Abstract

The problem of proper organization of waste management systems these days becomes more and more significant. Plans of waste management, assume lowering the number of waste indicated for treatment, encouraging the reuse of waste and creating preferences in order to raise the level of recovery processes, in particular, recycling. Realization of the aforementioned establishments in the following years will be significantly dependent from the proper organization of waste management systems. In the article, the authors presented a method of evaluation of the process of planning of waste collection zones, which uses the simulation model. Assuming that the dependability of the system is its capability to fulfill what is expected of the system, we might assume that, in relation to the subsystem of waste collection, the main measure of evaluation will be the reception of the waste in a timely manner and having required the values of indicators defining its efficiency. The presented method allows one to assign points (places of waste gathering) in already existing zones, in case of which, it should be considered to transfer them to other zones of waste collection. The improvement of zones for waste collection will raise the access of the means of transport and will improve the timeliness of the collection, significantly influencing the level of dependability of the collection subsystem.
