“…In another study of Vietnam, the results showed that by implementing optimized solid waste collection system, the cost of MSW collection can reduce by 11.3 per JM2 15,3 cent (Nguyen-Trong et al, 2017). A study was conducted by Lella et al (2017) on waste collection and transportation route optimization in India. In this study, the possible transfer areas were proposed by different design factors.…”

“…Another study was surveyed the location modeling by considering a landfill string problem and used cost minimization and multi-criteria decision models (Eiselt and Marianov, 2015). Similar to what as done by Erkut et al (2008), Yadav et al (2017), Lella et al (2017) and some other researchers, and by examining the role of the TSs in optimizing issues and identifying its positive impact on system efficiency, the determination of location of TSs has been considered in this study.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is twofold: first, to examine the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in increasing customer environmental awareness (CEA) to decrease the municipal solid waste (MSW), and secondly, to examine the effect of government policies in the amount of air pollution caused by transfer stations (TSs). Design/methodology/approach This study proposes a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model. For solving this multi-objective problem, the authors use epsilon constraint method, which presented eight Pareto solutions. For selecting the best solution, the analytic hierarchy process approach is used. The presented model is applied on a real case study, and the results are discussed and sensitivity analysis is implemented on the parameters of the concern. Findings This study confirms the assumption that by allocating budget to NGOs for increasing CEA, the produced waste will be decreased. Research limitations/implications In the present study, the authors only investigate air pollution caused by TS. Future studies can investigate other types of pollution. Furthermore, uncertainty in the amount of produced waste can be variable making the problem closer to the real environment. In this case, robust optimization may have better results. Practical implications Based on the results of sensitivity analysis, some implications obtain that can highlight by managers in the decision-making process. The operational costs of TS have a critical aspect in founding TS, so using new technology and high-tech machines for operational processes of TSs, can result in decreasing the running cost of TSs. Also, the determination of TS capacity is a remarkable issue in optimization, which should be paid special attention to this for the design of TSs in the planning phase of the system. Moreover, collaborating with NGOs has a good effect on increasing CEA that results in a decrease of MSW. Originality/value The role of NGOs and government simultaneity has been considered in a green supply chain. Moreover, the authors considered TS between source and disposal that reduce the time of transferring waste. Therefore, this study can be beneficial for the MSW management system, which faces the problems in the lack of capacity and transportation problems and environmental issues by proposing solutions in three studies including economic, environmental and social aspects.

Waste transportation is a part of complex waste management. Waste transportation will be influenced by the growth of waste. To simplify the implementation of garbage transportation, a waste transportation model is needed. Various wastes transportation models have been developed to explain the process of transporting garbage. The garbage transport model is basically designed to simplify the transportation system so that the behavior of several components in the system can be known. One of the models that can be used in the garbage transportation system is GIS. GIS is a spatial and computerized waste-based modeling, so in era 4.0 this modeling of waste transportation using GIS was needed. This paper aims to discuss the modeling of waste transportation using GIS has been carried out in various regions. The discussion of the paper discusses the use of GIS in waste transportation, a factor that influences GIS in waste transportation.

“…A solution procedure on the basis of the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution method was proposed to solve the optimization model within reasonable computation time. Lella et al (2017) discussed possible collection methods for solid waste management in India, and presented methods for optimal collection and transportation of waste using GIS techniques through network analysis. In addition, they proposed possible transfer station locations based on various design factors such as open land availability, ease of access from all the composting units/dustbin locations, transfer means by tractor trailers, and sanitation and environmental requirements.…”

One of the important issues in the world is the significant growth of waste production, including waste that is not biodegradable in nature. According to the Kerman Municipality, 440 tonnes of municipal waste is collected daily in Kerman consisting of five major parts of paper, plastic, metal, glass, and wet waste. The major problems of municipal solid waste disposal are soil erosion, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. The most important factors related to recycling are waste sorting and the relevant environmental conditions. This study aims to create a sustainable approach by locating the optimal sites to reduce environmental pollution, decrease costs, and improve the service system to the society. Optimal locations for establishing the collecting and sorting centers in the city are specified by the use of geographic information system software, based on criteria consisting of population density, road network, distance to health centers, distance to disposal center, waste sorting culture, land space, and land cost, which were weighted by an analytical hierarchy process. It was noteworthy that the criterion “waste sorting culture”, which has a foundation in human sciences and sociology, has been considered by experts in this study to be of the highest importance among other criteria at locating sorting centers. Subsequently, using a symmetric capacitated vehicle routing problem, the number and capacity of each vehicle are determined to serve the specified locations according to the economic, social, and environmental constraints.
