| Abstract: | In a city with a population over 6000000, solid waste collection activities require a lot of attention. The resources used for collection and transport, trucks and labor, can be utilized more effectively if waste is transported to the disposal area via transfer stations. A general mathematical programming approach with four stages is proposed to determine the locations of transfer stations. Certain modifications are required for the case considered, all resulting in a model which identifies the trade-off between costs of carrying the waste by different transportation modes. |
