ABSTRACT
A problem of solid waste became in the present day common global

and radical them. and that transport costs constitute an important component
of total costs borne by the municipal districts in the process of disposal of
solid waste, so any improvement in the transport system will lead to savings in
transport costs, so it will use the method of Vogel approximate model of
transport for access to a lower cost of transport solid waste generated from
areas to landfill sites.
