ABSTRACT=In the context of rural revitalization strategies, effectively managing rural waste is a critical task for achieving ecological environmental sustainability. This paper examines the current state of garbage collection and transportation, focusing on the rural waste management practices in Dongfeng County, Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province, through mathematical modeling. By analyzing the rural domestic waste collection network, the volume of waste generated at various points is fuzzified using fuzzy mathematical theory. The results of the path optimization for waste collection and transportation were derived from a case study, demonstrating the feasibility and practicality of the rural domestic waste recycling network model. Additionally, sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the impact of changes on the total cost. This paper offers potential solutions for rural waste recycling and treatment, providing valuable insights for the development of a rural domestic waste recycling network in Jilin Province.
