Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a possible approach to the modelling of waste incinerators deployment in Slovakia within the purview of Green and Reverse logistics. Une-ven distribution of certain waste incinerators types in the SR may lead to the efficiency reduction in waste collection and disposal. Building up the effective network of waste collection sites and waste incinerators depending on a type of waste and a number of separated components, this presumes to satisfy the requirements of acceptable availability. In this process, there can be as effective tools applied the location models, based on the theories and methods of Mathe-matical programming. In this paper is applied the group of location models so as to optimise the deployment of waste incinerators.
