Abstract - A This project consist of collecting data related

Solid Waste Management in all Municipalities and Corporations. several problems are experienced in solid waste management that include:

to solid waste management of Aurangabad city and “ROUTE OPTIMIZATION MUNCIPAL SOLID WASTE COLLECTION (WARD 109, AURANGABAD)”.Aurangabad is famous tourist city of the Maharashtra state. The problems associated with solid waste management in the city of Aurangabad require immediate attention and action. At the surface the reasons for improper solid waste management include growing population and city. Optimization of the routing system for collection and transport of solid waste thus constitutes an important component for productive solid waste management system. This study applied GIS and GPS technologies to map municipal solid waste collection system and identify optimum route for solid waste collection in the study area. A geographic information system (GIS) is a structure for gathering, managing, and analyzing data. It analyzes spatial location and organizes layers of information into visualizations using maps this study deals with optimization of routes for municipal waste collection using GIS network. Optimized route for solid waste collections are evaluated for different standards such as less fuel, shortest travel path, and minimum collection time for collection and best practices for future survey throughout the city.

1.2 GEOGRAPHICAL EXTEND AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT STUDY Aurangabad city is one of the major industrial Aurangabad city is one of the major industrial Waluj, Pandharpur and Paithan MIDC area. Due to urbanization and increase in population solid waste is major source of environmental pollution. Solid waste disposal poses a greater problem because it leads to land pollution if openly dumped, water pollution if dumped in low lands and air pollution if burnt. Aurangabad city is facing serious environmental degradation and public-health risk due uncollected disposal of waste on streets and other public areas, clogged drainage system by indiscriminately dumped wastes and by contamination of water resources near uncontrolled dumping sites. This project gives the brief idea of the current waste- generation, characteristics and management scenario in Aurangabad City, along with the associated environmental impacts.

1.INTRODUCTION Waste management (or waste disposal) are the activities and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. This includes the collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste, together with monitoring and regulation of the waste management process. Solid waste collection is a major section in the process of solid waste management (SWM) and it is estimated to consume up to two third of entire SWM budget.
