Therefore, VRP research was conducted to determine the transportation of waste routes in West Bandung area by producing solutions that can be proposed to reduce the total distances. The research was solved using the Tabu Search method, the application of this method requires the initial solution. In this study, the saving and sequential method insertion used to create the initial solution, then the initial solution was done repair by using the Tabu Search algorithm. The result of data processing with tabu Search generates 15 routes with the total mileage for each day of 448.48 km.
