Dataset of the paper "Modeling and solving an integrated periodic vehicle routing and capacitated facility location problem in the context of solid waste collection"

This dataset includes the instances used in the paper: González, B., Rossit, D., Frutos, M., Méndez, M. Modeling and solving an integrated periodic vehicle routing and capacitated facility location problem in the context of solid waste collection. Ann Oper Res 350, 979–1015 (2025). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10479-025-06626-4 For each instance/folder there are three files: waste.txt: it includes, from left to right the id, the geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude) and the waste generation rate (in cubic meters) per day of each collection point. times.txt: it includes the travelling times (in minutes) between collection points in a from/to table. containers.txt: it includes the description of the bin combinations considered in the paper: id, capacity (in cubic meters), service time (in minutes) and weekly cost (in US$). This file is common to all instances/folders.
