Vehicle routing for municipal waste collection encompasses a variety of problems. This paper focuses on some operational problems regarding waste collections. These problems include the efficient routing of collection vehicles through a set of nodes in a network or along its branches. Because the task is one of collection with disposal as a terminal operation at the dumpsites, the problem is not too unlike that of the truck delivery problem. For this reason, the techniques for solving some of these problems developed in this paper should be of interest to those concerned with pickup and delivery problems.
