In this study, an integrated fuzzy-stochastic linear programming model is developed and applied to municipal solid waste management. Methods of chance-constrained programming and fuzzy linear programming are incorporated within a general interval-parameter mixedinteger linear programming framework. It improves upon the existing optimization methods with advantages in uncertainty reflection, dat...
