The suppliers MECA Coleta Inteligente and MetaGreen have containers and
ecological boxes for the storage of lamps. Taking the price, size and quality of the
product as a criterion, 55-L containers were determined to store compact lamps. And
for the storage of tubular lamps, boxes that store up to 30 of each size. These sizes
were defined according to the amount of collection points in each of the regions and
according to the monthly discarded number of lamps calculated in Table 1.
The truck will return to the warehouse only when it passes through all defined
collect points. The truck’s capacity must be greater than the sum of the number of
lamps discarded at each of the collect points. Based on the estimate, two 140-L
containers and a box with a storage capacity of 150 tubular lamps of the same model
as described previously would be required.
Due to the number of collect points and the demand for the service, it would
not be possible to collect all lamps in just one day, therefore, the city was divided
into two zones: the north zone involving 25 points and 11 regions, and the south
zone, involving 23 points and 8 regions. Each week, the truck would make a route,
alternating in each zone, to reach all points established by the routing in just one day.
Through RoutEasy
® , an online script, the route for each zone was simulated. The
starting point was defined as the headquarters of the Environment and Ecology’s
Office of the Municipality since the trucks are parked in the garage of this place. The
final point was defined as a shed located behind the Environment’s Office. Both are
represented by the zero point within the figure.
Figure 5 shows the simulation of the northern route, with a total distance of
17.8 km.
The routing of the southern area totaled 25.9 km. The simulation of this route can
be seen in Fig. 6.
