Waste collection is a fundamental element of a municipal solid waste management system. The main goal of a waste collection strategy is to collect in a timely and economical manner, as much correctly source separate waste as possible, in order to ease the subsequent waste sorting and/or treatment stage with the aim to maximise re-use and
The best operating solid waste systems engage all the stakeholders in planning, implementing, and monitoring changes to the system (Wilson and Scheinberg 2010).However, only with acknowledgment of the options involved in the different collection systems and optimized costs can be expected to see appropriate solid waste

Waste collection is a critical step in managing waste, yet rates vary largely by income levels, with upper-middle- and high-income countries providing nearly universal waste collection. Low-income countries collect about 48 percent of waste in cities, but this proportion drops drastically to 26 percent outside of urban areas.
Abstract: This paper provides a thorough literature review of current state-of-the-art systems analysis techniques for urban solid waste collection and identifies four intrinsic deficiencies of the existing studies over different types of cities. As a demonstration, a multiconstrained and multicompartment routing problem is modeled with roll-on roll-off
Solid-waste management, the collecting, treating, and disposing of solid material that is discarded because it has served its purpose or is no longer useful. Improper disposal of municipal solid waste can create unsanitary conditions, pollution, and outbreaks of
cost-cutting strategies to help make the future of your collection system successful, including reducing the frequency of collection, implementing dual collection of solid waste and recyclables, and automating collection practices. Regardless of the strategy you adopt, you''re bound to see impressive results. Collection costs (Figure 1
