Estimation of vehicle demand for door-to-door separate waste collection

Abstract

The paper analyses the current system of waste collection and waste quantity in a particular service area. It suggests an appropriate and applicable collection system that meets the legal requirements. The scenarios’ waste flows are examined for various selective activities. The collection vehicle demand is designed for each scenario. As a result, a collection system for door-to-door collection is proposed that meets the needs of the residents and can be operated with the possible lowest cost.
