The City of Forty-Five (population 465,565) has requested your assistance in evaluating its solid waste collection system. Determine the mean time per collection stop plus the mean time to reach the next stop, the number of pickup locations per load, and the minimum number of trucks the city must own. The City of Forty-Five collection data are as follows: Average truck capacity = 12.5 m3; Average observed compaction ratio = 2.87 Crew size = 2;  Number of pickups = 1 /wk (no rear-of-house service) Average number of cans per stop = 2.63/wk at 0.1136 m3/can Average number of residents per stop = 5 Average uncompacted density = 105.76 kg/m3 Average transport time to disposal site including delays and dumping = 1.78 h/trip Average number of trips to disposal site = 2/d; Rest breaks = 2 at 28.0 min Average maintenance downtime = 37.0 min/d; Average workday = 8.00 h Average percent of trucks out of service for major repairs = 15.0% Number of workday per week = 5

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.
