The Tatooine community will landfill plastic along with the inert material and rubber. Assuming that inert material and rubber together account for 54.8% of the remainder waste, determine the volume of the landfill if it is to operate for 24 years. The density of the compacted waste is 895 kg/m³. Recall that the community has a population of 600663 residents and generate 0.7 kg of solid waste per day per person. The main waste fractions are shown in the table below: Waste fraction Percent (%) Food waste 41.1 Paper 19.8 Plastic 13.9 Yard waste 8.4 The remainder of the waste consists of metal, glass, inert material and rubber. Answer: x Om^3 Okm^3 You did not give the correct unit. The volume of the landfill is determined by calculating landfilled portion of the waste, that is the plastic content + the inert and rubber portion of the waste. The correct answer is: 9.51e5 m^3

A landfill with capacity of 26,220 yd and a maximum height of 20 feet, serves a population of 80,000 persons with a waste generation rate of 4.1 lb/capita/day. If the average final specific weight of the waste placed in the landfill is 1200 lb/yd, estimate the amount as delivered waste (expressed in yd') with an average density of 500 lb/yd', that can be placed in the landfill assuming that 30 % of the original waste will be lost through production of landfill gas
A fine ash waste stream contains iron at a concentration of 1,5 mg/kg waste with a LC50 of 90 mg/l, must be disposed of at a landfill with area of 32,5 ha. (presence of Teratogen, mutagen and carcinogen tested negative).Determine the hazard rating of the waste and the landfill site class where it can be disposed of, if 120 000 ton of waste will be disposed annually.
According to the U.S. EPA, what is the current cost per ton for disposal of municipal solid waste in a landfill to the nearest $10/ton? (tipping fee) $ 50/ton $ 70/ton $ 60/ton O $ 40/ton

A municipality with a population of 120,000 is under state mandate to recycle 20% of the solid waste generated by its citizens. The remaining 80% will be landfilled. The per capita waste generation rate is 2.2 kg/day. The landfilled waste in-place maximum compacted density is 820 kg/m3, and the soil-cover-to-compacted-waste ratio is 1:4 by volume. The landfill covers a rectangular area 400 m by 500 m. The maximum landfill height cannot exceed 25 m with 1:1 side slopes. What is the operating life of the landfill?
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.
A town with 2,350 residents wants to establish a municipality owned and operated solid waste collection program. They can purchase one of three possible trucks that have the ff. characteristics: Truck A, 18 m^3 capacity Truck B, 15 m^3 capacity Truck C, 12 m^3 capacity If the truck is to collect the refuse for one-fifth of the town each day during a 5-day work week, then every residence will be collected during the week, and the truck will have to make only one trip per day to the landfill. Which truck or trucks will have sufficient capacity. Assume a rate of 1.75 kg/capita/d. Assume that the truck is able to compact the refuse to 350 kg/ m^3 What is the total tonnage of solid waste to be collected/wk? What is the total weight of waste to be collected everyday? What is the required truck capacity in cubic meters? Which truck should be bought?
A landfill receives 10000tons/day of waste. This receipt rate increases 10% per year. The landfill is closed at the end of the fourth year. Using the exponential model calculate the yearly gas production for 20 years after opening. What is the peak peak gas production in m3/yr.
