AB  - The collection of source separated kerbside municipal FW (SSFW) is being 
      incentivised in Australia, however such a collection is likely to increase the 
      fuel and time a collection truck fleet requires. Therefore, waste managers need 
      to determine whether the incentives outweigh the cost. With literature scarcely 
      describing the magnitude of increase, and local parameters playing a crucial role 
      in accurately modelling kerbside collection; this paper develops a new general 
      mathematical model that predicts the energy and time requirements of a collection 
      regime whilst incorporating the unique variables of different jurisdictions. The 
      model, Municipal solid waste collect (MSW-Collect), is validated and shown to be 
      more accurate at predicting fuel consumption and trucks required than other 
      common collection models. When predicting changes incurred for five different 
      SSFW collection scenarios, results show that SSFW scenarios require an increase 
      in fuel ranging from 1.38% to 57.59%. There is also a need for additional trucks 
      across most SSFW scenarios tested. All SSFW scenarios are ranked and analysed in 
      regards to fuel consumption; sensitivity analysis is conducted to test key 
      assumptions.
