Abstract
Municipal solid waste management requires a better plan for developing cities like Aurangabad, in India. The ecofriendly environment and reduction in cost can be achieved and analyzed with advanced scientific technology like Geographical Information System (GIS). This study uses GIS for investigating adequate number and positions of existing collection bins in one of the urban ward Chelipura, Aurangabad, India. The proposed numbers of collection bins were suggest according to total MSW generation in the ward. Then the optimal positions were found with reference to existing bin locations, road network and population density. The three different proximity distances such as 50m, 75m and 100m around existing and proposed bins were generated and optimal distance to be found. As a result, the entire area was covered by 100m distance around the collection bin. Thus, the proposed model suggested some modifications in existing system and which would recommend best possible collection services.
