Distribution is an important aspect of the delivery process. So it is an activity that is useful to launch goods distribution activities from upstream to downstream. According to Philip Kotler (1997) Distribution is a group of organizations that create a process of distribution activities of a good or service, the distribution of trash from the Temporary Disposal Site (TPS) to the end in the optimal Final Disposal (TPA) is a step to Accelerate the arrival of trash to the final dump. presents an extension of the ant colony technique to solve the optimization case of the shortest route by taking into account the distance, capacity and grouping of the optimal depot using the ant algorithm model as the first step of optimization, The ant colony algorithm is adopted from the behavior of ant colonies known as the ant system (Dorigo, 1996 ). Naturally, ant colonies are able to find the shortest route on the way from the nest to the food sources Ant colonies can find the shortest route between the nest and the source, of food based on footprints on the trajectory that has been passed. This paper presents an extension of existing ant colony techniques to solve some of the trash removal problems from some Temporary Disposal Sites (TPS) to end up in the Final Disposal (TPA). so that in the process of taking garbage to each TPS, each vehicle brings waste with optimal capacity, without any empty vehicle, when the vehicle reaches the Final Disposal (TPA) with the shortest route consideration. Based on the results of simulation and evaluation studies using a model approach, it has been shown that the ant colony optimization technique proposed in this paper leads to more optimal results than the method.
