Abstract

Solid waste management is one of the most important concepts of environmental management due to its direct effect on citizens’ life standards and public health. In this chapter it is aimed to compare underground waste bins and roadside waste bins in a solid waste collection system from economic perspective using type-2 fuzzy net present worth analysis . Results show that underground waste bins should be preferred instead of roadside bins even if they have higher initial investment costs.
