| Abstract | This study is based on a mixed integer programming model, WASTE
RESOURCE ALLOCATION PROGRAM (WRAP), focusing on the optimization of
total solid waste transportation and disposal system costs, and
con sidering various transfer sites, disposal sites, transportation
options, treatment methods, capital and operating costs. The study
is carried out to assess the present and the future solid waste
management systems and improve option in transportation system
through introduction of a new transfer station in Tainan City.
The results of this study show that present treatment method,
sanitary landfill site , is the most expensive. The dominant factor
of the system cost is land cost. Incineration is cheaper than
landfill when l and cost is high.
Finally, recommendations are made for closing the present
landfill site at Nansalern and replaced it by Chenseelee landfill
site, constructing a new landfill site near Chenseelee if land can
be made available, beginning to plan another incineration plant,
and building a transfer station to save the system cost . |
