Answer 3-20 plus the following question: If 100 commercial locations are to be serviced twice a week, and there are 5 workdays per week, how many trucks are needed?

Transcribed Image Text:3-20. Estimate the number of commercial
locations that can be serviced in one
day by the collecting vehicle described
below:
truck volume = 20 yd³ and density
of 250 lb/yd³ for uncompacted
refuse
compaction ratio = 2
container volume = 6 yd³
on average, containers are 80% full
drive between locations = 8 minutes
at site time (loading dumpster into
truck) = 15 min
haul time (to transfer or disposal) =
20 min (one way)
to and from garage (at beginning and
end of day) = 15 min
workday = 8 h
off-route factor= 0.25 (breaks, lunch,
