Each location has on average two
containers of 80 gallons each at
75% full. Refuse is picked up twice
per week. Truck has a compaction
ratio of 1:2.
Pickup time is 1.58 min per ser-
vice. Truck spends 20 min at the
disposal site. It takes 35 min to
drive to the disposal site.
Assume a density of 250 lb/yd'
yard for uncompacted refuse and
500 lb/yd yard for compacted
refuse.
