Abstract: This paper studies a municipal waste collection problem, whose ultimate goal is to find an assignment of containers to service days and posterior routing so that the total distance covered by the waste collection trucks is minimized. Due to the complexity of this problem, we divide it into several subproblems. The focus of this paper is on the first problem, in which it must be decided which containers must be collected on each service day so that the containers collected on the same day are as close to each other as possible. In a second phase (out of the scope of this paper) the routes followed by the collection vehicles at each service day are optimized. Such separation of the problem is needed as a result of the sheer size and complexity of the real setting. Despite this separation into smaller subproblems, efficient procedures must be designed in order to solve real-sized instances. A computational experience over a number of instances shows the applicability of our methods.
