Statistica Neerlandica, 1975, vol. 29, issue 1, 9-21

Abstract: A number of models is developed for the selection and allocation of trucks for household refuse collection. The models vary from a simple model related to the optimal batch‐size formula to a linear programming model. A minimum‐cost selection is made on the basis of time per pick‐up, weight per pick‐up, driving time from collection area to landfill site, capacity and costs of the relevant truck‐crew combinations and lengths of possible shifts. The models are equally applicable to other house‐to‐house collecting and distributing activities.
