Exploring Benefit Transfer: Disamenities of Waste Transfer Stations

Benefit Transfer of Disamenities’ Values of Waste Transfer-Stations in Israel

Monetary estimates for disamenities related to waste transfer stations were measured in simultaneous hedonic pricing valuation surveys conducted in four different cities in Israel, in order to test the performance of the benefit transfer method. The sites were chosen to generate a mix of similar and dissimilar samples. All four sites were used both as policy and study sites. We applied the appr...

A Multi-objective Model for Location of Transfer Stations: Case Study in Waste Management System of Tehran

This paper presents a multi-objective optimization model for the design of a waste management system consisting of customers, transfer stations, landfills and collection vehicles. The developed model aims to simultaneously minimize the total costs, greenhouse gas emissions and the rates of energy consumption. To tackle the multiple objectives in the problem, we utilize an interactive fuzzy prog...

Measuring Externalities of Waste Transfer-Station Using Hedonic Prices: Case study, Israel

Waste transfer-stations play an important role in a community’s waste management system, serving as the link between a community’s solid waste collection program and a final waste disposal facility. This study aims to estimate economic values of externalities related to waste transfer-stations in Israel. Most externalities are associated with local disamenities experienced by residents living i...

Research on Layout Optimization of Urban Circle Solid Waste Transfer and Disposal Stations

Based on the Systematic Layout Planning theory and the analysis of transfer stations’ technological processes, a layout optimization model for solid waste transfer and disposal stations was made. The operating units’ layout of the solid waste transfer and disposal stations was simulated and optimized using the genetic algorithm, which could achieve reasonable technological processes, the smalle...
