Abstract

Municipal Solid Waste management services in Jimma city starts with collection by vehicles with a loading capacity of eight cubic meters and 52 metallic containers for waste storage and next stage is transportation to the existing dumping sites and disposal. However this collected waste did not transport to the dump early due to lacke of budget. This study have a great importance to reduces cost of transportation for solid waste. The required data for this study were collected from various research articles conducted and from Jimma town kebeles. Unbalanced transportation Problem is used to obtain the basic optimal feasible solution. The result of the study answers the question that, which kebele solid waste transported to which disposal site?
