A landfill with capacity of 26,220 yd and a maximum height of 20 feet, serves a population of 80,000 persons with a waste generation rate of 4.1 lb/capita/day. If the average final specific weight of the waste placed in the landfill is 1200 lb/yd, estimate the amount as delivered waste (expressed in yd') with an average density of 500 lb/yd', that can be placed in the landfill assuming that 30 % of the original waste will be lost through production of landfill gas
A fine ash waste stream contains iron at a concentration of 1,5 mg/kg waste with a LC50 of 90 mg/l, must be disposed of at a landfill with area of 32,5 ha. (presence of Teratogen, mutagen and carcinogen tested negative).Determine the hazard rating of the waste and the landfill site class where it can be disposed of, if 120 000 ton of waste will be disposed annually.
The City of Forty-Five (population 465,565) has requested your assistance in evaluating its solid waste collection system. Determine the mean time per collection stop plus the mean time to reach the next stop, the number of pickup locations per load, and the minimum number of trucks the city must own. The City of Forty-Five collection data are as follows: Average truck capacity = 12.5 m3; Average observed compaction ratio = 2.87 Crew size = 2; Number of pickups = 1 /wk (no rear-of-house service) Average number of cans per stop = 2.63/wk at 0.1136 m3/can Average number of residents per stop = 5 Average uncompacted density = 105.76 kg/m3 Average transport time to disposal site including delays and dumping = 1.78 h/trip Average number of trips to disposal site = 2/d; Rest breaks = 2 at 28.0 min Average maintenance downtime = 37.0 min/d; Average workday = 8.00 h Average percent of trucks out of service for major repairs = 15.0% Number of workday per week = 5

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?
