Abstract	Segregated waste transportation is crucial for the implementation of waste classification. The use of electric vehicles in smart cities to collect and transport waste directly to treatment plants can help to remove waste compacting stations. The amount of each type of generated wastes varies in different locations. However, the current uniform plan for configuring the number of bins is not reasonable, which results in a conflict between the operating costs of the waste collection services and the residents' dissatisfaction with the service. In this study, a plan is proposed to determine the number of waste bins based on the amount of the generated waste. A bi-objective optimization model is developed to solve the optimization of transportation routes with the Internet of Things transport mode. The model is solved by using an improved NSGA-II algorithm. A case study that examines transportation routes in 10 districts is conducted. The results show that the proposed plan is effective in reducing the costs of waste collection services and residents' dissatisfaction with the service. The proposed plan can reduce the operating expenses by ¥5.13 million in three years in 10 districts. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
