Abstract

A facility location problem to place waste collection facilities is introduced. We present two different strategies to deal with residents whose access to the opened collection facilities is restricted (e.g., they are too far away). First, we consider a penalty to be borne by the municipality for each resident bringing its waste to a location that is considered to be unacceptable. Second, we provide a collection service performed by a vehicle such that each resident is either served by a collection facility or a vehicle collecting its waste. We compare both formulations with a simple example that considers a small neighborhood of a Swiss municipality.
