- Solid Waste Management On daily basis, and for six months a family brought to the home 60.0 lb of consumer good (food, newspaper, magazines, etc. The family consumes 10.0 lb of food that day, and 6.0 lb of food is stored. Paper is 35% of the waste produced and all of it goes to the fireplace except magazines. The magazines received represent 15 percent of the paper wastes of the day, and they are not thrown away. If bottles and cans represent 60% (by weight), and are recycled by the family. Twenty- eight percent of the paper waste (35 percent total) is burned in the fireplace. Calculate the following: A- The amount of solid wastes disposed from the home during one-day period.
