Optimization of the Location of the Municipal Solid Waste Bins Using Geographic Information Systems

Analysis of Municipal Solid Waste Collection Methods Focusing on Zero-Waste Management Using an Analytical Hierarchy Process

“…The ArcGIS Network Analyst function is used to determine the optimal routes based on the traveling distances and operational times of vehicles associated with each route. GIS has been used in several waste management studies, including optimizing municipal waste collection services [10,[72][73][74][75][76].…”

Waste bins location problem: A review of recent advances in the storage stage of the Municipal Solid Waste reverse logistic chain

“…In the context of a two-shift collection plan, Lin et al (2011) aimed at minimizing the number of bins that have to be collected within each shift of the collection vehicle. An interesting result was obtained by Carlos et al (2016) who was able to reduce the required collection frequency of recyclable material as a result of improving the location of bins to enhance user accessibility which lead to a reduction in the risk of overflow.…”

“…Another relevant aspect is the vehicle accessibility to the bins considering that certain streets are not adequate for collection vehicles, either because they are extremely narrow, dirty, or the asphalt is in very poor conditions. Thus, bins should not be located in those streets (Carlos et al, 2016;Boskovic and Jovicic, 2015;López et al, 2008;Vu et al, 2018). Some models locate bins only in main streets (Aremu and Vijay, 2016;Zahan and Hasan, 2020) or road intersections (Adedotun et al, 2020;Khan and Samadder, 2016;Vijay et al, 2008).…”
