A landfill with capacity of 26,220 yd³and 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

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.
