Solid waste collection routes optimization via GIS techniques in Ipoh city, Malaysia

Waste collection becomes more complex in developing countries in terms oflogistic, fuel and labor cost and air pollutantsemission. In this study, solid waste collection routes optimizationusing Geographical Information System (GISArcView) was investigated. Five routes were selected in different area...
