dc.description.abstractThe existing solid waste management system at Ilala Municipal suffers from the lack of a real plan for collection centre locations and vehicle routes. In this study, a proposed mathematical model for municipal solid waste management process for Ilala municipality is presented. It includes the use of the concept of collection centres. Operational research methodology particularly Mixed Integer Programming is used to model the problem. The problem is solved to optimality which provides the best distribution of collection centres and their capacities. The solution shows a leastcost transportation plan with a cost saving of 38.3% per day compared to the current system.
