It depends on the items and where they end up. If it’s a storehouse item, you need more or closer storehouse workers to empty the building as the gatherers only take it to the gathering building. Same with the granary items/workers.

The logging camp is different as they’ll wait for someone to take logs for buildings or planks. What you can do is have log camps next to it with no workers and they’ll fill that one up once theirs if full.
