Digital computer simulation model for complex urban mixed-refuse collection systems to calculate number of daily truck routes in each subarea as function of household density, collection frequency, and collection truck traffic haul distance; individual collection trucks are assigned by number to work in subareas by days of week; costs of alternate locations for final disposal sites and transfer station sites can be investigated and compared; efficiencies of proposed systems with different collection truck capacities and with or without auxiliary compaction equipment can also be investigated.
