Tiivistelmä: | The materials in trash, or municipal solid waste (MSW), may be recycled, composted, incinerated, or landfilled. Transporting these materials to waste-management facilities consumes part of the operating budget of a municipality. Many factors, the majority uncertain, may influence the planning of wasteflow allocation. MSW managers want to know: (1) whether the existing pattern is close to the optimal, and (2) if not, what is the optimal? The authors used a gray linear-programming (GLP) model to address these questions for the regional municipality of Hamilton-Wentworth, Ontario. |
