- A town with 2,350 residents wants to establish a municipality owned and operated solid waste collection program. They can purchase one of three possible trucks that have the ff. characteristics: Truck A, 18 m^3 capacity Truck B, 15 m^3 capacity Truck C, 12 m^3 capacity If the truck is to collect the refuse for one-fifth of the town each day during a 5-day work week, then every residence will be collected during the week, and the truck will have to make only one trip per day to the landfill. Which truck or trucks will have sufficient capacity. Assume a rate of 1.75 kg/capita/d. Assume that the truck is able to compact the refuse to 350 kg/ m^3 What is the total tonnage of solid waste to be collected/wk? What is the total weight of waste to be collected everyday? What is the required truck capacity in cubic meters? Which truck should be bought?arrow_forwardA new solid waste landfill site is being designed. The landfill will serve a population of 250,000 residents that generates 1 kg solid waste/day-person. Assume that yard waste makes up 15% of the total waste (by weight), paper makes up 40% of the total waste (by weight), and metals make up 10% of the waste (by weight). The municipality bans the placement of yardwaste in landfills and has a recycling program that collects one half of all discarded metals (the other half of metals goes to the landfill). What is the volume of waste that is discarded by the community every day? Assume a waste density at the curb of 140 kg/m^3.arrow_forwardCan 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.arrow_forward

The cost of hauling waste directly from the collection point to landfill is $0.1/ton.min. The speed limit of any type of vehicle carrying waste between the collection point, the transfer station, and the landfill is 40 miles/hr.
