In a suburban area of a city, the total time dedicated to waste collection is, on average, 100 times greater than the combined average time it takes for each stop's collection and the time it takes to reach the next stop. If a waste collection truck has a compaction ratio of 2 and can transport a maximum of 8 (m3) of compacted solid waste per trip, what is the truck's average load volume for each collection in (L)?\

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.
