Several indicators for the evaluation of the MSW collection systems have been proposed in the literature. These evaluation tools consider only some of the aspects that influence the operational efficiency of the collection service. The aim of this paper is to suggest a set of (easy to calculate) indicators that overcomes this limitation, taking into account both the characteristics of collected waste and the operational - economic performance. The main components of the collection system (labour, vehicles and containers) are separately considered so that it is possible to quantify and compare their role within the whole process. As an example of application, the proposed approach was used for comparing the MSW collection strategies adopted in four towns in Northern Italy. Results are discussed and a comparison with alternative assessment methods available in the scientific literature is reported.
文献中提出了几种用于评估 MSW 收集系统的指标。这些评估工具仅考虑了影响收集服务运营效率的一些方面。本文的目的是提出一组（易于计算）的指标来克服这一局限性，同时考虑到收集废物的特点和运营-经济绩效。收集系统的主要组成部分（劳动力、车辆和容器）分别加以考虑，以便能够量化和比较它们在整个过程中的作用。作为应用实例，本文采用所提出的方法比较了意大利北部四个城镇采用的 MSW 收集策略。讨论了结果，并报告了与科学文献中提供的替代评估方法的比较。
