The rate of percolation into a 12-m deep landfill is 248 mm/y. The refuse (i.e., waste) field capacity is 305 mm/m and the moisture content of the refuse is 180 mm/m. Calculate how many years it will take for the moisture front to move through the landfill and produce leachate. Round your answer to one term past the decimal point.

Question 1
Municipal solid waste is generated within a community from several sources, not just the List and discuss these sources.
In the town of Abesim, it is determined that the per capita waste generation rate is 1.4 kg(3.1 lb) per person per day. The collection is conducted once per week by the municipality. If the density of MSW in a typical trash container is 150 kg/m3, how many 120 L (30 gal) containers would be needed for a family of four?
From (b), collection trucks have a capacity of 11.5 m3(15 yd3), which can compactthe waste to a density of 420 kg/m3. How many customers can a truck handle in a single run, before departing for the transfer station?
In your community, is waste collection carried out by the municipality or by a privatehauler? Who collects the commercial wastes?
