Improved Efficiency for Kirtland Air Force Base Solid Waste Collection

Abstract

This effort was initiated to find new ways to improve Air Force base level residential solid waste collection. This study investigated two collection modifications which were intended to improve system efficiency and, thus, conserve resources. The two modifications were: (1) optimum routing of the refuse collection vehicles; and (2) curbside, paper bag collection. The study results showed that large economies (exclusive of paper bag costs) could be realized if the two-system modifications were implemented together.
