Proper management of municipal solid waste (MSW) has been a crucial aspect of every society due to its social, environmental, and economic impacts. Operations research techniques have frequently focused on cost minimization objectives in locational planning of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) systems. However, transportation constitutes an integral part of this system producing a considerable amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Therefore, sustainable management of this system with GHG emissions minimization considerations is necessary to preserve the resources and protect the environment. In this study, a bi-objective optimization model is proposed to minimize system cost and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission resulting from transportation activities in locational planning of MSWM systems. The proposed model is applied to MSWM system of Ankara to introduce transfer stations (TSs). Two extensions of the current system are examined, namely, the extended and hybrid systems, where MSW is only transported through TSs in the former, while direct shipments are also allowed in the latter. For both extensions, it is observed that with no or little increase in cost, considerable savings in emission can be achieved. Simulation analyses show that CO2 emission and cost are not subject to a considerable change due to speed variations of vehicles.

A novel model for sustainable waste collection arc routing problem: Pareto-based algorithms
Tirkolaee, Erfan Babaee; Goli, Alireza; Gutmen, Selma; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Szwedzka, Katarzyna (2022-01-01)
Municipal solid waste (MSW) management is known as one of the most crucial activities in municipalities that requires large amounts of fixed/variable and investment costs. The operational processes of collection, transportation and disposal include the major part of these costs. On the other hand, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission as environmental aspect and citizenship satisfaction as social aspect are also of particular importance, which are inevitable requirements for MSW management. This study tries to deve...
Modelling and assessment of landfill gas generation at afyonkarahisar landfill site
Karayılan, Sevde; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Department of Environmental Engineering (2018)
Management of municipal solid wastes is one of the important environmental problems because of increasing population and developing industrialization in our country. Besides, there is a need to seek alternative energy sources due to rapid consumption of conventional energy sources. Landfilling is still the most common solid waste disposal method in the world and generated landfill gas consists of significant amount of methane that could be used for energy generation. In this study, it is aimed to model the ...
Investigation of fuel values and combustion characteristics of RDF samples
Sever Akdağ, Ayşe; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2014)
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is an unavoidable by-product of human activities. The generation of MSW tends to increase with the growing population and the economic development of the society. Landfilling is one of the most common disposal methods for MSW in the world. However, there are numerous disadvantages of landfills including the potential to create air, soil and water pollution. Also, many valuable resources are wasted when waste is landfilled. Furthermore, many countries have established rules to lim...
