Waste collection and transport (WC&T) constitutes a large fraction of the total municipal solid
waste (MSW) management costs worldwide. In Greece currently this may account for 70 …

Expenditure for waste collection and transport in Tunisia constitutes 75–100% of the total
solid waste management budget. In this study, optimized scenarios were developed using …

Local authorities constitute worldwide the main providers of waste management services.
Waste collection and transport is responsible for a large fraction of the total waste …

This work proposes an optimisation of municipal solid waste collection in terms of collection
cost and polluting emissions (carbon oxides, carbon dioxides, nitrogen oxides and …

In the present paper, an innovative model for the estimation of municipal solid waste
generation and collection is proposed. This model is part of an extended solid waste …

Two conceptual mixed integer linear optimization models were developed to optimize the
haul and transfer of municipal solid waste (MSW) prior to landfilling. One model is based on …

Global average temperature increases and causes extreme weather events, killing millions
of people and affecting economic stability. Municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of the primary …

Collection of municipal solid waste is one of the most important elements of municipal waste
management and requires maximum fund allocated for waste management. The cost of …

In the present paper, the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used for the identification of optimal
routes in the case of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) collection. The identification of a route for …

During the last decade, metaheuristics have become increasingly popular for effectively
confronting difficult combinatorial optimization problems. In the present paper, two individual …
