Özet

There is an increase in the amount of resource use due to the rise in population, urbanization, and industrialization. Also, the amount of waste increases due to an increase in consumption and resource use. Countries are developing new policies depending on both decreasing resources and environmental problems caused by waste. The "Zero Waste" project was launched to recycle waste and to reduce environmental pollution in Turkey. The project aims to separate recyclable waste at its source and recycle them. One of the problems encountered in the implementation of the project is collecting the waste from temporary storage areas. In this study, the problem of transportation of wastes from temporary warehouses to the main warehouse was discussed in Kirikkale/Turkey. A three-step solution approach has been proposed to the solution of the problem. In the first stage, the amounts of waste generated at the addresses to collect were estimated. In the second stage, the addresses to be visited are classified with an approach based on Pareto analysis according to the calculated waste amounts. According to this classification, it is planned which addresses will be visited on which day of the week. At the last stage, the problem is modeled as a heterogeneous multi-vehicle routing problem, which also takes into account the daily working hours and vehicle capacity constraints. According to the result of the mathematical model, the number of vehicles needed for waste collection, the types of vehicles, and the routes of the vehicles were found. Considering the implementation stages of the Zero Waste project, three different case studies are handled for Kirikkale. These case studies have been solved by considering different waste rates. According to the results, the waste collection plan was made economically by visiting fewer spots in a week.
