Abstract Increasing population in cities combined with efforts to obtain more sustainable living spaces will require a smarter Solid Waste Management System (SWMS). A critical step in SWMS is the collection of wastes, generally associated with expensive costs faced by companies or municipalities in this sector. Some studies are being developed for the optimization of waste collection routes, but few consider inland cities as model regions. Here, the model region considered for the route optimization using Guided Local Search (GLS) algorithm was Bragança, a city in the northeast region of Portugal. The algorithm used in this work is available in open-source Google OR-tools. Results show that waste collection efficiency is affected by the upper limit of waste in dumpsters. Additionally, it is demonstrated the importance of dynamic selection of dumpsters. For instance, efficiency decreased 10.67% for the best upper limit compared to the traditional collection in the regular selection of dumpsters (levels only). However, an improvement of 50.45% compared to traditional collection was observed using dynamic selection of dumpsters to be collected. In other words, collection cannot be improved only by letting dumpsters reach 90% of waste level. In fact, strategies such as the dynamic selection here presented, can play an important role to save resources in a SWMS.
