10.7 A). Determine the impact of a resource recovery program on landfill area
requirement, in which 40% of the paper, 60% of the glass, and 80% of tin cans
are recovered. Knowing that the previous land fill was designed for a city of
40 000 in population,
Amount of waste generation = 2.5 kg/capita/d
refuse is filled into a depth of about 3 m.
The landfill site is to be used for 13 years
