Solid waste management systems currently receive wide attention, from both economic and environmental planners, because of their complexity during coordination of various management strategies. The efficiency and cost effectiveness of route optimization and disposal site selection depend largely upon the appropriate placement of storage bins and their corresponding command area for waste contribution. The present paper illustrates a geographic information system (GIS) based algorithm for optimal location and number of storage bins, considering p-median constrained model.
