Paper Abstract
According to European Directives, transposed in national legislation, the Member States should organize separate
collection systems at least for paper, metal, plastic, and glass until 2015. In Romania, since 2011 only 12% of municipal
collected waste was recovered, the rest being stored in landfills, although storage is considered the last option in the
waste hierarchy. At the same time there was selectively collected only 4% of the municipal waste. Surveys have shown
that the Romanian people do not have selective collection bins close to their residencies. The article aims to analyze the
current situation in Romania in the field of waste collection and management and to make a proposal for selective
collection containers layout, using geographic information systems tools, for a case study in Romania. Route
optimization is used based on remote sensing technologies and network analyst protocols. Optimizing selective
collection system the greenhouse gases, particles and dust emissions can be reduced.
