Abstract

The municipal solid waste system is a complex reverse logistic chain which comprises several optimisation problems. Although these problems are interdependent—i.e., the solution to one of the problems restricts the solution to the other—they are usually solved sequentially in the related literature because each is usually a computationally complex problem. We address two of the tactical planning problems in this chain by means of a Benders decomposition approach: determining the location and/or capacity of garbage accumulation points, and the design and schedule of collection routes for vehicles. Our approach manages to solve medium-sized real-world instances in the city of Bahía Blanca, Argentina, showing smaller computing times than solving a full MIP model.
