How many residences can be served? If we have a compactor truck which has a capacity of 30 yd3, each truck makes 3 trips/day 5 days a week, each residence has 3 people and each person produces 4lbs of waste. The density of the compacted waste is 425 lbs/yd3.

Collection Systems

The collection systems form a part of sanitary engineering, which is a sub-branch of civil engineering. It is also known as public health engineering and wastewater engineering. It is a methodology followed to remove and properly dispose of human waste, along with creating systems to provide safe and clean usable water. These measures ensure a hygienic and disease-free community. Sanitary engineering, apart from building sewer disposal units, is also involved in plumbing, fire protection, hydraulics, life safety, environmental protection, information technology, microbiology, pathology, and so on.
