In this study a methodology for the optimization of the waste collection and transport system, based on Geographic Information System (GIS) was developed in this system, we introduce a mobile application to manage garbage in various areas. Through this mobile application, we can direct connect to the Municipal Council and inform the exact location of the garbage dump. In this system, we mainly focus on garbage dumps in the streets and main roads.
