The municipal solid waste collection-transportation system has recently become an important topic of discussion among solid waste management planners, because of geometrical increase of the municipal solid waste volume and the collection-transportation distances. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relation between efficient municipal solid waste collection-transportation system and the environmental impact. The efficient municipal solid waste collection-transportation system under this study includes the introduction of relay transportation system and the dispersion of collection-transportation bases. The environmental impact is measured in terms of going into and out of the collection-transportation base and changing transportation route. Depending on the municipal solid waste collection-transportation survey conducted at Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture, this paper presents the efficient system balanced with the environment.
