Recycling is an important part of waste management (that includes different kinds of issues: environmental, technological, economic, legislative, social, etc.). In this work, differently from many works in literature, attention is focused on recycling management and on the dynamic optimization of materials collection. The developed dynamic decision model is characterized by state variables, corresponding to the quantity of biomass in each container per each day, and control variables determining the quantity of material that is collected in the area each day and the routes to be followed. The developed decision model is integrated in a GIS-based Decision Support System that allows calculating daily waste generation.

Abstract
Recycling is an important part of waste management (that includes different kinds of issues: environmental, technological, economic, legislative, social, etc.). In this work, differently from many works in literature, attention is focused on recycling management and on the dynamic optimization of materials collection. The developed dynamic decision model is characterized by state variables, corresponding to the quantity of biomass in each container per each day, and control variables determining the quantity of material that is collected in the area each day and the routes to be followed. The developed decision model is integrated in a GIS-based Decision Support System that allows calculating daily waste generation.
