I have Zoo Tycoon 2, and I must say it is a wonderful successor to the original.

Trash: I have heard that you clean this up yourself- how easy is it? do you have to pick up each piece induvidually or can you clear patches at a time- also emptying bins manually- and are there more than one type of trash bin. how about picking up poo?
It's very easy to pick up the trash, you just have to press the spacebar when you are in something called 'first person mode,' (That means you can actually walk around your own zoo!
There's also two kinds of trash can, the regular one and the recycling bin.

What work do mantainance workers do, and are they more efficent in their jobs than the origonal?
The maintenence workers are just as efficient as they are in the original. They pick up trash and empty trash cans. They fix broken fences, although the fences do not decay like in the first.

Trampled terrain i find this hard to find in the origonal, is it easyer in 2?
There's no trampled terrain in ZT2, but you can get cracked pathways, but this is rare.
Quote:
money, what arre the funds and money-making items?
In Freeform mode, you have unlimited funds. If you are not playing freeform, you do have a limited budget. You can make more by purchasing a compost pile, which sells your animals' waste to gardeners, and that gives you some extra dough. You can also make more money with gift carts and food stands. You can also complete 'challenges' for extra rewards.

Terrain hight, i find it difficult and expensive in the origonal, is it any diferent in the second one.?
It's a lot easier, and doesn't cost you a penny.

Soo keeper efficenty, do they fed and heal animals more efficently?
They are probably about the same as in the original. Also, you can be a zookeeper and look after the animals.
The animals also are not as picky. You can be more creative with their exhibits.
I say, get Zoo Tycoon 2, but there are not that many animals in it. So I recommend getting some of its expansions, which are:
African Adventure
Endangered Species
Marine Mania (yes there's one for No.2!)
Hope this helped.
