Introduction One of the first steps of a solid waste management
system Proper planning and implementation services a
foundation for a sound waste management system Collection service in urban, suburban and rural area Different collection program in different communities Waste collection and transfer system may be complex
and need to consider important variables : Waste type, service area, level of desired service,
public vs private companies, financial resources, waste reduction programs, labour,
-
Other important variables Population distribution Overall topography and road layout Characteristics of the waste generated and quantity The land use and regulations Disposal methods use Weather conditions Type and number of vehicles available

If the number of households that a truck can service in a single day has been determined, the number of collection vehicles needed for a community can be estimated by the equation:
N = SF/XW N= Number of collection vehicles needed S= The total number of households service F= The number of collections per week X= The number of customers a truck can service per day and W= the number of workdays per week
-
Route development Simple non computerized approach based on logical
principles Routes not be fragmented @ overlapped, compact and consists
of street segments in the same geographical area Equivalent workloads in each routes (constant total collection
plus haul time Start the route close to the garage @ motor pool Waste from heavily streets should not be collected during peak
hours For one-way street, best to start the route near the upper end of
the street
-
Computer-assisted routing Becoming popular route design, especially when the route need
to be adjusted periodically To program a detailed routes, some of the essential information
Block configuration Waste generation rates Distance between residence/ routes / disposal site/ transfer site Loading times

Exercise 1 In the town of PJ, it is determined that per capita waste
generation rate is 1.4kg per person per day. Collection is conducted once per week by the municipality. If the density of MSW in the typical trash container is 150kg/m3, how many 120L containers would be needed for a family of four?
Exercise 2 Determine the number of collection vehicles needed if 8250
households must be serviced once per week. The truck collect wastes 4 days per week, with 1 day for routine maintenance. Assume that an average the truck can service 1.4 households per minute. The actual time spent for waste collecting is 5 hour.

Transfer station The needs depends to the distance between disposal site and
the centre of the city. Advantage
Reduce traffic or smaller vehicles to the disposal site Reduce transport , fuel and labour cost Volume reduction Ability for processing (shredding) Waste sorting for recycling
