The Davao landfill serves a population of 253,000. Each week 325 trucks bring a total of 2180 t of MSW to the landfill. Each truck
averages two loads per day. The trucks each have a capacity of 4.5 t, and operate 5 days per week.
(a) How much MSW is generated per person? Give your answer in kg capita-1 · day.
(b) What is the average load (in metric tonnes) in each truck when they arrive at the landfill? At what capacity are the trucks
operating?
(C) If, the density of the waste is 265 kg m-3, what is the volume of MSW disposed of at the landfill each week?
