Verde Island is about 10,500 acres. Currently, it is occupied by 12000 persons generates refuse at an average rate of 2 lb / capita/day. As a way of giving back to the community, they save the 55 ac area as a landfill site, with an average depth of compacted refuse limited to 13 ft. LGU estimated that the compacted refuse will have a unit weight of 480 lb/yard3 and that 75% of volume will be taken up by the compacted refuse. What is the useful life of the SLF (year)?

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?
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?
To treat solid waste generated from a town of population 80000, a landfill is designed. The per capita solid waste generation is 1.8 kg/day/person and density of compacted solid waste is 1250 kg/m3. The solid waste cover factor is 3.0. Estimate the area of landfill required in hectares for 15 years of operation. Assume depth of landfill as 5 m.
