Abstract Rapid urbanization and population growth has caused municipal solid waste management to be a major challenge for cities worldwide. Thus, local authorities must develop infrastructure to handle increasing waste and reduce pressure on existing facilities. This growth demands multiple facilities for collection, segregation, and treatment. To address this, the study presents a generalized mathematical model for the comprehensive planning of waste management facilities, incorporating a bi-objective approach to manage infrastructure undesirability and the Not-In-My-Backyard (NIMBY) issue. We showcase the model's applicability for real-life scenarios and its validity is demonstrated through a case study of Faridabad, a smart city in India. The application of the proposed model leads to 8–25 % cost savings and offers a quantitative approach for assessing and mitigating undesirability. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
