(Industrial and Systems Engineering))--University of Pretoria, 2018. The focus of this study is to analyse the operations of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) diversion, from Robinson Deep Land ll site situated in City of Johannesburg (COJ), to a privately owned Interwaste land ll, which is 90 km from Robinson Deep Land ll. Pikitup is the o cial integrated waste management service provider to the City of Johannesburg. Pikitup maintain six land ll sites, including the Robinson Deep Land ll sites. This study will compare three waste diversion scenarios namely; diversion by road only, diversion by road to a Transfer Station (TS) to rail transport, and road to TS to dirty Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) to rail transportation. This study is based on the logistics of transporting MSW, and identifying the resources required to divert MSW from Robinson Deep Land ll site. MSW data from Pikitup and the City of Cape Town will be considered in this study. A feasibility study will be conducted to determine the best waste diversion method for Pikitup. The three scenarios will be compared based on the cost of the trans- portation mode, the amount of waste that can be diverted from Robinson Deep Land ll per day and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of each scenario. The study looks separately at road operations, and a combination of railroad operations by outlining the various planning and logistical requirements for diverting MSW from Robinson Deep to a privately owned Interwaste land ll in Delmas (Klinkerstene). 2019-02-01T09:48:14Z 2019-02-01T09:48:14Z 2018 2018 Mini Dissertation http://hdl.handle.net/2263/68363 en en © 2018 University of Pretoria.
