The transportation of municipal solid waste (MSW) and the selection of optimal locations for MSW landfills and transfer stations are considered the most important issues in every MSW management system. This paper presents a modeling tool to aid in the design of a MSW transportation system and for the identification of transfer station and landfill optimal locations using a multi-objective mathematical model that minimizes investment, operational and transportation costs, number of transportation vehicles and the emissions of pollutants. Matlab was used for the prgramming of the developed model enabling rapid yet realistic analysis of the MSW transportation systems, and can be used for analyzing either existing or proposed design systems. In order to demonstrate the principles of the model and the feasibility of its application, it is applied on a hypothetical example that represents a situation of a MSW management system composed of existing and planned facilities. A sensitivity analysis concluded that the use of compacting vehicles leads to a significant decrease in the number of vehicles and GHG emissions.
