2. A rural community of 15000 persons generates refuse at an average rate of 5 lb / capita/day. A 25 ac landfill site is available, with an average depth of compacted refuse limited to 20 ft by local topography. It is estimated that the compacted refuse will have a unit weight of 1000 lb/yard³ and that an additional 25% of volume will be taken up by the cover material. What is the anticipated useful life of the landfill?

Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.
