Zoo Tycoon is a 2001 simulation game developed by Blue Fang Games and published by Microsoft.
Your chance to design the zoo of your wildest imagination is finally here! Design, build and manage—you are the boss! Keep your guests and animals happy, or face the consequences of hungry animals, in this insanely fun zoo simulation. This place is a real zoo--and you're in charge! Go wild running the most fun and beautiful zoo you can imagine. Care for unpredictable and untamed animals (and those are just the guests!). Plan wisely, because if the animals don't like their food, environment, or handling, they interact poorly with visitors, and unhappy guests means fewer dollars. Play smart and keep everyone and everything happy, and you'll be a zoo tycoon.
Zoo Tycoon is abandonware and no longer sold or supported by its publishers. Files are archived here for these platforms:

The maintenance workers wont clean up the trash. I thought I was going nuts, but somewhat relieved I am not the only one experience it. I am wondering if this is a glitch, or is it an anti piracy thing?

I saw that someone posted a fix for this problem about two years ago. I have not been able to test this out yet because I have never installed or have tried daemon tools and am unfamiliar with it.
This is the comment I am referencing to: “So there is a glitch if you download the preinstalled version where you can’t assign tasks to maintenance workers (trash never gets cleaned). To fix you need to install with daemon tools, zoo tycoon then zoo tycoon complete.”
