the trash piles sitting on the beach, floating in the ocean. I wanted the sulfur piles. The ash mounds by the volcano. Several weeks and nothing. I’d be lucky if I found one piece of trash without combing for it myself.

I moved my sim to Mua to see how that would work. Instantly every day there’s at least 3 piles of trash on the beach, 2 in the water, 2 sulfur piles, 3 ash mounds.

I’m so annoyed. Why doesn’t this stuff show up if you don’t live there? I don’t want to have to live on that specific island just to enjoy the career and cleaning up the island.
