This paper considers a bi-objective mathematical model for locations of landfills, transfer stations and material recovery facilities (MRFs) in order to serve the entire regions and simultaneously identify the capacities of landfills. This is a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model, whose objectives are to minimize the total cost and pollution simultaneously. To validate the model, a numerical example is solved an augmented ε-constraint method and the associated computational results are presented to show the number of solid waste facilities and location of sites for solid waste facilities.

Keywords: Solid waste management, Landfill location, Transfer station, Material recovery facilities, Capacity allocation
