“…Waste collection is a highly visible service that involves significant expenditure and challenging operational issues. Additionally, it is expensive to operate, regarding investment costs, operational costs, and environmental costs (Faccio et al, 2011) [52]. Fullerton et al (2014) found that while overall business spending and business investment are positively related to waste and environmental management, and current period expenditure is not related to waste and environmental management [53].…”

Waste generation and waste management are critical environmental issues faced by countries all over the world. Furthermore, there are greater environmental, economic, and social demands on firms to reduce the environmental impacts due to environmental problems brought about by their operating activities. There is a current debate as to the financial implications of waste management expenditure on waste reduction targets. This study examines the relationship between waste management expenditure on waste reduction targets, and the impact of waste reduction targets on firms' profitability. This study used the quantitative method that utilizes the multiple regressions method to analyses data from selected South African Johannesburg Stock Exchange's (JSE) Socially Responsible Index (SRI) listed manufacturing and mining firms for ten years (2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016). The study tests if there is a relationship between waste management expenditure and waste reduction targets, as well as the impact of waste reduction targets on firms' profitability. Results show that waste reduction targets have a positive, but insignificant, correlation on the profitability of firms, and also indicate that there is a relationship between waste management expenditure and waste reduction targets. The study recommends that firms should focus more on minimizing waste generation to reduce costs.

“…Tung and Pinnoi solve a real world vehicle routing and scheduling problem constrained by multiple time windows and minimum inter-arrival times for each site as well as the limited vehicle capacity and operating hour with improvement in both total cost and the number of vehicles utilized. Faccio et al [50] in 2011 introduce an innovative vehicle routing model with an application in an Italian city of about 100,000 inhabitants. The results show that the model brings economical and feasible improvement in terms of perishable food, integrating the presented real-time traceability data with the physical conditions of the transported items.…”

“…At the end of the study, it was determined that the cost of collecting solid waste had been reduced by 10 to 20 %. Faccio et al (2011) applied multi-objective models using real-time data to the waste collection process. The study was carried out in an Italian town with a population of approximately 100,000.…”

Solid waste collection systems are very important in today's urban environment. The last three decades witnessed the development in urban areas over rural ones in a process called urbanization. Growth of urbanization is much more in developing countries than in the developed countries to the extent that it became a trend characterizing several developed and even least developed countries. Unfortunately, it has been observed that the systems currently used in modern cities do not provide a service of sufficient efficiency and quality, despite their high running costs. As an alternative, a smart solid waste collection system with all subcomponents was developed and applied in a small city in Turkey. In addition to the conventional waste collection systems, this system included smart features and optimization algorithms for route planning. The study presents the design philosophy, feasibility and pilot implementation of a smart solid waste collection system which can be operated with high efficiency at low cost.
