Abstract
Morocco has implemented circular economy principles in their waste management program to close or rehabilitate all existing landfills. However, the waste collection and transportation process remain highly inefficient and costly, contributing to a substantial environmental footprint for waste collection operations. The inefficiencies in the current waste management system highlight the need for innovative solutions to optimize collection processes and minimize environmental impact. This study responds to this imperative by proposing the use of smart bin technology combined with a vehicle routing problem tool. The integration of these technologies aims to develop an intelligent solution for appropriate waste collection, limiting container pickup only when necessary, and optimizing waste collection routes. Our approach considers several factors, including the fill level of each container, time windows, vehicle capacity, and tour completion constraints. By addressing these key factors, the system seeks to revolutionize waste management practices, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of waste collection.
