Question

The landfill volume required for dry solid waste generated by a food factory per year is 300 m3. After drying the wet solid waste from the factory X% of it is recycled, followed by 2.5X% diversion for composting and 400 m3 for incineration, before the remainder is sent to the landfill. Using the information given below:

Density of dry solid waste = 460 kg/m3

Daily generation of wet solid waste = 2200 kg

Moisture content of the wet solid waste = 32%

(ii)       Determine X% and estimate the dimensions of the landfill site if the length: width : depth = 6:5:4
