We propose a systematic mathematical scheme to provide data-backed choices on which environmentally problematic and/or redundant recycling centers to close. Arbitrary closures of recycling centers risk populations forced to travel too far for recycling leading to an increased tendency of dumping waste in the nature. For a preprint of parts of this work, see: https://optimization-online.org/?p=25855
