This paper describes an application of a multi-objective optimization algorithm (ie, the non-
dominated sorting genetic algorithm II [NSGA-II]) and a fuzzy expert system (FES) to allocate …

Choosing an appropriate municipal waste management method is a very complicated
environmental problem in cities. This research introduces an optimization model for waste …

Solid waste management is a challenging problem in developing nations. The health and
environmental negative implications associated with solid waste management are very …

This paper presents a multi-objective optimization model for the design of a waste
management system consisting of customers, transfer stations, landfills and collection …

Solid waste management is a complex issue, involving economic, technical, legislative, and
en-vironmental aspects. Decision makers should be assisted in identifying different …

With increasing population, urbanization and economic development, especially in
developing countries, waste generation is increasing sharply. Traditional waste disposal …

Municipal solid waste can be considered both an opportunity and a threat. If it is not
managed properly, it will cause pollution. On the other hand, it is a significant source of raw …

The efficient management of municipal solid waste is a major problem for large and
populated cities. In many countries, the majority of municipal solid waste is landfilled or …

In this research article, the multi-objective optimization model for solid waste management
problem is solved by the goal programming method. The model has three objectives: total …

The increasing generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a major problem particularly in
large metropolitan cities with inadequate landfill capacities and ineffective waste …
