The amount of electronic waste (e-waste) is steadily increasing due to the rapid and unconscious consumption of technological products in Turkey today. This study aims to address the current situation of electrical and electronic goods in Turkey. The registered collection rate of electronic waste (e-waste) in our country is low. The primary reason for these low collection rates is the unregistered and uncontrolled gathering of electronic waste (e-waste). These waste materials need to be reintegrated into the economy. Without a suitable collection infrastructure, it becomes challenging to effectively recover electronic waste. The scarcity of electronic waste (e-waste) collection centers in Turkey and the absence of collection boxes in easily accessible areas constitute a significant issue. As part of this study, the optimal location for establishing waste collection centers (warehouses) for electronic waste improperly collected in Turkey was determined. The IBM OPL CPLEX program was utilized to identify the number and locations of the warehouses to be opened. The study comprises 28 demand points, and the P-median problem was employed as a location-allocation model to ensure the most suitable service for these demand points. As a result of the optimization, the appropriate locations for the warehouses to be opened have been determined. It is challenging for the community to transport their waste from their homes to the locations where warehouses are planned to be established. To ensure that all provinces receive service, there is a plan to install waste collection boxes in central locations.
