With the increase in the number of daily waste, the problem of their disposal and recycling has been and remains relevant at all times. In order to qualitatively approach the solution of this problem, it is necessary to take into account the presence of different types of waste and each of them should be treated individually. The waste management service is usually carried out by local municipal agencies. As the amount of materials collected is constantly increasing, and waste treatment and disposal stations are being created more and more, emptying requests tend to become more frequent and require additional territories. This trend requires effective computerized solution methods based on optimization algorithms that can take full advantage of the integrated management of all processing stations.
