The aim of the study was to create a hybrid forecasting method that could produce higher accuracy forecasts than previously used ‘pure’ time series methods. Mentioned methods were already tested with total automotive waste, hazardous automotive waste, and total medical waste generation, but demonstrated at least a 6% error rate in different cases and efforts were made to decrease it even more. Newly developed hybrid models used a random start generation method to incorporate different time-series advantages and it helped to increase the accuracy of forecasts by 3%–4% in hazardous automotive waste and total medical waste generation cases; the new model did not increase the accuracy of total automotive waste generation forecasts. Developed models’ abilities to forecast short- and mid-term forecasts were tested using prediction horizon.
