Fraser McLeod and Tom Cherrett (2010): Sustainable take-back in urban centres: the scope for joint domestic and trade waste collection services - A case study analysis in Winchester
AbstractThe potential benefits from combining collections of domestic and trade waste were investigated using the city of Winchester as a case study example. Although joint collections are, arguably, of most benefit when collecting recyclable waste, this study considered joint collection of residual waste from households and mixed waste from trade customers, as this was the existing trade collection arrangement. Detailed data on existing trade and domestic collections were obtained from the waste contractor employed by Winchester City Council to undertake the collections. Five residual waste domestic rounds and one trade round covering the city and surrounding areas were used in the study. Collections rounds were modelled using the vehicle routeing and scheduling package, LogiX, developed by DPS International.
