The use of Geographical Information System - GIS as a tool for the routing of the collecting vehicles of domestic solid waste was analyzed. The software TransCAD, version 3.2, was used. This GIS is used to develop routes by algorithm that includes a procedure of arc routing (Routine Arc Routing). The objective is to minimize the total distance travelled by the collecting vehicles. The case study was carried out in Ilha Solteira city. The collected data and the results obtained by TransCAD had been processed using the software Microsoft Excel. The results obtained showed that there was a decrease of 41% in the total distance and 68% in the total time compared to the current service.
