Abstract
Abstract A deterministic inventory computer model is developed and used in selecting the optimum sizes and number of on site refuse storage systems. The majority of these systems studied are either hauled containers or open waste dumps. The optimum sizes were selected by the computer program by comparing the cost of longer refuse storage times (larger storage containers or areas and lesser frequency of refuse pickup and collection vehicles) versus shorter refuse storage times (smaller storage containers or areas and greater frequency of refuse pick-up and collection vehicles). Optimization of refuse storage systems, resulted in efficient scheduling of refuse collection vehicles and an annual refuse collection cost savings of about US $500000.
