A sanitary landfill is being designed to handle solid waste generated by the town of Pietro, at a rate of 40 Mg/day. It is expected that the waste will be delivered by compactor truck on a 5 days/week basis. The density as spread is 129 kg/m3. It will be spread in 0.8 meter layers and compacted to 0.3 meters. Assuming 2 such lifts per day and a daily cover of 0.13 meters, box your answer the annual volume of landfill consumed in cubic meters. Ignore the soil volume between the stacks. Answer in two decimal value.Also In your solution Compute also the daily horizontal area covered by the solid waste.

A sanitary landfill has available space of 16.2 hectares at an average depth of 10 m. 765 m3 of solid waste are dumped daily at the landfill 5 days per week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density. Draw a mass balance diagram and estimate the expected life of the landfill in years.
Determine the area (m2) required for a new landfill site with a projected life of 10 years for a population of 100,000 generating 2.00 kg/capita-day. The density of the compacted waste is 400 kg/m3. The height of the landfill cannot exceed 10 meters.
1. A sanitary landfill has available space of 16.2 ha at an average depth of 10 m. Seven hundred sixty-five (765) cubic meters of solid waste are dumped at the site 5 days per week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density. Draw a mass balance diagram and estimate the expected life of the landfill in years.
3. A MSW facility is designed to handle solid waste generated by a town at a rate of 75,000 kg/d. The waste is delivered by compactor truck 4 days/week, and 30% of the waste is recycled. The density of the disposed waste before compaction is 120 kg/m3. The waste is compressed to a compaction ratio of 4.0. Daily cover takes up 20% of the total landfill cell volume, and a single lift is 3.5 m high. Engineers have designed the landfill for two lifts, and a total of 6.0 hectares are available for this MSW landfill. Calculate how long (in years) it will take to fill up this landfill as designed.
