Can I get a thorough step by step for the following question?
A sanitary landfill has available space 25 ha at an average depth 12 m. Nine hundred sixty-five (965) cubic meters of solid waste are dumped at the site each day for 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.
Assuming waste not recovered all goes to landfills. Determine the total landfill capacity consumed
national wide each year. The specific weights of waste at landfill are as follows. Convert your
answer to # of football stadiums filled.
Area of football stadium = 1.75 x size of a standard football field
Depth of filling = 30 ft
